Improvement measures for quality control in structural works assessment by using building information modelling

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides significant advantages to the construction players throughout information sharing, features and functions. In building construction should be quality-oriented in which BIM assist a lot in providing quality protection to ensure that the building construction in a good quality standard. In line with that, from the good quality standards could lead to high return on investment (ROI). This paper aims to propose the improvement measure for Quality Control by using BIM through its objectives by identify; (1) the current problems among Quality Control for Structural Works Assessment; (2) to investigate the key elements of Quality Control for Structural Works Assessment and; (3) to propose the improvement measures of Quality Control by using BIM. A literature review was put through to review the correlation between BIM and Quality Control. This study involved a qualitative approach. The data will be collected through interview sessions. The overall data will be analyzed by using a qualitative content analysis technique. Besides, reviewing the journals and handbooks also part of tools to gather data. Therefore, this study can serve as a reference in terms of improve project quality and directly shall support the Industrial Revolution 4.0 roadmap for the construction industry in 2020 and onwards. This in return, reduces the common problems experienced in construction projects that employ conventional methods, thus minimizing losses and saving time and cost.
