We are pleased to welcome you to the 6th International Conference on Civil and Building
Engineering Informatics (ICCBEI 2025), hosted by the Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology. We are honored to hold this prestigious event, which continues a long tradition of
fostering collaboration and advancing research in civil and building engineering informatics.
The ICCBEI conference stands as a premier global event focusing on advancements in virtual
reality, augmented reality, and building information modeling. This year, we are thrilled to
host over 280 unique participants from 70 different governments, all gathered to explore and
share cutting-edge innovations and practical applications of information technologies within the
Architectural, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) sectors. Esteemed keynote
speakers from both academia and industry are set to deliver engaging talks on trending topics,
offering invaluable insights and knowledge.
From a total of 149 submitted papers, a meticulous review process has resulted in the
selection of 100 outstanding contributions. These papers will be showcased in parallel sessions
across eleven key themes, including:

• Digital Twins and BIM Technologies
• Construction Safety and Worker Well-being
• Innovations for Operation and Maintenance
• XR (VR/AR/MR) Visualization and Simulation
• Construction Robotics and Human-Robot Collaboration
• Large Model and Intelligent Building Operation and Maintenance
• Sustainable Construction and Development
