① The Lenovo Wuhan R&D Base project started in 2016, covering a total construction area of over 170,000 square meters with an investment of 1.02 billion yuan. The project faced challenges such as unclear construction disclosure, limited progress monitoring, and delayed reporting of safety issues. To address these, the construction team from China Construction Third Engineering Bureau utilized Guanglianda BIM for 4D dynamic construction simulation during the building phase. They segmented the project timeline into progress milestones, simulated interdisciplinary workflows, and employed a 5D platform to manage construction flow. Real-time site photos were captured via the BIMSD mobile app to monitor progress and quality. Material demand and procurement were also simulated using BIM 5D. Overall, BIM implementation during construction ensured smooth project operation, refined construction management processes, and secured both quality and schedule control.
② The new site project of Beijing Temple of Heaven Hospital began in 2015 and is one of Beijing’s key developments. It spans a construction area of 352,294 square meters with a total investment of 3.66 billion yuan. The project encountered complexities including complicated pipeline installations, numerous secondary structural details, significant raw material waste, and highly intricate drawings that were difficult to modify. The design and construction teams from China Construction First Engineering Bureau leveraged Guanglian Da GGJ software to develop detailed steel bar models during both the design and construction phases. These models were imported into the BIM 5D platform, integrating Revit civil engineering and electromechanical systems to unify data management. Using BIM, they deepened drawing models and optimized pipeline layouts, improving clearances and minimizing rework. They also built a secondary structural model for brick placement, simulating brick demand based on construction progress to guide procurement decisions. BIM facilitated integrated drawing management, enabling synchronized updates and quick access to changes. Real-time site simulations helped identify potential risks, control costs, and maintain schedules. This comprehensive BIM application during pipeline design uncovered over 50 major clashes, reducing waste by more than 1 million yuan. Additionally, efficient engineering quantity reporting, review, and material procurement saved nearly 1 million yuan. The project fostered a strong BIM team and won first prize in the 2015 China Construction Industry Association BIM Competition.
③ The Tianjin Ocean Museum project, launched in 2015, covers 80,000 square meters and involves a total investment exceeding 2 billion yuan. The main structure is steel-framed, equipped with elevators and detailed interior decoration. The design harmoniously integrates the venue with its surrounding land and water features.
China Construction Eighth Engineering Division employed Guanglianda BIM to create a 3D terrain simulation combined with GIS geographic data, compiling building information into the BIM model to develop a conceptual plan inspired by comprehensive design insights. They fully utilized BIM’s performance numerical simulation and parametric optimization technologies to analyze wind environment, sunlight exposure, and building functional flow for design validation. Through BIM visualization, architects generated alternative design solutions by adjusting parameters based on plan shortcomings and client requirements, fostering creative inspiration. The BIM application during project decision-making and design phases enabled interactive design of nonlinear building forms and structures, seamless integration of interior and exterior spaces, parameterization and modularization of building surfaces, and coordination of building conduits with interior layouts.
