Abstract: For years, the European Commission has focused on the production process of the construction industry, because this branch is included in the critical conditions for the European capitalism development. As such, it has focused on implementing modernization policies and increasing the productive capacity of construction companies and optimising the technical outcome for the benefit of its funds and the European society. For this reason, its benchmark has been focused on saving through the BIM practice of the unnecessary expenditure paid by funds that finance the construction of public works to meet more social needs. The author researches the transaction of the EU construction branch from craft to industrial production process using BIM. The subject of the research is approached methodologically through the examination of studies in the field of the construction branch. Announcements and Directives issued by the EU have been taken into account in comparison with national law and practices applied and used by individual Member States, especially by Hellenic public authorities, in order to identify why the EU insists on the use of digital building (3D), schedule management (4D) and cost management (5D) applying the productive process of construction public works. However, it is proven that the necessary incentive to increase BIM application usability does not seem to be perceived, since BIM applicability is not widespread compared to the executed construction volume.
