It should be quite possible to convert models saved in IGES 3D format (.iges, .igs) to plenty of other 3D model formats, including special BIM formats, such as Industry Foundation Classes files (.ifc). This can be mainly done with tools that deal with architecture and building modeling, for example FreeCAD.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned igs to ifc. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
