Abstract
As construction projects becoming increasingly large and complex, the traditional methods of schedule management largely undermine the improvement of management level. However, the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and scheduling information can help maintain control of scheduling goals and enhance project performance. This paper proposes a BIM-based construction schedule management framework and establishes a model to integrate scheduling information in life cycle. Moreover, information retrieval and integration and core supports for realizing the model are also examined. The study extends the existing research of construction schedule management, and can be used as guidance for BIM-based schedule management practice.
