Abstract

Lean construction is a new type of management mode of construction project, which is especially suitable for those complex, changeable and speedy construction projects. Besides, building information model (BIM) is “computable digital information” created and utilized during the design and construction of buildings. This paper takes construction project as the object and combines BIM technology with the theory of lean construction. Both of them will play a collective role in cost control of construction project. A case study is made to illustrate that to the construction projects, the lean construction and BIM technology can control their cost effectively.

Keywords: BIM technology, Construction project, Cost control, Lean construction.
