The invention discloses high heat input welding resistant building steel and a production method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of steel production. The steel for the building comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: 0.05 to 0.18 percent of C, 0.05 to 0.75 percent of Si, 0.65 to 1.75 percent of Mn, 0.003 to 0.02 percent of P, 0.001 to 0.015 percent of S, 0.005 to 0.075 percent of Al, 0.01 to 0.05 percent of Nb, 0.01 to 0.07 percent of V, 0.005 to 0.04 percent of Ti, 0.001 to 0.01 percent of Mg + Ca, 0.002 to 0.01 percent of O, 0.005 to 0.015 percent of N and the balance of Fe and residual elements, the contents of V, Ti and N also meet the relational expression: 1.06 [Ti] < 3.64 [N] < [V] + 1.06 [Ti]. Precipitated particles formed by nitrides of titanium, niobium and vanadium and oxides of magnesium and calcium play roles in pinning austenite grains and promoting ferrite nucleation; and by adjusting alloy components and a smelting process, the number and form of various nitrides and oxides are reasonably and effectively controlled, coarse structures generated in the welding heat cycle process are eliminated, and the welding performance of the building steel is improved.
