Based on the actual demand of BIM application in engineering project management, a new integrated solution and framework for engineering project management supported by BIM was advanced. Web-based system for project integrated management was developed through associating BIM entity with distributed information and information querying. With seamless integration with 4D construction management system, Bi-directional links between BIM model and management information were built, enabling BIM-based engineering project management. This research provide a new method and technology for applying BIM in engineering construction, application results proved the feasibility and effectiveness of the solution and system.

In last ten years, building information modeling (BIM) has been rapid development. However, there are still few technologies and applications to support BIM data storage and sharing during building lifecycle. Therefore, a clouding-computing-based BIM data integration and service technology is proposed by this research. It adopts Hbase (a kind of NoSql database) to store massive BIM data on distributed nodes, which are integrated virtually by a clouding computing platform, so that all participants could get their required BIM data with a uniform interface. As one of its most import modules, a semi-structured BIM database is described in detail in this paper. By combing with attributes of Hbase and IFC model, the database addresses many problems, such as space waste due to sparse of IFC model, and lots of join calculations during information query. It's also more efficient and extensible than existed BIM databases. As a conclusion, this database sets a good foundation for clouding-computing-based BIM data integration and service technology, and is valuable for BIM application.

Large amount of information in construction projects is still stored in unstructured documents nowadays. This research focuses on the correlation mechanism between unstructured information with highly structured BIM model, realizing BIM-based retrieval of unstructured information and improving the using efficiency. Title-based and content-based automatic correlation mechanisms are provided, capable of searching correlated entities through selected document, calculating correlation index and ranking and establishing the correlation after users' confirmation. A case-study shows that if entities are well named and expressions in the document match the model, this method is able to recall all the correlated entities, ranking at the top of the list. Correlated document can also be queried dynamically based on BIM model.
