*BIM adoption between the years 2011 and 2020.*

BIM changes the way architects think and design. In the last several years the use of this technology has grown in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry and sustainability.

**Figure 1** shows the variation in the use of BIM by designers and other construction experts between the years 2011 and 2020, where the percentage of users in 2011 was (13%) and in 2020 (73%). It is noted that the percentage of BIM users, who are designers and other construction experts, has increased over time [6].
