(1) Application Mode: Currently, the use of BIM technology in China is largely in its early stages. Most implementations involve reverse engineering—converting existing design drawings into models and then using these models for tasks such as video production. This approach reduces the efficiency of BIM applications and increases the workload for BIM professionals.
(2) Application Results: Due to national and local policies, bidding documents that incorporate BIM technology often receive additional points. Similarly, scoring standards for assembly rates also favor BIM use. As a result, many companies adopt BIM superficially, focusing on compliance rather than addressing existing challenges. Consequently, BIM integration remains at a stage akin to mere model flipping, without deeper project integration.
(3) Data Utilization: At its core, BIM technology combines multiple software platforms to establish and analyze data. The construction industry, characterized by complexity, dynamism, hierarchical structures, and long project cycles, generates vast amounts of data throughout its lifecycle. However, the industry currently lacks effective data analysis, with key issues including:
① High Costs: Leading BIM software tends to be expensive, creating high operational costs for companies and slowing the realization of benefits.
② Lack of Standardized Interfaces: BIM relies on integrating various enterprise software—covering modeling, analysis, data processing, cost estimation, and construction simulation. Differences in file formats and terminology between these tools hinder interoperability and slow BIM adoption.
③ Limited Application Scope: Presently, BIM is mainly used for model flipping and video animation. These applications offer limited practical value and fail to unlock the full potential of BIM technology.
