This study investigates the factors influencing dispute negotiation strategies (DNSs) in building information modeling (BIM)–based construction projects. Data were collected through surveys conducted with BIM professionals and analyzed using normalized mean analysis, Kruskal-Wallis 𝐻 test, overlap analysis, rank agreement factor, confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and partial least-squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal 10 of 12 critical factors influence DNS across different stakeholders. Furthermore, unlike conventional construction projects, goodwill trust, contractual control, and contractual coordination do not significantly influence DNS in BIM-based construction projects. Additionally, losses associated with project stoppages must be removed to facilitate bilateral lock-in in moderating the relationship between DNS and contractual coordination as well as contractual control. These findings suggest a paradigm shift away from rigid contractual frameworks, favoring flexible, data-driven, and collaborative DNS in BIM-based construction projects. Nevertheless, the originality of this study lies in its investigation of DNS in BIM-based construction projects.
