Abstract:Information sharing is one of the key factors to enhance project management efficiency in Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) projects, as information management can provide effective data support and decision-making basis for engineering management activities such as optimizing resource utilization, controlling project schedules, and managing risks. The application of intelligent construction management platforms integrating various information technologies, represented by BIM technology, can effectively improve the asymmetry of information in EPC projects. However, the enthusiasm for information sharing among general contractors in engineering practice is generally low, leading to the inability of intelligent construction platforms to function effectively. Addressing this issue, this paper takes the scenario of intelligent construction management platforms initiated by the owner as a specific context, applies evolutionary game theory, constructs a game model between the owner and the general contractor, and conducts simulation studies on the strategic choices of both parties in the process of information sharing incentives. The owner's strategic choices include incentivizing or not incentivizing the general contractor for information sharing, while the general contractor can choose between active or passive information sharing. By varying different parameter values, this study explores the impact of different parameters on the general contractor's information sharing behavior and the key factors influencing the strategic choices of both parties. The results reveal that the greater the additional benefits for the owner and the lower the incentive costs, the more inclined the owner is to adopt incentive strategies. Similarly, the greater the potential benefits of active information sharing for the general contractor and the smaller the opportunity benefits of passive information sharing, the more inclined the general contractor is to adopt active information sharing strategies. The maturity of the general contractor's application of intelligent construction management platforms and subsidies from the owner significantly affect the strategies of both parties. Based on this, it is suggested that the owner should combine material incentives with reputation incentives, adjust incentive strategies in a timely manner according to the different stages of platform application, and supplement them with appropriate penalty mechanisms in order to promote active information sharing among general contractors.
