Case Study: China Construction First Group achieves faster, higher-quality museum construction with Autodesk BIM solutions

Modern digital technology solves historic construction challenges

The customer, China Construction First Group, faced the challenge of constructing the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum while protecting surrounding ancient heritage, controlling the quality of complex curved structures, and minimizing waste of a limited supply of ancient kiln bricks. They partnered with Autodesk, utilizing the AEC Collection of BIM solutions, including Revit and Navisworks, to plan and model the project before construction began.

By implementing Autodesk's BIM solutions, the team digitally modeled the site and workflows, which allowed them to optimize traffic flows, design a custom framework for the curved arches, and accurately quantify materials. This approach resulted in a 30% reduction in design errors, a 20% savings of nonrenewable ancient bricks, a 50% improvement in communication efficiency, and a time savings of 58 days, enabling the project to be delivered on time without damaging the historical surroundings.
