Abstract |
Currently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging technological shift that involves applying and maintaining an integral digital representation of all building information for different phases of the project lifecycle. Although BIM has been recognized as a main stream in the construction industry, it is difficult to ensure the quality of BIM data due to the problems such as internal errors of BIM tools and lack of guidelines considering design quality. Such problems give lots of difficulties to BIM adoption for designers, constructors, and owners. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the requirements including the object-oriented modeling method and property definition by applying the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) which is an ISO/PAS 16739 standard for ensuring the quality of BIM data. This research aims at proposing the requirements considering the quality of BIM data and demonstrating the efficiency of the requirements with using the Solibri Model Checker (SMC) which is a quality control tool in a case study. |
