Abstract: Over the past decade the construction industry is slowly marching toward the implementation of Information Technology(IT) in its industry and is very slow in when compared to other industries such as production & manufacturing industries, nevertheless the argument is that implementation of IT in construction is very hard due to its complex structure of various segments in construction industry, but somehow with the advent of Building Information Modelling(BIM) the paradigm of construction industry has been changes and is like never before has been its application benefits it encroached in the construction industry right from project inception stage to the commissioning & handover of the project. The application of BIM ha gained a lot of attention across the globe in architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) sector The BIM has become the best technique for architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industries to decrease the project cost, increase the productivity and even improve the quality, accelerates the progress of the project. Even many companies are implementing BIM into their consortium and even developing the tools of BIM by which they can expand their business by far more effectively and efficiently. This paper is mainly intend to give on how much more this BIM can be effectively implemented by using cloud computing throughout the construction projects right from inception to handover and its benefits, applications and implementation process in detail in this paper.
