ABSTRACT

In recent years, despite the rapid development of China's construction industry, the management efficiency is relatively low and the overall management level is relatively backward. By analyzing the reasons, if we want to improve the management level of China's construction industry, we must carry out the whole life cycle management, and BIM technology is the key to realize the whole life cycle management of buildings. As a new type of intelligent information technology, BIM is leading a historic technological innovation in the construction industry. At present, BIM technology is widely used in various fields of the construction industry. This paper systematically expounds the application of BIM technology in the whole life cycle of construction projects, including planning and design, construction, operation and maintenance, etc. With the application and deepening of information technology in the construction industry, scholars and safety managers are trying to seek building safety management methods based on information technology, which is represented by building information model (BIM). At present, how to apply BIM technology throughout the entire construction process is one of the main problems faced by the current BIM application. The research of creating, managing and sharing the whole life cycle information of new construction projects has become an important research direction and development trend in the field of construction engineering.
