Research on building deconstruction based on BIM technology

Abstract

This paper delves into the revolutionary role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in building deconstruction and its profound implications for sustainable development. Conventional demolition methods often neglect considerations of material reuse and environmental ramifications. BIM emerges as a versatile solution, offering sophisticated analytical tools that amplify efficiency, safety, and material traceability throughout the deconstruction process. In this paper, the lifecycle applications of BIM are further explored. Traversing from the planning stage to material handling and recycling, the important contribution of BIM to the circular economy is highlighted. Despite being in the nascent stages of adoption for building demolition, this paper posits that comprehensive integration of BIM holds the promise to fundamentally transform the construction sector, ensuring its alignment with sustainability objectives. Case studies and real-world applications are meticulously analysed to furnish empirical evidence corroborating these assertions, shedding light on the practical and environmental advantages of leveraging BIM in deconstruction.
