Promotion of the Application of BIM in China—A BIM-Based Model for Construction Material Recycling

The recovery rate of construction materials is only 5% in China, which will lead to environmental and economic problems. Researchers from other countries have recognized the potential building information modelling (BIM) optimizing material recycling. However, previous research did not take whole life cycle into consideration was practical enough. In this research, a questionnaire conducted find out how waste disposed projects. Then, existing results were analyzed apply BIM whole-life-cycle disposal materials. According questionnaire, landfill most common way dispose China; besides this, almost no projects use Hence, BIM-based dynamic recycling model proposed. Information management materials, demolition planning, all combined for purpose application BIM, thus developing system achieve higher rates sustainability. More positive measures should be taken deal with problem waste; if not, more problems follow.
