With the continuous advancement and widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in the construction industry, BIM software systems have grown increasingly comprehensive. These systems can be categorized into three main types: core BIM modeling software, BIM model-based in-depth analysis software, and BIM model-based construction process project management software.
The core BIM modeling software primarily includes architectural and structural design tools such as Revit Architecture, Revit Structural, and ArchiCAD; equipment design software like Revit MEP and the Design Master software series; as well as industrial design and infrastructure construction software, including Bentley Mechanical Systems.
In-depth BIM analysis software encompasses sustainable design tools like Green Building Studio, electromechanical analysis software such as Trane, and structural analysis programs including PKPM and SAP2000.
Meanwhile, BIM-based construction process project management software includes scheduling tools like MS Project and Navisworks, cost management software such as Guanglian Da and Luban, and building equipment management systems.
Guanglian Da is a widely used BIM software in China, especially recognized for its role in project management and cost control. It offers comprehensive solutions and products covering the full project lifecycle.
As part of the BIM product suite, Guanglian Da Cost Management Software integrates seamlessly with Project Management (PM) and Data Management and Service (DM) systems, creating an engineering-focused BIM cost management workflow, as illustrated in the image above.
The Guanglian Da cost software series includes BIM5D, a BIM-based construction process management tool; MagiCAD, a specialized BIM solution for the electromechanical industry; GICD, an intelligent BIM design software for structural construction drawings; as well as BIM calculation tools, BIM browsers, BIM drawing review software, 3D construction site layout tools, and BIM template scaffolding software. With the growing adoption of BIM technology, Guanglian Da is also expanding its compatibility by developing model interfaces with design software like Revit.
