Recently BIM technology has been expanded for using in construction project. However its spread has been delayed than the initial expectations, due to the high-cost of BIM infrastructure development, the lack of regulations, the lack of process and so forth. Therefore, this research proposes the cloud computing based BIM service for saving the cost of BIM infrastructure development and providing various BIM Services to meet the domestic process. In order to achieve this, we perform a survey on the cloud computing based BIM service and develope the prototype system as the core technology of proposed service. The developed the prototype system consists of the IFC based BIM server for IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and the viewer for SaaS (Software as a Service). This research also conducts the performance test for their applicability and verifies that the results of this research can be used as core components in the cloud computing based BIM service.
