The aim of this thesis was to develop a basic application for displaying BIM models via a web browser
in order to facilitate access to the models and improve communication between those involved in
construction projects.
The thesis presents the basics of BIM technologies, the history of BIM development and the importance
of the IFC standard for interoperability and Open BIM. The web technologies used to develop the viewer
are HTML, CSS, JavaScript and library three.js.
Application testing results and suggestions for further research include an in-depth analysis of the IFC
schema, improvements to the visual appearance of the application and investigations into server
performance and web publishing. The thesis presents a different approach to the use of BIM process in
construction and thus to the advancement of construction industry in Slovenia and suggests the
integration of other types of BIM technologies into curricula.
