Abstract In this study, degree of support of main BIM functions was analyzed and relative importance and priority were analyzed by drawing out selection factors for selecting proper BIM software per business process. Main contents are as follows. First of all, BIM functions introduced in overseas construction related companies were analyzed in order to analyze main functions and limits of the current main BIM software. In addition, BIM functions required in domestic construction companies were drawn out and level of support at present was analyzed. Next, after drawing out selection factors for selecting BIM software, level of importance and priority were analyzed. Selection factors were drawn out in layers of upper level factors and lower level factors. In case of errors in degree of importance in integration of upper level factors and lower level factors, easiness of modification and mutual connectivity between objects and between drawings and objects were turned out as the highest. Finally, subjects of BIM introduction were classified in aspects of construction companies, design companies, research institutes, and schools and degree of importance was analyzed. Construction companies and design companies showed importance of factors of usability aspect as the highest and factors of business issues aspect were shown as the lowest. In viewpoints of researchers of research institutes and schools, it was found out in sequence of functionality and usability aspects and importance of business issues aspects was shown relatively higher than construction companies and design companies.
