Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption in the Philippines remains limited due to high software costs, a shortage of skilled BIM operators, and reliance on traditional tools like AutoCAD and MS Excel. Despite its transformative potential, BIM has yet to gain widespread appreciation among academicians and practitioners in the construction industry. This study demonstrates the application of 5D BIM in project management, focusing on the Second Ayala Bridge Construction Project. A diagnostic research design was employed to investigate challenges and propose solutions. Bentley Applications, including OpenBridge Modeler for 3D modeling, iTwin Synchronizer as a cloud-based construction management platform, and Synchro 4D Pro for 4D and 5D modeling, were utilized. Using the 5D BIM model and data from JICA’s feasibility study, the study produced various deliverables, including a clash-free model, automated drawings, scheduling, Gantt charts, Planned Value Analysis (PVA), construction simulations, dynamic reports, model-based Quantity Takeoff (QTO), and cost estimates. The findings demonstrated BIM's ability to deliver significant advantages in construction project management, such as enhanced accuracy, improved scheduling, and streamlined processes. These results underline the value of adopting BIM in the Philippine construction industry. However, further exploration and studies are recommended to maximize its potential and address existing barriers to implementation. By integrating BIM into project management practices, the construction industry in the Philippines can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance project outcomes.
