This chapter provides to a theoretical analysis of the optimization that building information modeling (BIM) can bring to the cost of a tramway project. It highlights in the results of research on the integration of BIM into railway projects by showing the benefits and trends of adoption. The chapter hopes to open the door to industrial applications and promote the integration of BIM into tram projects. It proposes future research tracks in this theme, including the possibility of studying a real case. The chapter considers the tramway as a mode of public transport: generally, they have urban steel wheels running on railways, in its own site, equipped with rails, which is installed with electric traction powered by a catenary. It discusses the literature the possible optimization of the costs of a tramway by integrating BIM from the beginning of the construction project and throughout its life cycle.
