With the development of domestic architectural design field, BIM has been initially applied to the construction engineering industry, and shows great commercial value. However, the current application status of BIM still has great limitations, and the economic and social benefits that BIM-led revolution in the field of construction engineering should create are only the tip of the iceberg.

In recent ten years, the building information model technology has achieved a lot of application results in the field of building engineering in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and other countries and regions. Many forward-looking and strategic construction enterprises in China began to think about how to apply BIM technology to improve their project management level and core competitiveness. The greatest value of BIM technology application lies in getting through the whole life cycle of the building.
