Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Phase II (Xiamen,China)
Project Location: 1739 Xianyue Road Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, 361000
Project Scope: All at-grade and subterranean levels
Total Construction Area: 40,283.56 m2 (Over 433,293.8 sqft)
Project Overview:
Upon project completion, the Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will see its area double in size, with several new buildings significantly increasing its capacity to accommodate patients and provide related services, thereby addressing the growing healthcare needs of the community.
Project Details:
BIM modeling harnessed advanced software to architect intricate BIM models across a wide spectrum of systems. These models facilitate a range of functions, including drawing reviews, elevation assessments, height analyses, integrated pipeline configurations, and meticulous verification of finishing drawings. This methodology not only elevates design precision but also significantly mitigates errors and rework during the construction phase, thereby ensuring the timely delivery of the project.
1. BIM Model
Develop a comprehensive BIM model utilizing advanced professional software.

Detecting design deficiencies through BIM models is a crucial step in design optimization. In the Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Phase II project, BIM modeling revealed numerous design challenges through a thorough analysis of the BIM model. Following this, BIM modeling collaborated with relevant stakeholders to devise appropriate solutions, significantly enhancing design accuracy and facilitating the seamless execution of the project. Here are two exemplary cases:
Design Defect 1:
Problem:
The position of the patient passage on the 5th floor has a floor height of 4500 mm(~ 177.17 in.), a structural drop of 400 mm(~ 15.57 in.), a beam height of 800 mm(~ 31.5 in.), a clear height below the beam of 3250 mm(~ 127.95 in.), and after the integrated arrangement of the pipelines, the clear height below the ceiling is 1230 mm(~ 47.43 in.).
