Abstract

BIM, stands for Building Information Modeling. It is the natural evolution following CAD, Computer Aid 
Design. While the methods used by CAD or BIM lead to the development of technical data used for the 
construction of an urban or architectural Project, BIM transcends into the idea management system in 
which information technology plays an important role as a means the conception, design, construction, 
management and overall, the Project management of the construction sector. Although management systems applied to the construction industry have had signifcant progress globally in recent years, its presence in Colombia is incipient and except for some rare examples which begin to have leadership thanks to its high level of competitiveness, widespread resistance to change is maintained. How to overcome the lethargy in the management of projects in the construction sector? Has as objective the approach of strategies to accelerate technology transfer BIM since the hypothesis on increasing levels of competition from the implementation of information systems technology management. The paradigm shift includes strategies where BIM as a teaching or understanding of the 
construction management can lead to elevated quality indicators in the building sector.
