There are many BIM software options available worldwide, covering everything from design to operation. Each software has its own strengths and weaknesses. In China, most BIM software consists of specialized plugins. Only comprehensive and flexible applications can fully harness the software’s potential to achieve optimal results.
1. Planning and Architectural Design Modeling: Domestic plugins for Revit enable not only model creation but also the output of construction drawings that comply with national standards. Revit’s strengths lie in its powerful batch creation and adaptive modeling capabilities for complex families.
2. Planning and Architectural Design Analysis: Authoritative domestic software such as PKPM structural design, energy-saving design, green building design, and Tsinghua Rizhao are widely used for detailed analysis in this stage.
3. Cost Estimation and Quantity Takeoff: Domestic brands like Xindian, Guanglianda, Hongye, Luban, Olive Mountain, and Pinmingcha maintain a significant market share in China for cost and quantity management.
4. Management and Control During Bidding and Construction: BIM 5D software is applied for comprehensive project management and control. This includes schedule management, cost control, quality assurance, safety management, construction supervision, contract administration, material tracking, repair management, 3D technical disclosure, and construction simulation.
5. Operation and Maintenance Stage: Domestic operation and maintenance software such as Blue Planet is used to manage property operations effectively.
This overview highlights various BIM software and their advantages, aiming to provide useful insights for everyone involved in the field.
