BIM Technology Empowers the Digital Transformation of Smart Construction

Abstract

With the continuous advancement of digitalization and intelligentization in the construction industry, BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology has become an important tool for promoting intelligent construction and industrial digital transformation. Through its visualization, parametric, and information-based features, BIM provides data support and a collaborative platform for the design, construction, and operation and maintenance of buildings throughout their entire lifecycle. However, the deep integration of BIM technology into intelligent construction in China is still insufficient, especially in terms of collaboration with new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain, where a complete system has not yet been formed. This paper analyzes the key paths for BIM technology to empower intelligent construction from the three stages of design, construction, and operation and maintenance, and explores its support system construction mechanism in digital transformation. Research shows that BIM is not only a core tool for building information management, but also an important foundation for promoting the transformation of the construction industry from experience-driven to data-driven, and from isolated operations to collaborative construction. Through technological integration and organizational change, BIM will further promote intelligent decision-making, intelligent construction, and intelligent operation and maintenance in the construction industry, providing new impetus for the high-quality development of China's construction industry.
