Teikoku Fudosan Strengthens Practical BIM Operations Including Partner Companies, Leveraging MLIT's "Building GX/DX Promotion Project"
Teikoku Fudosan is strengthening its Building Information Modeling (BIM) practical operation system, including partner companies, by utilizing the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's (MLIT) "Building GX/DX Promotion Project." This initiative aims to establish BIM utilization at a practical level across the construction and real estate industries and reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions.

Teikoku Fudosan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hironori Kimoto; hereinafter "Teikoku Fudosan") will strengthen its Building Information Modeling (BIM) practical operation system by leveraging the "Building GX/DX Promotion Project" promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. We will proceed with building an operational system that includes partner companies, aiming to establish practical BIM utilization, which is an industry-wide challenge.
This project is a system that integrates and promotes GX (Green Transformation, lifecycle CO2 reduction) and DX (Digital Transformation, productivity improvement through BIM utilization) in the construction sector. Teikoku Fudosan established a specialized team in 2021 and has been promoting consistent BIM utilization from design and estimation to ordering. Through this initiative, we will promote the advancement of BIM utilization, including internal and external collaboration.
■ Background
In the construction and real estate industries, while BIM adoption is progressing, a survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism indicates that the adoption rate remains around 45%. Practical utilization and established operations, including partner companies, are limited. Particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), implementation costs and operational burden are challenges.
Amidst this situation, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism established the "Building GX/DX Promotion Project," which provides integrated support for BIM utilization and LCA (Life Cycle Assessment, evaluation of CO2 emissions throughout a building's lifecycle). Furthermore, BIM drawing review operations will commence in April 2026, requiring a transition from introduction to practical operation.
Our company has, until now, promoted internal penetration of BIM mainly through its specialized team. However, in external collaboration, including partner companies, there have been challenges in establishing practical operations.
Given these circumstances, our company will utilize this subsidy project to expand BIM utilization and establish practical application, including partner companies.
■ Content and Effects
Our company is utilizing this subsidy project for a total of 59 properties between May 1, 2025, and February 28, 2026. Eligible expenses include BIM model creation costs, BIM license fees, and personnel costs for BIM coordinators and modelers. This will alleviate cost challenges and lead to an expanded scope of BIM utilization and accelerated technical skill acquisition.
【Specific Initiatives】
Introduction of new add-ons
Promotion of BIM adoption among partner companies
Expansion of BIM utilization within the company (e.g., expansion of target departments)
【Expected Effects】
Increase in internal BIM adoption rate
Expansion of BIM-skilled personnel within the company
Improvement in motivation of employees using BIM
■ Future Outlook
Due to national systems, BIM is transitioning to become a foundation utilized for building permits and administrative procedures.
Teikoku Fudosan will leverage its established practical foundation to:
Respond to building permit applications using BIM data scheduled for Spring 2029
Automate steel frame production drawings
Verify automation of volume plans
Standardize and streamline workflows, including partner companies
These initiatives will advance the design, construction, and application processes.
Furthermore, through these efforts, we will contribute to reducing life cycle CO2 emissions (LCCO2) for entire buildings.
Although LCCO2 evaluation is limited in this subsidy project, we will aim to expand the scope of eligible properties if the system continues. We plan to start construction on 150 properties next fiscal year, and as an operator responsible for social infrastructure, we will steadily advance efforts toward decarbonization.
