Abstract: this paper describes building lifecycle modeling process in general. The basic stages of building lifecycle and its connections are pointed and building representation models at each lifecycle stages are described. Correspondingly, we suggest distinguishing the information types of the representation models. Furthermore, the list of common problems to solve during the building lifecycle modeling is presented. In addition, we have provided the analysis of current state-of-the-art solutions for the building lifecycle modeling for the sake of extraction typical information types are used by different tools. As a result we suggest a hierarchical decomposition of computer aided tools which are used for the building lifecycle modeling
