BIM technology is actively developing around the world. Also there is an active extension of using BIM technology in Russian construction industry. However, the level of the development of BIM technology in Russia is still quite low. Due to it, the main purpose of the thesis was to identify the reasons of the low level of BIM technology development in Russia and to determine the applicability of the BIM technology in Russia. To identify the reasons of the low level of BIM technology development in Russia, the basic information about BIM technology and its development from its occurrence, the basic advantages and disadvantages of using BIM were studied. To determine the applicability of the BIM technology in Russia, the current practical needs of normal Design and Construction Company in Russia with the BIM abilities were compared. In this thesis, the reasons of the low level of BIM development in Russia were identified. The main problems of BIM practical application in Design and Construction Company in Russia were also identified and recommendations for the further development were given. The ability to meet the current practical needs of normal Design and Construction Company with BIM technology was particular detail analysed and partially confirmed. The thesis could be recommended for companies which are in the beginning of the BIM technology introduction process
