* BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a technology based on digital data used in construction, during all phases of the investment life cycle (planning, design, implementation and operation). In BIM technology, the main source of information is a 3D model, in which elements replicate in virtal reality elements with information about their physical and functional features (element properties).

BIM technology enables elimination of errors related to the lack of consistency of documentation, incorrect interpretation of design solutions, work on various data resources, which in the traditional approach (two-dimensional drawing documentation and accompanying descriptive documentation) are difficult to identify. BIM technology also allows for better communication and exchange of data between all participants of a given investment process, both at the global level: investor, designer, general contractor as well as local: architect, designers of individual industries.
