Information Technologies are lieders in the fast industrial development. Virtual Prototyping, as relatively young technology, is combination of Virtual Reality and computer technologies with digital prototypes as result. It represents original's true copy in the real world, providing more efficient models' testing, prior construction. With it's implementation in the Construction Industry all the work becomes cheaper, faster, safer, environmentaly friendly and more efficient in comparison to the traditional ones. The paper's primary purpose is brief introduction to modern technologies towards which the future construction industry strives. Description of the basic terms is being followed by the explanation of main characteristics and need for the Virtual Prototyping implementation in the Architectural, Engineering & Construction Industry. Virtual Prototyping tools and real-life applications have been stated as well. At the end, limitations and possible problems are mentioned. Therefore, link between Virtual Prototyping and Architectural, Engineering & Construction Industry is created.
