Abstract:This paper reviews the development of building industrialization in each period of China and points out that it is necessary and urgent
to promote building industrialization in this new era so as to realize the industrial restructuring and technology upgrading of the
construction industry. According to the objectives and requirements of building industrialization, the paper reviews and analyzes the
characteristics of three building industrialization development modes, which are precast concrete structure, modern cast-in-situ
concrete structure and steel structure. Moreover, it discusses problems in current application of precast concrete structure. Finally,
the paper puts forward several approaches to the promotion of building industrialization. It suggests that multi-mode industrial
building structure systems should be developed in an all-around way and related research and application of demonstration engineering
projects should be encouraged. It also proposes that the development of building industrialization should base on policy support and at
the same time pay much attention to market orienting. What is more, it is important to actively promote the development of a whole
industrial chain and the application of BIM technology in building industrialization.
