The invention discloses a BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology based steel structure engineering visualization acceptance inspection method. Steel structure acceptance inspection application and acceptance inspection judgment are carried out in a spatial three-dimensional visualization virtual environment through a system, acceptance inspection results are expressed by different colors, and a project manager is enabled to understand acceptance inspection results and states visually. Inputted measurement results and standard judgment in a BIM model can assist acceptance inspection, and the efficiency is improved. The system inputs acceptance inspection process information into the BIM model, and the acceptance inspection process information is used as maintenance information in an engineering operation stage, and the traceability of the engineering quality is realized. The BIM technology based steel structure engineering visualization acceptance inspection method overcomes information island problems of high management communication cost, low efficiency and high error rate of traditional steel structure engineering acceptance inspection, acceptance inspection work is prevented from becoming formalistic, and the traceability of the engineering quality is realized.
