The article examines the relevance of integrating BIM technologies into the operations of Ukrainian construction enterprises as a strategic tool for digitalisation amid the country’s post-war recovery. It is substantiated that digital information modelling provides a comprehensive renewal of project management approaches, contributes to more effective decision-making, improves transparency in stakeholder interaction, and facilitates cost optimisation throughout the construction process. The evolution of the “Building Information Modelling” concept in international practice is analysed, and its role in transforming managerial and design-related activities in construction is outlined. Modern approaches to defining the essence of BIM are clarified, along with its core characteristics. Key problems and barriers hindering the large-scale implementation of BIM in the construction sector are identified, including insufficient investment resources, shortage of qualified professionals, low standardisation, and weak institutional support. An enterprise-level BIM implementation algorithm is proposed, accounting for technical, organisational, and economic factors. The approach also includes piloting on selected projects, developing digital platform infrastructure, and building a regulatory and legal framework. The article explores the potential of applying BIM in the reconstruction and modernisation of damaged infrastructure facilities funded by international aid, particularly under World Bank and EU support programmes. It is demonstrated that the adoption of BIM technologies will strengthen the competitiveness of Ukraine’s construction sector as it aligns with global digital governance standards. The study also highlights the promising research direction of integrating BIM with artificial intelligence tools, which can support process automation, reduce errors, and improve the quality of managerial decisions in construction.
