BIM Research Topics and Progress in the Construction Field: Analysis Based on Knowledge Mapping

Abstract

The CNKI database and the WOS database are used as data retrieval sources for research literature related to BIM technology at home and abroad. Based on scientometrics and bibliometrics, through the analysis of keywords co-occurrence analysis, the hotspots and frontiers of BIM technology research in the construction field are quantitatively analysed, revealing the evolutionary trend of BIM technology research in the construction field. The research finds that BIM technology research in the construction field at home and abroad has roughly gone through three stages. Based on the combing of research frontiers and research hotspots, and analysis of their evolution trends, future research on BIM technology in the field of architecture will focus on the following directions: BIM technology is combined with the Internet of Things and cloud computing to conduct research, focusing on the application of BIM technology in risk management and the application of VR virtual reality technology.
