Abstract: Abstract Currently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been increasingly used in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, and the exploration of BIM focuses on the design and some parts of the construction process. One of the major problems that limits the usage of BIM is that it generally contains up-designed information which is time-consuming and error-prone to manually update in the following stages of the construction project. The virtual model without real-life information can hardly support decision-making throughout the lifecycle of the project. This paper develops the framework for bridging BIM and buildings, and discusses the use of some technologies including radio frequency identification (RFID), laser scanner, webcam, local area network (LAN), and personal area network (PAN) to collect and transfer real-life information. It is emphasized that the availability of real-time information is essential for lifecycle management. BIM will be an ideal platform to provide real-time information if it is well connected with real-life processes through those technologies.
