• Digitalization represents a global megatrend that is leading to fundamental changes in numerous areas of society, technology, and production – including the construction industry (AECO, architecture, engineering, construction and operation). A key element in the digital transformation of the construction industry is building information modeling (BIM). At its core, BIM aims at the holistic, consistent acquisition, management, and exchange of all relevant building information based on digital models. As an integral working method, BIM has a fundamental impact on design, construction, and operational processes and thus addresses all the stakeholders involved in the lifecycle of buildings. Even though digital construction and operation is not yet a standard in practice, BIM is developing rapidly and is increasingly being applied in the construction industry. This chapter introduces the BIM method and the link to geospatial information modeling (GIM). The basics and related processes are explained, and use cases and examples are presented. Standardization aspects are dealt with, and the state of implementation at national and international levels is outlined. One focus lies on the complementary to GIM and approaches of BIM-GIM interoperability.
