Digitalization has become indispensable for many professions in today's world and it is more important than ever to keep up with technology. Many industries are very advanced in this respect. A new form of digitalization has also been making its way into the construction industry (since around 2003), albeit with some delay; we are talking about Building Information Modeling (BIM), which initially developed from technical drawing via 2D and 3D, to the above-mentioned building information model. BIM is one of the most important milestones in terms of digitalization in this industry. What sets BIM apart is the ability to create a digital building information model. The building is not only represented graphically but also provided with information and attributes that add value not only in planning but also in the execution and management phase of a building. From a BIM model, masses and quantities can be determined, process simulations can be created and an initial time frame defined. However, there are still some issues that need to be solved or improved; inadequate compatibility of the various software applications, missing standards, and norms, insufficient know-how, and the lack of concretization of the scope of a BIM model on the part of the client, to name just a few points. In the meantime, solution-oriented approaches have been found. Also, a management approach has recently emerged in the construction industry that reduces waste and increases added value: Lean Construction Management (LCM). It represents a new way of managing a construction site and results in the optimization of the construction process. LCM originated in the automotive industry, where it has led to continuous process improvement by reduction of waste. At the same time, an increase in production and thus in value-added was noted. This should also find its way into the construction industry. The question is how BIM and LCM can be profitably linked and interact with each other. The practical relevance is established in this thesis (chapter 5) based on a possible collaboration through the visualization of a LCM schedule in a BIM model.     «
