Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to the digital information model created and utilized during the design and construction phases of a building. The concept, first introduced by Chuck Eastman in the 1980s, integrates nearly all geometric data, functional requirements, and component performance into a single comprehensive building model. This model consolidates all process information—including exploration, design, construction, maintenance, and management—covering the entire lifecycle of a building project.
Currently, BIM technology in China is still developing. However, it is expected to play a vital role in the country’s future growth. Consequently, the government places great emphasis on BIM research and supports it through strong policy measures. For instance, during the “15th Five-Year Plan for Science and Technology Research and Development,” Chinese researchers conducted in-depth studies on IFC international standards, which enhanced their understanding of BIM and laid a solid foundation for future advancements. Additionally, in May 2011, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the “2011-2015 Outline for the Development of Information Technology in the Construction Industry,” designating BIM as a key component of IT applications in design and construction phases.
The Application of BIM Technology in the Operation Stage of Landscape Engineering
During the property operation phase, BIM technology provides significant benefits and practical value to property management teams. The three-dimensional visualization capabilities enable personnel to monitor BIM models closely and access detailed project information related to engineering tasks.
As the country’s economy grows, residents’ expectations for their living environments continue to rise. Increasingly, people pay attention to landscaping, green spaces, and public areas within residential communities. Therefore, owners and developers can enhance their BIM models by incorporating landscaping, greenery, and landscape information through VR rendering and other techniques. This allows potential buyers to experience a more intuitive and realistic representation of their future living spaces, satisfying their desire for green environments. Simultaneously, property managers can utilize the BIM information model to monitor and manage landscape-related data in real time, improving maintenance and operational efficiency.
