Smart city term has strong relationship with the integration of information systems. The paper investigates information systems, particularly building information modeling, BIM as part of the smart city term, and attempts at linking BIM to the construction process and its related tasks and activities. A smart method that effectively utilizes information systems in the form of building information modeling, BIM and the construction process, is investigated. Building BIM model becomes vital for the designers in conceptual designing; collaborative design and communication between all designers are essential during these design phases. Multidisciplinary model is the first step for the designers of different disciplines to communicate and collaborate in such matter. After creating the multidisciplinary model in conceptual designing, is it enough to use into the construction process? Are there more details that should be added into the model? The paper attempts at shed more light on the obstacles faced and functions needed to use the conceptual model of BIM into the construction process. The paper explores the details required to the BIM models to be utilised into the construction process. A main methodological tool is applied by synthesizing and extracting from the literature review of related research areas. The secondary data lead to certain categories of BIM details that have to be applied by the BIM users after the conceptual design phases. The paper concludes to solid results and certain recommendations during creating BIM model. © 2018 IEEE.
