Abstract: Abstract BIM has been widely spread in China’s construction industry since 2008. This paper considers that application status and characteristics of BIM technology by investigated adaption of BIM among stakeholders in Shanghai. In the survey, it finds that the stakeholders reached a consensus about the trends of BIM implementation and have achieved a certain difference level of experience. The attitude between most of them is just cautiously optimistic for BIM adaption in future. However, there are still some differences in the scope of application, benefits and barriers for them. Compared various countries, BIM’s top benefits in China are consistent with them, but others are scattered and unclear. Stakeholders do not pay much attention to the defects of construction standards, information security and intellectual property. In macro factors of BIM development, government and other administrative departments should play an active role in promoting the training of BIM, standardizing rules and specifications, improving the relevant legal mechanisms. In driving forces of BIM stakeholders, owners should play a leading role and others parties should play their different roles in difference phase. In addition, the government should establish policies and create good conditions for the development of BIM.
