Building information modeling (BIM) creates new opportunities not only in design and construction life cycle's phases, but also in operation of buildings. One of the most promising fields is historical building information modeling (HBIM). In the article areas of BIM's application during inspection and monitoring of timber strutures of historical buildings are outlined. Creation of 3D model of objects with complex geometry and structures with variable cross-sections is described. Questions of early warning system's creation during structural health monitoring (SHM) of buildings are considered. Works of domestic and international authors are analyzed. Areas that deserve further investigation are determined. They include integration of BIM with geographic information systems (GIS) and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, creation of database of defects of buildings and structures.
