Capstone Title: Implementation of Building Information Modeling for BIM-Based Model Quality Checking in the Design
Stage: A Case Study of Irish Student Accommodation Building.
Problem Statement: The reason for selecting this topic is because the literature says that currently there is no best practice for implementing high-level consistency BMC of 3D models. 3D model errors inevitably lead to failures in model coordination, future uses of the models such as 4D (geometry + time) and 5D (geometry + time + costs) or Facility Management because information is missing or isn’t relevant for defined purposes.
Research Question: What effects does a high-level consistency BIM-based Model Quality Checking (BMC) have on the use of model(s) throughout the stages of the project, and how can BMC be effectively used to meet project requirements?
The purpose of this research is to analyse a BIM-based Model Quality Checking to improve the quality of the BIM projects depending on project requirements. Detailed methods and procedures for model quality control are lacking.
Therefore, to address this gap, a detailed plan that defines the scope of the requirements for a high-level consistency BIM-based Model Quality Checking is needed. To achieve this, the research will appraise a BMC that provides detailed guideline for model quality checking. The research will present comprehensive checks with which 3D models can be systematically examined for possible errors with significant impact on project costs and project duration.
