Exploring Key Elements and Performance of BIM and VR Technologies in the Project Management of Assembled Buildings

Abstract

The construction industry is the material basis for national economic development. Since the reform and opening up, the construction industry in China has been in a state of continuous expansion to promote economic and social development. However, the traditional mode of building construction in China is rather crude, which not only fails to meet the needs of rapid urban development, but also causes serious environmental pollution and resource shortage. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct relevant technological updates and industrial restructuring to solve these problems, so as to achieve sustainable development. With the advantages of energy saving, low carbon, and short construction cycle, assembled buildings have become a new direction for the transformation of the construction industry. However, China’s assembled buildings are still in the promotion stage, and the technical level is relatively backward. Especially in the construction process, there is a lack of management mechanisms adapted to assembled buildings. Hence, some new technologies need to be introduced to promote the development of assembled construction in China. In recent years, with the increasing popularity of assembled construction in China, the technology of assembled construction has also been improving. Also, the interface between assembled construction and modern technology has become more and more obvious. In particular, the application of BIM and VR technologies has been of great help to the development of assembled buildings. To be specific, the combination of these two technologies allows for better control of all aspects of the construction site, thus making the construction project easier to manage. In addition, the application of BIM and VR technologies can not only improve the efficiency of project management, but also improve the quality of construction of assembled buildings, thereby reducing the environmental pollution caused by construction. As a result, the application of BIM and VR technologies has greatly promoted the development of project management of assembled buildings. This paper integrates BIM and VR technologies to study and discuss the key elements and performance of the application of project management for assembled buildings.
