Abstract Building information modeling (BIM) is gaining prominence in international construction projects (ICPs). While BIM is able to improve project performance and address certain ICP risks, it can also increase the number of risks to ICPs. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review for addressing risks in BIM-enabled ICPs. A cross-systematic review approach was adopted to consider limited sources of references when reviewing risks in BIM-enabled ICPs as a single subject. Hence, six steps of reviews were formulated in connection with ICP risks, BIM-related risks, risk analysis and management techniques, and BIM uses. The findings of the cross-systematic review indicate (a) current and potential BIM uses in dealing with ICP risks, and (b) current and potential risk analyses and management techniques in addressing BIMrelated risks. The review provides practical references for industry players and valuable insights into the future development of new BIM uses and risk management in BIM-enabled ICPs.
1 Introduction International construction projects (ICPs) are exposed to greater risks as they are more complicated than domestic construction projects in terms of contractual, government, cultural, and economic aspects [1] and technical requirements [16]. Building information modeling (BIM) has been adopted to address general project risks. For example, BIM has been integrated with other technologies to improve project performance [141] such as integration with sensing technologies for monitoring real-time environmental hazards [12]; and quality control [140]. As BIM becomes more popular and accepted in ICPs, it can also trigger additional risks and threats [134] owing to its technologyrelated risks and process-related risks [13]. Hence, some review papers have been completed to assess critical risk factors of BIM [25], the potential use of BIM in the oil and gas industry [78], clarified BIM applications in different research domains [112], sustainability aspects of BIM [26],

and BIM-related technologies in risk management areas [156]. Previous studies pertaining to risk management are too general [94] or too specific toward certain parties [120]. No prior research has considered or investigated risk management in BIM-enabled ICPs. Therefore, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive review in addressing risks in BIM-enabled ICPs. Owing to limited references for BIM-enabled ICPs, a cross-systematic review was adopted to analyze and cross-examine four knowledge domains:
