Application of BIM technology in whole life cycle management of assembled buildings

This paper explores the application of BIM technology in the whole life cycle management of assembled buildings and investigates its role in improving construction efficiency, reducing costs and optimizing project management. The application of BIM technology in each stage is analyzed using principal component analysis and structural equation modeling methods. It was found that introducing BIM technology can significantly improve the efficiency of the design, production, construction and later operation and maintenance of assembly buildings. Specifically, in the design stage, BIM technology enhances the design efficiency through collaborative design; in the production stage, the production process is optimized through information management; in the construction stage, the 3D visualization tool of BIM reduces the construction errors and improves the construction efficiency; and in the operation and maintenance stage, the data management function of BIM technology improves the efficiency of the operation and maintenance of the building. The results show that applying BIM technology can reduce costs by about 20% over the entire project cycle. The conclusion indicates that BIM technology plays a vital role in the whole life cycle management of assembled buildings, which not only improves the efficiency, but also significantly reduces the cost, and is of great significance in promoting the modernization of the construction industry.
