Exploring quality issues in building information models via structural design reviews

2022-11-01
Building Information Models (BIMs) are being used widely in the construction industry. BIMs generally contain errors and mistakes, if not identified, might result in long review processes with the employers or cause issues during code compliance checks or construction. Since the quality requirements vary according to projects and even the stakeholders within the same project, it is challenging to establish a standard quality-check procedure. To focus on the model quality, custom procedures tailored according to the needs of the design teams should be prepared. Hence, there is a need to explore the BIM quality issues and develop formulations to identify and eliminate them in time. Currently, there are no specific guidelines and formulations to determine the overall quality level of a BIM and propose Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) procedures. In this study, design and model reviews from the owner are used to analyze the items to be checked for satisfying a structural model's integrity. The design reviews are classified and analyzed to understand the existing issues. This study contributes to a better understanding of BIM quality issues and proposes a direction toward BIM quality assurance and control formulation that can be tailored by practitioners and design teams.

An investigation of legal aspects of BIM in construction contracts
Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-04-17)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted worldwide in recent years as a novel way of working that enables efficiency in the construction industry. Lately, numerous countries made it compulsory to utilize BIM in public construction projects. Similarly, BIM became a contractual requirement in some public infrastructure and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects in Turkey. However, in order to benefit from the advantages of BIM, some legal concerns such as intellectual property, liability, legal val...
Investigation of legal issues and contractual considerations associated with BIM use in construction projects
Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has expanded its use worldwide in recent years, as it brings efficiency and better quality to the construction industry. This expansion also motivates researchers to investigate potential problems that may occur while adopting and using BIM. Since it has modified the nature of the relationships between the parties to differ from traditional project delivery, legal issues such as Model Ownership and Intellectual Property, Contractual Relationship of Parties, Design Liabi...
QA/QC formulation in building information models via structural design reviews
Çandır, Esat; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-12-09)
Building Information Models (BIMs) are being used widely in the construction industry, and a quality check should be performed in order to ensure the integrity and reliability of the models. Quality concern starts with the initial steps in modeling and continues through at the end of the lifecycle of a project. BIMs generally contain some errors and mistakes and if not identified, might result in long review processes with the employers or cause issues during code compliance checks or construction. Since th...
Evaluation of bluetooth low energy technology for indoor localization in built environments
Topak, Fatih; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2016)
Localization in indoor built environments has a considerable importance for architecture, engineering and construction industry. It has a wide scope including building occupancy detection, automated asset tracking in construction sites, supporting facility maintenance and operations, and guiding people in building emergency response operations. Among the uses cases of indoor localization, occupancy detection is shown to be the most critical one, considering the large share of built environments in total ene...
An Investigation of building information modeling maturity in turkish small-medium size enterprises architectural and engineering firms
Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2017)
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experiences Building Information Modeling (BIM) transition process in all over the world. As the firms have advanced on BIM implementation, a necessity to benchmark the BIM performance has emerged. A couple of assessment tools were released for the sector to be used by organizations, individuals and governments to benchmark the BIM implementation maturity. The architecture and engineering firms in Turkey are also in the midst of BIM transition. Howev...
