In the recent years, the construction industry has inherited great achievements from the rapid development of science and technology to improve labor productivity, increase the scientific quality, reduce risks and increase the efficiency of construction investment. Especially BIM applications are becoming an inevitable trend of the construction industry in the country thanks to the advantages of science, technology, economics and benefits in construction management. Vietnam is a developing country, so the construction industry has been and will continue to play a very important role in the country. Therefore, the application of BIM for the construction industry is also indispensable to reduce the risk and increase the efficiency of construction investment. However, the BIM application for the construction of irrigation and hydropower projects is still limited by the peculiarity and difficulty of human resource understanding on BIM technology. This paper presents some research results on application of BIM technology for the design consultant on the irrigation and hydropower projects in Vietnam.
