A BIM-based construction quality management model and its applications

Abstract The potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to support a transformation of the processes of design and construction has been evident in the construction industry. Although BIM is considered helpful in improving design quality by eliminating conflicts and reducing rework, there has been little research into using BIM throughout the project for construction quality control and efficient information utilization. Due to the consistency of design data with quality data and construction process with quality control process, the potential of BIM implementation in quality management lies in its ability to present multi-dimensional data including design data and time sequence. This paper explores and discusses the advantages of 4D BIM for a quality application based on construction codes, by constructing the model in a product, organization and process (POP) data definition structure. A case study is provided to validate the use of the proposed 4D BIM application for quality control during the construction phase of the Wuhan International EXPO Center.
