The civil engineering domain is going through changes that require the handling of increasingly complex processes. Still, more often, processes can no longer be handled intuitively without explicit description. Even the process description in a textual form very often no longer provides information of sufficient quality to deal with the process. For that reason, the process modeling methods that use graphical notation are more widely used also in the civil engineering domain. Using such process modeling methods brings many advantages. These advantages include that the knowledge of the process is easier to transfer, identified activities of the process can be easier to measure, it is easier to define data that are required or produced by activities, or possible decisions in the process are explicitly shown. The wider use of process modeling methods within the civil engineering domain began with the implementation of building information modeling principles in the civil engineering domain, especially in the AECO industry. The need to design the entire process of collecting, storing, transmitting, and processing BIM data requires to design and describe the entire BIM process. This paper presents an overview of commonly used process modeling methods and their applications in the civil engineering domain. The most commonly used standard for process modeling worldwide is the Business Process Model and Notation and this standard is also commonly used in the civil engineering domain. It can be expected that in connection with the development of the civil engineering domain towards the usage of digital twins and modeling of the built environment, processes will be more complex and will require more sophisticated process modeling methods.
