Introduction: As a research focus in the construction industry in recent years, prefabricated structures have advantages such as environmentally friendly and economical and so on, but it also increases the complexity of design and construction and the strict requirements for accuracy. Methods: Aiming at the shortages of prefabricated structures in design and construction, one solution is creating a local parameterized component database. Collecting the information of the required prefabricated components firstly, and based on this, we put forward a method of creating local prefabricated component database, including secondary development on API and customize parameterized component database, which based on the template file. Results and discussion: Combine BIM technology and prefabricated structures better to support the development of prefabricated structures.
