BIM technology skill competition is a new term that was introduced to the building industry in recent years and constitutes an inevitable outcome in the development of the information technology applied to the building industry. Comprehensive applications of the BIM technology will have immeasurably influence in the progress of science and technology in the building industry, significantly improve the degree of integration of building engineering, and bring enormous benefits to the development of the building industry. In the paper, based on the achievements of the BIM technology-based skill competition by the students of Guangzhou City Construction Vocational College during recent years, the mutual influence and promotion between the BIM technology-based skill competition and conventional teaching were analyzed, and suggestions were proposed for the integration of those two aspects in achieving further mastery.
