Development of workflow interface structural steel work of management in construction sites, the modular architecture to establish a Building information modeling, BIM-based building structural steel work of interface management system to provide on-site engineering personnel hoisting operation status and related jobs information through visual interface management platform for timely construction progress. The Interface Manager can be integrated information system can really grasp the handle and track the progress of the field of steel loading interface issues, import via the real case in construction interface management to visualization review the steel loading platform construction of processes and engineering methods, providing instant management information to enhance the capacity of the construction interface communication and coordination to reduce on-site construction interface conflict, steel hoisting operation time can be shortened and to explore the effectiveness of the system of import restrictions and the difficulties and subsequent research proposals.  \nKeywords: BIM, Building Information Modeling, Interface Management, Steel Construction  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nThe benefit of structural steel works of construction has shorter duration, excellence seismic performance andreusable. It is principal framework of the modern urban building. The workflows in structural steel works are including hoisting, correction, installation and weld etc. Based on construction safety, the structural steel works has space exclusive and main task in the critical path. It will directly influence other task. Because of the structural steel works has close relationship with architecture, structure and MEP etc. In design phase, difference interface participates in design. Usually, applications of the combined service drawing (CSD) and structural, electrical and mechanical (SEM) are widely used for interface management. Also, the structural steel works is often located in the city, unable to be provided broad space for stacking and storage materials. Thus, the steel manufacturer must be follow the hosting and installation schedule of construction site, to reduce the temporary storage and transportation of secondary time and cost. The manager has to use the 2D shop drawing for communication and coordination in main manage platform in the interface meeting, make the workers and managers have cognitive differences between different interface, misunderstanding, and on site management information insufficient. Unable to avoid interface clash and lack of material situation, impact the steel hoisting and installation work and whole project schedule. The structural steel projects have become substantially bigger and increasing","cbCaiqhAvelSvyKP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqhAvelSvyKP","pdf",674886,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n# LITERATURE REVIEWS","[{\"question\":\"Why is interface management important for structural steel construction?\",\"answer\":\"Structural steel work has close interface relationships with architecture, structure, and MEP, and poor coordination can lead to interface clashes, misunderstandings, and schedule impacts.
