The Application of BIM in the Project of Ping′an International Finance Center South Tower Construction Management

With the rapid growth of economy and the progress of science and technology, modern information technology has been widely used in industrial production as well as daily life. The projects of super high-rise buildings involve large investment, long period of construction, participation of numerous contractors and complexity in construction management. In the principal contract management, the traditional way of information communication and management couldn′t meet the requirements. As principal contractor, we adopted the BIM methodology to help us to manage the complexity. This paper takes the project of South Tower, Pingan International Finance Center as case study. It describes the initial phase of the BIM organization and planning, the construction of the BIM application environment and the application of BIM technology in the high-rise construction management. It demonstrates how the management challenges were met through the integration of design and construction with BIM based solutions.
