A distributed BIM-based engineering project management information system design and analysis of advantage

In modern times, information technology developes very quickly. Architecture engineering construction industry has gradually been revolutionized from traditional ways to technology-based methods. As the engineering construction project is very complex,advanced tools are required to assist finishing a project. Building information modeling is disseminated to construction industry,as an instrument to help collaboration and co-working. The practical effectiveness of BIM is mainly in architecture design, while BIM can be used as a tool in other parts of construction industry such as virtual construction,time-dependent control and maintainance management and even the lifecycle management. This paper mainly presents five main parts and functions designed of information system based on BIM, and analyses the strengths of the system It aims to demonstrate how engineering project overcome traditional barriers and physical distribution with the development of information technology across the whole construction lifecycle.
