BIM is a relatively new technology in an industry typically slow to adopt changes, especially in Portugal. The present paper aims to frame the international implementation of BIM in order to propose a roadmap to spread the use of BIM methodologies in Portugal in the next decade. %K BIM %K Roadmap %K International Implementation %K Strategies and Actions %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=67253
