Comparison of BIM and RFID technology applications [35].

Application	Information collection method	Information processing method	Characteristics of information use
BIM and RFID not applied	Manual input, photography, and scanning	DOC files, Excel sheets, images, folders, and databases	Information connection is not timely; it is not easy to find information; it cannot be associated with project progress; it can be archived
BIM only	Manual input, photography, and scanning	BIM model	Information connection is not timely; information is easily accessed; it can be associated with project progress; it can be archived
RFID only	RFID, mobile terminal, and web-based client acquisition	DOC files, Excel sheets, images, folders, and databases	Information connection is timely; it is not easy to find information; it can be associated with project progress; it can be archived
BIM and RFID combined application	RFID, mobile terminal, and web-based client acquisition	BIM model	Information connection is timely; information is easily accessed; it can be associated with project progress; it can be archived
