Currently, many enterprises in China overlook the importance of preparing detailed project schedules. Instead, they rely on subjective judgments or simple calculations to estimate construction timelines, which lack a scientific foundation. While some companies do create schedules, these plans are often too vague to effectively guide the construction process. As a result, their forced implementation leads to disorganized resource allocation on-site.
Moreover, progress tracking during construction often suffers from significant delays. When unexpected issues cause projects to fall behind or exceed the planned schedule, very few companies can adjust their timelines in real time. This is largely due to the traditional construction model, where communication between stakeholders is limited. During schedule preparation, the lack of effective feedback from all parties means that plans often do not reflect actual conditions. After the schedule is established, progress tracking relies heavily on manual data collection, which is neither comprehensive nor timely.
Manual information gathering not only slows the process but also compromises accuracy. In the traditional workflow, schedules exist as static paper charts, with each phase disconnected from others. Consequently, any necessary adjustments require completely rewriting the plan, significantly increasing the workload. By integrating BIM technology, communication and collaboration among all stakeholders improve, enabling more effective schedule preparation. BIM also facilitates rapid on-site data collection, allowing precise and efficient progress monitoring. Additionally, BIM enables dynamic links between progress information, so when one part of the schedule changes, related factors can be automatically updated. This greatly simplifies the process of adjusting project timelines.
