Application of BIM technology in the reinforcement and renovation of existing building inspection projects

Due to the characteristics of visualization, simulation, information integrity, and flexibility, Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology would be widely applied in every stage of construction projects. The existing building structure inspection methods used in this article included safety inspection of existing buildings, applicability inspection of existing buildings, and durability inspection of existing buildings. In visual collaborative design, a project information data model was established based on BIM, and the real-time information dynamics of the building information model were mastered through the sharing and updating of local files. The "reinforcement family" established in this article was mainly composed of beams, columns, walls, etc. In order to achieve widespread applicability of reinforcement families, it was necessary to select family templates based on lines or faces that were not limited by the host when creating reinforcement families. The implementation plan of the building renovation in this article had an annual power consumption of 1260476.5KW·h. While reducing costs and risks, BIM technology brought higher efficiency, higher quality, and more sustainable development opportunities to the construction industry.
