If the Czech Republic is to maintain its competitiveness with advanced economies and a stable economic growth, it cannot do without one of the most important sectors of the national economy - the construction industry. The support of national construction contracts, complying with building legislation, the favorable conditions for the operation of construction companies, a support for BIM must become the state’s priority; BIM is currently considered as a revolution in the construction industry. But the construction, as well as other industrial production, cannot be done without technically educated people. Although the demand for technical graduates has long outpaced the supply, the technical universities are unable to meet the needs of the labour market. In addition, the number of college technicians is declining each year. It is estimated that 70,000 workers are missing today in the Czech industry. The lack of technicians may have a very negative impact on GDP and the growth of the Czech economy. There are a number of reasons to not initiate the process of implementing BIM yet, but if the current trend is not reversed as soon as possible, the Czech Republic will become less competitive in the global economy and dependent on foreign knowledge and foreign technology.
