To get a clear overview, companies that use BIM and companies that do not use BIM have been interviewed. This is to create a breadth in the selection and empiricism. The results of the study show that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of using BIM. How companies that use BIM work with it during the construction phases are different and there is no right or wrong way on how the models should be used. The results show that BIM is the future of the construction industry, but that there are things to develop with the models to make the processes more efficient. There are obstacles to why not all construction companies choose to use BIM and the majority answered that it is expensive licenses and that education is required that entails costs.
