In its pursuit of continuous improvement, SHKP has actively introduced new technology applications to enhance overall work efficiency and product quality. The company started adopting Building Information Modelling (BIM) in its development projects several years ago. By creating a 3D model containing all the information and data of a project for the relevant teams, the process has elevated work efficiency and quality, while reducing construction costs, which echoes our corporate culture of Quality, Speed, Efficiency.

BIM's edge

SHKP started applying BIM in 2013, and its BIM team was formed in 2018. In the past few years, SHKP had been exploring the possibilities of BIM with the industry and government bodies, widening and deepening its application. The BIM team turns 3D models into a collaboration platform that integrates all the information and data of a project to reduce errors arising from conventional paper communication. Leveraging the many automatic functions of the BIM software, the construction teams were able to generate effective, comprehensive analyses since the early development stage of the technology application. This has helped them foresee different situations and avoid making amendments after construction work has commenced, saving time and improving efficiency. The BIM model can also be applied to a spectrum of professional modelling simulations, such as CFD Simulation, Construction 4D Simulation, and Clash Analysis, eliminating the need for traditional modelling. BIM technology can even be applied to property management to elevate the effectiveness of facility management and maintenance.

Transforming the construction sector

In the future, the application of BIM will become more and more popular in the construction sector, bringing great changes to the workflow. For example, cross-team cooperation will become smoother; by utilizing Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies, project communication will become more straightforward and authentic; and conventional paper communication will be significantly reduced, facilitating a paperless workplace. With the development of BIM and IoT technologies, project management will be further connected to the Internet and big data, enhancing work effectiveness and reducing costs.
