This paper provides a brief review of the new Building Information Models (BIM) technology in Construction Industry. BIM was found to be a helpful tool to be used in construction activities with the ability to store all information in just one digital model and allows collaboration among different professionals involved in a project. This tool allows collaboration of the different disciplines involved in a construction project to collaboratively working on different activities such as that of architectural works, structural works, mechanical works, electrical works, and sanitary or plumbing works. This tool answers the difficulty of some inexperienced clients who faced the difficulty in figuring out the desired 3D drawing of the project. It also allows project managers and owners to determine the corresponding accomplishment in each number of days with actual cost spent on the project.
