Abstract

This article examines the application and development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industries of China and Australia. The visual, coordination, simulation, and optimization characteristics of BIM provide a foundation for project management. In China, BIM has been widely adopted in major engineering projects, but it still faces challenges such as inactive design institutes, inconsistent data standards, and a shortage of BIM talent. BIM usage in Australia is relatively low, partially due to the lack of government enforcement. It is recommended to promote wider BIM application in various fields through training, resource support, establishing industry standards, and providing incentives. In summary, BIM technology holds significant potential for the future development of the construction industry, but overcoming various challenges is necessary to achieve its maximum benefits.
