Research on the Application of BIM Technology in the Whole Process Cost Management of Construction Project

Abstract

Cost management, with the information technology used frequently, is the most important link in the process of engineering construction. It is, however, no longer able to adapt to the trend of information technology development by using traditional work methods. The whole process cost focuses on the whole construction process and the overall interests of the project. BIM technology, as an electronic information modeling, provides an efficient information exchange platform, on which the cost management work can be connected at any stages in series with the result of repetitive work reduced and work efficiency increased. The improvement of work efficiency and way can be realized by applying the suitable BIM software to each stage of cost management can improve work efficiency. The paper studies specifically the integration of the whole process cost management on construction engineering. There is a commercial residential project in the case part in the use of relevant BIM software to realize the systematic collaborative management for the whole process of engineering cost. On the basis of the transfer of the cost data to the whole process of construction by using the BIM software, it concludes the route and method of the whole process cost management in the use of relevant software.
