Many software solutions are built around the concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM), yet the development of BIM-based collaborative design remains unsatisfactory.
Firstly, the supporting software ecosystem is underdeveloped. Although there are few software options available in our domestic market, leading international software has yet to establish standards tailored to local conditions. As a result, these tools struggle to integrate seamlessly with the domestic construction industry and commonly used software. For instance, generating 2D drawings from 3D models is often imperfect, and calculations tend to rely on foreign standards without fully considering local regulations. Additionally, China faces challenges in the production and application of concrete prefabricated components due to the lack of well-developed BIM-based software. This limitation hinders component manufacturers from independently developing prefabricated parts.
Secondly, designers find it difficult to adopt three-dimensional model design, largely due to the high cost of training.
Finally, there is a gap in awareness. Many professionals have an incomplete understanding of the advantages and benefits of new prefabricated components. This, combined with the absence of a comprehensive database and conflicts with traditional design workflows, means that mature software and network systems offering technical support are lacking. Consequently, people are reluctant to take risks and explore these new approaches.
