Traditional project scheduling tools like Gantt charts struggle with dynamic adjustments and real-time optimization in complex construction projects, leading to inefficiencies and delays. This study addresses this challenge by proposing a dynamic optimization framework that integrates Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance schedule management. The framework comprises three layers: a data layer for collecting BIM and real-time site data, an analysis layer powered by AI algorithms for predictive analytics and optimization, and an application layer for visualizing progress and supporting decision-making. Through a case study on a large-scale water reservoir tunnel project in China, the framework demonstrated significant improvements in identifying schedule risks, optimizing resource allocation, and enabling real-time adjustments. Key innovations include a 4-in-1 Network Diagram Engine and a Blueprint Engine, which facilitate intuitive progress monitoring and automated task management. However, limitations in personnel skill matching, interface complexity, and mobile system performance were identified. This research advances the theoretical foundation of BIM-AI integration and provides practical insights for improving scheduling efficiency and project outcomes in the construction industry. Future work should focus on enhancing human resource management modules and refining system usability for broader adoption.
