The basic tools for model building in F-theory are reviewed and applied to the construction of SU(5) models. The flux mechanism for gauge symmetry breaking and doublet triplet splitting is analysed. A short account for the gauge coupling unification and the role of flux and Kaluza-Klein thresholds is also given.
