Currently, based on the maturity of BIM technology applications, the construction industry primarily utilizes the following BIM application modes:
- BIM 1.0: Model-centric with auxiliary applications
- BIM 1.5: Combining both models and graphics
- BIM 2.0: Covering the entire building life cycle
- BIM 3.0: Focused on the construction phase as the core
BIM 1.0 Mode
This mode primarily focuses on creating 3D models and automatically generating 2D drawings. CAD software is used to edit and refine components that do not meet drawing standards. After finishing the schematic design, results are displayed without incorporating project information inputs or usage, which limits its impact on optimizing overall project benefits.
BIM 1.5 Mode
BIM 1.5 is mainly applied during specific stages of a project and is the most widely adopted BIM technology in China. It features gaps in information but leverages building information models to facilitate phased collaborative design, helping to optimize building design processes.
BIM 2.0 Mode
Also known as forward BIM design, BIM 2.0 introduces BIM technology from the early planning stages of a project. This ensures accurate and effective input of building information at every phase, supporting design optimization. Additionally, multiple disciplines collaborate seamlessly on a unified cloud platform, enabling comprehensive teamwork and forward-looking BIM design.
BIM 3.0 Mode
BIM 3.0 is primarily applied during the construction phase, where BIM technology is fully integrated with project management for extended use. It expands construction technology management into comprehensive construction management and extends BIM applications throughout the entire building life cycle starting from the construction phase.
