Abstract
The information modeling model can be considered as a virtual process that includes all aspects, disciplines and systems of a facility in a single virtual model and allows all project stakeholders to use the processes traditionally cooperate more accurately and efficiently.

This study investigated the factors related to building information modeling affecting the performance by reviewing the literature. The literature review showed that factors related to information modeling can affect the performance of construction projects by saving time and money, improving teamwork, better data management, and better understanding of the project. Improving the ability to build, visualize, productivity, quality, and accuracy. and ... to affect . Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a set of technologies, methods and policies that enable multiple stakeholders to collaboratively create a facility in the design space. It is an intelligent 3D model-based process, which usually requires a BIM implementation plan for owners, architects, engineers and contractors or construction professionals. Building Information Modeling or BIM can be used throughout the project life cycle to create clarity and efficiency in building construction .
