This article investigates the main gains and difficulties encountered in the adoption and use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) as an assisting tool for project cost management in the Brazilian architecture and engineering offices. The study was carried out based on a systematic literature review covering the analysis of 34 articles published between 2011 and 2021. There was a growing interest in this topic, with publications in congress proceedings being more frequent than in journals. The Case Study and Design Science Research (DSR) were the most adopted research methods, and the software Revit® was the most used tool. The main gains listed for the budgeting processes of BIM projects were the automatic quantitative extraction, the better visualization provided by the virtual model, and the ease of testing constructive hypotheses. On the other hand, the most cited obstacle was the difficulty of adopting a level of detail and quality of the model suited to the budget preparation. In particular, regarding the SINAPI cost reference system, the need for adaptations was identified to better integrate this system with BIM. The main conclusion is that BIM can significantly contribute to greater assertiveness in budgeting processes if modeling guidelines are pre-established.
