Abstract
The article presents a comparative analysis of modern methods for designing industrialbuildings in Germany, Japan, the UnitedStates, and China, and assesses the applicability of theidentified practices to the conditions of Kazakhstan. The main areas of research include BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM), modular (prefabricated) construction, energy-efficient and low-carbontechnologies, as well as methods for improving seismic resistance. Methodologically, the study is basedon a systematic review of scientific literature and industry reports from 2018 to 2025, a regulatoryanalysis, and a comparison of implemented projects- with a particular focus on quantitative indicatorssuch as time reduction, waste minimization, and lower energy consumption. The results show that theintegration of BIM and modular technologies significantly reduces design clashes and operationalinefficiencies, provided there is a developed manufacturing base and module standardization. Energy-efficient solutions- such as enhanced building envelopes, heat recovery systems, and the use of renewableenergy sources- make it possible to reduce the energy consumption of industrial complexes by 20–50%,depending on the applied technologies and the initial condition of the facility. Seismic isolation anddamping systems decrease transmitted accelerations and help maintain equipment functionality inseismically active regions. For Kazakhstan, a phased adaptation strategy is proposed: pilotimplementation of BIM in public sector projects, the development of local prefabrication facilities, theintroduction of stricter energy standards for industrial envelopes, andthe targeted application of seismicprotection for critical facilities. The conclusion presents practical recommendations on regulatorysupport, human resource development, and directions for future quantitative research
