As a nation that is quickly developing, China’s construction industry faces a variety of issues. Despite the size and technical complexity of some Chinese projects, the old paper documents and two-dimensional drawing techniques are no longer adequate to meet demand. China’s construction sector has enormous potential. Therefore, effective digital technology and the best project management are crucial for the growth of China’s construction business. Throughout the whole life cycle of a construction project, including all phases of planning, design, building, operation, and maintenance, Building Information Modelling (BIM) can be used. This study intends to investigate the use of BIM in project management in China with a particular emphasis on how BIM impacts project design, construction, and operation. By analysing the successful cases of BIM in China’s project management, the prospect and development of BIM in China’s construction industry are discussed. In the whole process of project management, BIM improves quality, efficiency, sustainability and maintainability through various applications. It is intended to provide China’s construction industry with a tool to promote the modernization and long-term growth of the industry.
