In recent years, with the rapid rise of BIM in our country, more homeowners have begun to pay attention to and gradually adopt this technology. Some notable achievements have been made, with companies like Vanke and Wanda implementing BIM applications successfully. By introducing BIM, property owners can enhance their group’s integration capabilities through the construction of collaborative BIM workflows. Additionally, BIM management methods help improve quality while reducing cost waste. Using these new technologies also boosts the brand image of the group, transforming BIM from a project-level tool to an enterprise-level application.
Today, we will analyze the various stages that property owners go through after adopting BIM.
Early Stage: Building a Solid Foundation for BIM
The first task is to establish a BIM center as the driving force behind the initiative and develop an annual BIM adoption plan. At the same time, it is essential to create a standardized BIM operating environment. This includes decisions on software selection and procurement, training and deploying seed instructors across business units, setting up training windows, and formulating operational standards and regulations for BIM.
Sample files ensure consistency in the quality of BIM models and illustrations, while operation guidelines help incorporate components into various stages of design. This approach enables cross-stage reuse through one-time modeling.
Intermediate Stage: Project-Level BIM Implementation
At this stage, BIM is applied at the project level using pilot implementation plans to test whether its functions meet the needs of different business units. Collaborative work challenges may arise during this process, necessitating the establishment of a collaborative work platform and management methods.
Problems encountered in projects are systematically identified, categorized, and resolved. A database is then created to store, manage, and maintain project solutions and related data, ultimately shaping the enterprise’s BIM application model.
Advanced Stage: Expanding BIM’s Enterprise Application
In the advanced phase, it is crucial to assess the extent to which BIM applications should be implemented in the enterprise and identify areas for improvement. Leveraging successful BIM cases, companies can promote their achievements externally, build influence, and develop BIM-based intellectual property—such as component-sharing platforms or intellectual property libraries.
Expert Recommendations for Future BIM Adoption by Property Owners
Experts have shared four key suggestions for owners planning to implement BIM:
1. The introduction of BIM will change existing work habits and processes. To minimize disruption across branches, Jie Group recommends starting from specific points, progressing gradually from shallow to deep, and implementing BIM step-by-step.
2. BIM adoption should begin at the design source, fully embracing 3D design to avoid rework of drawings and models. This is crucial for promoting BIM and ensuring clean data from the outset.
3. Property owners must clearly establish work standards and contracts, and allocate reasonable budgets to guarantee BIM implementation quality.
4. Models should prioritize information refinement over excessive detail. It’s important to consider the scope and purpose of BIM applications to prevent over-modeling.
That concludes our discussion on the stages property owners experience after introducing BIM. We hope this content offers valuable insights and guidance for property owners embarking on their BIM journey.
