Building and operation of construction supply chain information integration management mode based on building information model

Abstract

Construction supply chain management and Building Information Model are emerging management tools and transformative technology tools in the construction fields. Information is the core elements of Building Information Mode, and it's also the foundation of construction supply chain operation. The paper attempts to apply Building Information Mode to construction supply chain information integration management, and build a BIM-based construction supply chain information integration management model. Then the paper discuss the operation of the model from the integrated perspective of design, procurement, construction and operation, and giving the analysis of advantages of BIM-based construction supply chain information integration management at last. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
