The urbanization process has led to an increase in the complexity of subway construction projects, while traditional management methods face various problems such as coordination difficulties. Based on the technical characteristics of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, such as its ability to integrate various types of information, improve collaborative efficiency, reduce costs, and shorten cycles, this study explores the application effect of BIM technology in the visualization management of subway projects and analyzes its role in improving project management efficiency, quality control, and risk warning. The study first establishes a BIM model for the subway project, builds a three-dimensional visualization platform based on the constructed model, and dynamically monitors the construction progress, cost, quality management and safety risks. Then, through real-time data collection and comparison, combined with schedule planning and cost budgeting, BIM is used for real-time monitoring and adjustment. BIM technology has significantly improved project management efficiency and shortened construction periods. Specific data show that the application of BIM has increased project construction progress by up to 3%, shortened the feedback cycle of quality issues by up to 60%, and reduced project costs by an average of 8%. The conclusion is that BIM technology has significant advantages in the visual management of subway projects, which can improve the efficiency of information transmission, reduce delays and errors, optimize resource allocation, and enhance project benefits. It is recommended to widely use BIM in future subway projects to promote the modernization and intelligence of project management.
