Abstract:
As an emerging technology, BIM can help architects and contractors to better design and construction. In 2008, American University Facilities Management Department began to explore their own campus in the use of BIM, and the established their own BIM standards. This paper introduces the four U.S. universities (Los Angeles Community College District, Indiana University, Princeton University, and MIT) of BIM standards. These standards or guidelines, generally divided into BIM goals, requirements, implementation of processes and deliverables of the requirements of several parts, and most of them have established their own file-sharing software and hardware development platform. This paper aims to draw on the success of American universities implementing BIM experience for our university infrastructure sector and the construction industry standard for implementing BIM some useful reference.
