Abstract

In recent years, building information modeling (BIM) has been the focus in the construction industry and an attractive topic in the construction management research field. However, no research concentrated on the analysis of the BIM research progress in Chinese industry on basis of quantitative statistical analysis of first-tire Chinese journal publications in the last decade. Based on the analysis of BIM papers published in Chinese first-tier journals from 2008 to 2017, this paper explores the research progress in terms of the change of number of publications, the research method adopted, stage in the life-cycle analyzed, and type of projects studied. It is found that in the 10 years’ period, the average growth rate of BIM journal papers is 63.84%, with 90.55% of them being published in the later 5 years. Case study is the most popular research method. There are more BIM papers concentrating on the analysis of construction and design stages, than on the analysis of life-cycle and operation stages. Building projects and railway projects are the most attractive projects to BIM researchers. The findings are valuable for the Chinese researchers to understand more clearly about the research trends of BIM topic in China and conduct research on this topic in the future.
