LuBan 3D

LUBAN 3D (also known as LuBan or Luban BIM) is a comprehensive construction project management and BIM application platform developed by the Glodon Company. It is not a general 3D modeling tool but a specialized BIM-based construction digital management system. Its core function is to extract, manage, and utilize data from 3D BIM models (created in tools like Revit, Tekla, or Rhino) to drive real-world construction processes.

The platform streamlines workflows for quantity takeoff, cost estimation, site progress tracking, and collaborative project management, effectively bridging the gap between design intent and on-site execution. It’s widely adopted in large-scale infrastructure and building projects across Asia and increasingly in global markets.

Key Features & Capabilities

LUBAN 3D transforms static BIM models into dynamic sources of construction intelligence.

Core Platform Modules & Functions:

1. BIM Data Integration & Processing (Luban BIM / Explorer):
· Multi-Format Import: Directly imports and integrates IFC, RVT (Revit), DGN (MicroStation), DWG, and other major BIM/CAD formats.
· Automated Quantity Takeoff (QTO): Extracts precise material quantities (concrete volume, steel tonnage, formwork area, etc.) from the 3D model with rule-based classifications.
2. Construction Simulation & Planning (4D/5D BIM):
· 4D Scheduling Integration: Links the 3D model components with project schedules (from MS Project or Primavera P6) to create visual construction sequence simulations.
· 5D Cost Management: Associates cost data with model elements for real-time budget tracking and “what-if” scenario analysis.

3. On-Site Management & Collaboration:
· Luban Field (Mobile & Web): Enables site engineers to access model data, report progress, log issues, and track quality/safety checks using mobile devices.
· Collaboration Platform: Cloud-based environment for document management, drawing version control, and multi-disciplinary team coordination.
4. Fabrication & Prefabrication Support:
· Generates detailed shop drawings and data for rebar, steel structures, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) prefabrication.
· Can export data for CNC machinery and automated production lines.
