Abstract

In modern society, civil engineering is an essential element in construction, which has a great influence on project quality. The increasing demands and complexities, along with the trend of international collaboration, pose significant challenges. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance the quality and efficiency of civil engineering projects. This study examines the application of BIM in civil engineering project management, focusing on risk management, quality management, and cost and process management. The research spotlights the obstacles and implementation strategies regarding BIM adoption, including the lack of technicians conforming to unified standards, the need for changes in the management model and process, and the defective information - sharing and collaboration mechanisms. To address these challenges, the paper proposes several optimization strategies, which include developing high-quality technical talent through multi-level training systems, fostering a cohesive team with effective incentives, promoting management model and process innovation, and improving information sharing and collaboration mechanisms. Establishing a unified data exchange platform and enhancing BIM software interoperability are also recommended to facilitate better collaboration and promote healthy industry development.
