Abstract

China’s construction sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation, with Building Information Modeling (BIM) advancing from a design-focused tool to a lifecycle-oriented management platform. This study examined BIM applications in exhibition center, metro station and industrial park projects through a comparative analysis of operational, quality and schedule management dimensions. Using a combined approach of literature review and case analysis, the paper compares application goals and technical strategies across distinct engineering contexts. Results show that BIM supports spatial and asset integration for efficient facility operation, enables object-based quality tracking and early risk detection in complex underground construction, and enhances scheduling accuracy and resource coordination through 4D simulation. These findings confirm that BIM is evolving toward scenario-specific, full-process solutions. The study offers both theoretical insight and practical guidance for the digital upgrading of construction project management.
