The construction industry is keeping up with the modern digitalization we are experiencing in the 21st century. In the construction industry, the technological breakthrough is known as BIM (Building Information Modeling). It is a process of modeling the building environment in digital space with emphasis on the information about the building.

If the goals of BIM are successfully followed, the result will be a well-structured database of the building. With BIM the client will get an organized, better defined and well-coordinated project, which will be useful from the construction phase, through the operating phase for the maintenance purposes and thill the demolition phase of the structure.

BIM approach enables several advantages, due to which the technology is being implemented around the world:

• Clear representation of construction elements that will enable the client an unambiguous view of the designed structures.
• Greater coordination of the project and consequently fewer unforeseen complications during construction and operation/maintenance phase
• Better defined bill of quantities
  Longer lasting digital project information compared to a printed copy
• Intuitive and fast accessible project information, especially if compared to searching through an archived paper copy of the project

The additional work required from the designer for implementing BIM on the project, benefits the client with enhanced understanding of the designed structure and contributes to a better coordinated and cost-optimized project.
