Lessons learned from case projects and enterprises where BIM was utilized

Abstract

Construction industry is pillar industry of national economy, however productivity in construction industry always stay at a lower level. BIM (Building information modeling) is an innovation idea and benchmarking technology which will have great impact on construction industry. However, implementation and practice of BIM is still in exploring and studying period in China. During this period, the organizations of construction project have some problems in construct model, sign contract, implement plan etc. Based on above reasons, survey and analysis guaranteeing successful factors of BIM implementation in construction project and relationship between BIM and business process reengineering. It has great theoretical and practical significance for BIM implementation and practice in China. Firstly, this paper introduces situation of low efficiency in the construction industry and necessity of survey and research. Then paper introduces research method and an overview of case projects and enterprises where BIM was utilized of this research study. Finally, analysis guaranteeing successful factors of BIM implementation in construction project and relationship between BIM and business process reengineering which provide a certain foundation for the further research of BIM. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
