Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle which involves representing a design as virtual objects, which carry their geometry, relations and attributes. BIM design media allows an extraction of different views from a building model for drawing production and other uses. All the different views are automatically synchronized in the sense that the objects are all of a consistent size, location, specification – since each object instance is defined only once, just as in reality. BIM uses 3D, real-time, dynamic building modelling software to increase productivity in design and construction. BIM process co-ordinates products, project and process information throughout new product introduction, production, service and retirement among the various players, internal and external, who must collaborate to bring the concept to life. Universities have to become the initiators of the promotion of BIM ideas not only to the designers and engineers, but much wider public than at present. Universities have to seek contacts/relationships with a view of developing joint actions with industry and enterprises. Particular attention should be paid to Small and Medium sized Enterprises as they account for an enormous part of economic growth and could be the places where the innovations could be introduced easier. There is an evident role for universities to play in lifelong learning and continuing education thought them to offer possibilities of companies to increase competitiveness, productivity and efficiency, total costs estimation, and to become concurrent on the global market.
