Abstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has grown tremendously and used in each stage of construction project life cycle. This research focus on integrating BIM with quality management for innovative development and improve performance efficiency of the quality management system in the construction stage. First, this study proposes an application framework for BIM in the AEC (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) filed. Basically, this framework emphasizes the application of different BIM models with different special requirements during different phases of the project life cycle. Second, based on this framework, a QC (Quality Control) model system prototype is established. The QC model is utilized in the construction stage with Autodesk Revit API (Application Programming Interface) to code the add-ins, which can record onsite quality defects immediately and display the 3D elements of these defects. Moreover, users can also print the QC reports with this system or use A360 to produce th
e panorama or stereo panorama to check the positions of the onsite quality defects using mobile devices. The system efficiently documents construction quality defects while improving communications regarding quality information.
