Abstract

With the continuous progress of the time, technology is also developing rapidly, among which Building Information Modeling (BIM) has also become a hot topic in prefabricated constructions. Previous research has made it clear that BIM can promote the development of prefabricated construction. However, in practical applications, BIM technology has not been well developed in prefabricated construction. In order to find out the obstacles to the development of BIM technology in China's prefabricated construction, and identify the relationship between obstacles, this study identified 20 obstacles through literature review. This study used the Decision-making Test and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) model to get the importance of each obstacle and the causality between them, and provides a solution to the development of BIM technology in China to promote the development of BIM technology in new construction methods.

Highlights

In the 1980s, with the proposal of building energy efficiency, green buildings are gradually emerging in China
The appearance of prefabricated construction conforms to the requirements of green building, which embodies the advantages of green building
From the above calculation results, it can be seen that the conservative industry culture and resistance from client most likely to be affected by other factors, and this factor has the greatest obstacle to the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in prefabricated construction

Summary

Introduction

In the 1980s, with the proposal of building energy efficiency, green buildings are gradually emerging in China. The appearance of prefabricated construction conforms to the requirements of green building, which embodies the advantages of green building. It has the advantages of energy-saving, environmental protection, material saving, reduction of labour and so on [2]. In order to face the urgent needs of all parts of the country to transform and upgrade to the modernization of the construction industry, the state and industry have successively issued relevant guidelines and policies. Since 2018, China's prefabricated construction market has grown rapidly
