BIM concerns both the geometry, the relationship with space, geographical information, the quantities and properties of the components of a building or infrastructure (for example, details of door manufacturers or energy data of a piece of equipment). BIM can be used to illustrate the complete process of building, civil engineering, maintenance and even demolition (more materials are now recycled). Quantities of materials and shared properties can be easily extracted. Additionally, work scopes, component details, and sequences of construction activities can be isolated and defined.

BIM software is capable of achieving these improvements through representations of the parts and components that are being used in the construction of a building or civil infrastructure. Computer-assisted representation based on objects is a substantial change in the traditional elaboration based on vector representation.

Its use extends to project management.[7]​ Through modeling, a work team can generate

automatically and organized all the documentation relating to it, in addition to obtaining

integration with other disciplines and detecting conflicts between them. It also provides greater

precision in measurements and budgets, ease of file management and processing between

diverse agents, messaging, diverse process automation and mainly a substantial growth in collaboration.

Its use has also been described as a Virtual Teaching-Learning Environment that can be used for the development of transversal competencies in the field of Higher Education.[8]​.
