Abstract
In view of the imperfect supply chain management of prefabricated building, inadequate information interaction among the participating subjects, and untimely information updates, the integration and development of BIM technology plus the supply chain of prefabricated building is analyzed, and the problems existing in the current supply chain and the application of BIM technology at various stages are elaborated. By analyzing the structural composition of the prefabricated building supply chain, an information sharing platform framework for prefabricated building supply chain based on BIM was established, which serves as a valuable reference for managing prefabricated building supply chains. BIM technology aligns well with assembly construction, laying a solid foundation for their synergistic development and offering novel research avenues for the prefabricated building supply chain.
