This study examines the influence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) on Sustainable Construction Management (SCM) by addressing the critical gap in understanding how Construction Safety Culture (CSC) mediates this relationship. Given the increasing integration of digital technologies in construction, this research aims to establish the role of CSC in enhancing BIM-driven sustainability outcomes, providing empirical insights for industry professionals and policymakers. This study employs a quantitative research approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the relationships between BIM, CSC, and SCM. A structured questionnaire was distributed using a random sampling technique, targeting construction professionals engaged in large-scale projects. A total of 223 valid responses were collected, ensuring a representative dataset for assessing BIM adoption and its impact on sustainable construction management. The findings indicate that BIM significantly enhances SCM, with CSC acting as a strong mediator in this relationship. SEM results confirm that BIM adoption positively influences SCM through improved risk analysis, resource optimization, and safety-focused planning. The mediation analysis further reveals that CSC strengthens this impact, highlighting its crucial role in achieving sustainable construction outcomes. The findings underscore the need for fostering a robust safety culture to maximize BIM’s effectiveness in sustainable construction projects.
