A Bibliometric Review of BIM in Prefabricated Construction Environment
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
Building information modeling (BIM) technology advancements and applications in the prefabricated construction (PC) environment contribute to increased productivity and innovation in the construction industry. Relevant studies have either concentrated on the application of BIM in the PC environment at specific stages, or on the integration of numerous developing technologies. This paper uses a bibliometric analysis method to systematically conduct data mining and quantitative analysis on 380 papers about BIM in the PC environment in the Scopus database from 2013 to 2022. The overall state and predominant fields of research are then provided by regions, main authors, top journals, and disciplines. The co-citation clustering analysis of keywords is further performed. Information interoperability and decision support, design optimization, and technological integration are all current study topics. Future BIM and PC development will integrate with other new digital technologies, streamlining the integration process and enhancing productivity. With the integration of BIM and PC, this paper will be informative for academics and promote the digital revolution of the construction industry.
