BIM maturity models have become a significant method used to show the development stage of building information modeling (BIM) and to assist in measuring BIM capability. However, most of the existing maturity models focus on the evaluation technology, but the effect of BIM is not only related to technology, and most of them are mostly used for a comprehensive evaluation of BIM capability after the event. In this paper, for the purpose of comprehensive preevaluation of BIM application maturity of the project, considering the temporary characteristics of the project, based on Nolan’s growth stage model, from the perspective of technology, social environment, and project participants, a BIM application maturity model (BIM-AMM) including 10 measurement indicators is proposed. The model integrates the Barrel Principle in accordance with the characteristics of a single project. The conditions of BIM implementation are evaluated in advance, and specific deficiencies of BIM implementation are identified; then, BIM decision-making is determined for the project. Finally, an actual project is taken as the application demonstration case of BIM-AMM, and according to the results, the obstacles faced by the project organization in adopting BIM technology and the improvement strategies are put forward. The research results further expand the BIM maturity research to the early stage of the project and provide new ideas for BIM maturity research.
