Abstract

BIM technology, leveraging its capabilities of 3D visualization and full lifecycle data coordination, has become a core tool for tackling complex engineering projects. However, existing BIM practices often face limitations such as disconnection between models and construction, inadequate support for heritage conservation scenarios, and low collaborative efficiency. This paper presents a case study of the Guangzhou Restaurant historical building renovation project. By establishing a digital model of the heritage structure through 3D scanning, integrating finite element analysis to simulate shared wall reinforcement, and utilizing a cloud-based collaborative platform to enhance design-construction coordination efficiency, significant outcomes were achieved: resolution of 2120 instances of MEP clash, increase of 150mm in ceiling height, reduction of 35 days in project schedule, cost savings of RMB 1.5 million, and a reduction of 30 metric tons of carbon emissions. This study provides valuable practical experience and technical insights into the application of BIM technology in historical building renovation projects.
