Abstract—Different from construction of new building, building relocation project utilizes many specific techniques in the phase of underpinning, separating, moving and arrival connecting, which, to a great extent, determine the cost, period and quality of construction management. Since every building shift project is unique and unrepeatable, a performance-based design method is proposed for planning the key techniques properly. In this method, the requirement of project and the characteristics of techniques are comprehensively considered first with the index of cost, time, influence to upper structure, controllability and scope, based on which the original plans are made. Then the feasibility analysis, utilizing the finite element model, is performed, which is based on the specific on-site performance of upper structure, together with the consideration of project requirements, to achieve the final optimized plan, which services for the completion of project management goal.
