Abstract: In order to have a systematic and clear understanding of the application of BIM technology in the production stage of prefabricated building components, based on a large number of literature, we reviewed the production process and process flow of prefabricated components. Combined with the statistical analysis of the literature, the application of BIM related information technology in the production stage of prefabricated components is introduced, and the research status of information delivery in the production stage of prefabricated components is systematically concluded. Finally, this paper summarizes the gap of related researches between home and abroad, and puts forward the corresponding research suggestions. By reviewing the previous study on the application of BIM and information technologies, the paper also discusses the challenges and bottlenecks for information management in the manufacturing stage of precast elements, as well as future orientation of BIM technology application.

Key words:  prefabricated construction, production stages, components, building information modeling, information technology
