Abstract:
China has actively explored new ways to innovate AEC industries starting with prefabricated buildings in recent years. Under the scheme of traditional construction management, high error rate, low efficiency, and poor integration of managing tasks and information during each phase of the construction process are negatively impacting the safety and quality of the building, which is caused by lacking enough collaboration and interaction. Characteristics of prefabricated buildings are being focused on"Standardized Design, Factory Production, Assembly Construction, Integrated Decoration, Information Management, and Intelligent Application". Based on the characteristics of prefabricated building and under the EPC general contracting mode, beginning with the operation and management process from each phase of the project(design, production, and construction), this paper is focusing on finding a more timely, accurately, efficiently, and standardized digital construction and information management method with the adoption of BIM technology.
