Abstract:

The building information modelling (BIM) approach, which is utilized to retain information in a digital format, facilitates easy information updating and transfer in the three-dimensional (3D) CAD environment. When the application of BIM models are adopted in the project, the inspection and the inspection and modification records of BIM models are necessary to be communicated and managed effectively. However, emails, one of the most convenient ways, is selected and adapted as a communication tool among BIM manager, BIM engineers, and supervisions during the BIM models inspection and modification process. Also, it cannot record and manage the BIM models inspection and modification information and results effectively during the process. Therefore, this study develops a web-based BIM models inspection and modification management system integrated with workflow management. Concepts for supervisions to enhance BIM models inspection and modification work efficiency. The proposed system is applied to a case study of a building project in Taiwan to verify its efficacy. Finally, the study identifies the major benefits, limitation, and facing problems throughout the case study.
