5 RICS China Awards 2026 Put BIM Applications in the Spotlight

BIM is increasingly being judged by what it achieves on a real project—not simply by how detailed a model looks.
That idea is particularly visible in the RICS China Awards 2026, where Best BIM Application of the Year is one of the award categories. The finalists were officially published in July, with the winners scheduled to be announced at the awards ceremony in Shanghai on 28 August 2026.
The BIM category includes projects such as the Fujian Jiantou Industrial Building BIM-based design application project and the Guangnengfa BIM Team, demonstrating the range of ways BIM is being applied across China's built environment.
What makes the award particularly interesting is the criteria used to evaluate BIM applications. RICS looks beyond modelling and considers areas such as design, construction, operation, maintenance, collaboration, information management and lifecycle application.
The Bigger Picture
This reflects a broader change in how BIM maturity is being understood.
