This literature study reviews existing research on project governance, stakeholder management, and project performance in the context of public sector infrastructure projects, with a focus on the impact of Building Information Modelling (BIM).Stakeholder engagement is an undertheorized area of construction project management research. Often simplified as an act of corporate social responsibility, the complexity of the engagement concept means its processes and consequences evade closer scrutiny and analysis. The review explores the potential benefits of BIM in enhancing stakeholder satisfaction, communication, collaboration, and engagement, emphasizing its role in achieving project objectives. External management consultants have been increasingly employed by owners of complex construction projects (CCPs) to foster management innovation and improve their organizational capability. However, the dynamics of the owner-consultant collaboration process in such projects are still unknown. To bridge this gap, this paper explores the roles of external consultant involvement in fostering management innovation and developing an organizational capability in CCPs. The theoretical framework and empirical findings offer both project managers and policy makers with new insights into how to govern the diverse social responsibility issues in megaproject construction and management. This study aims to explore indirect pathways that external stakeholders normally pursue to affect construction projects and to develop a framework of stakeholder-influencing pathways. The study delves into the advantages of BIM in promoting effective stakeholder management, communication, and collaboration during the planning stage of projects in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.
