Abstract

In China, the mobile devices, especially smart phones and tablet PCs have been growing up with an astonishing speed. Meanwhile Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been one of the most promising developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. Since there are very few researches and products on the BIM mobile applications developments in China, based on the author’s study and development results, this paper presents a systematic solution on BIM mobile application developments and discusses some critical issues for solving the existed problems, such as the network-speed limitations, simplifications and transferring of the BIM models, as well as platform independence issues to develop well suited mobile applications based on BIM for Chinese users in the AEC. The solutions have been tested in a prototype system.
