A 6D BIM INTEGRATED DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN CONTROLLING CONSTRUCTION QUALITY THROUGHOUT PROJECT LIFE CYCLE

Abstract

The implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in quality management (QM) is critical for improving project efficiency and reducing reworks. However, the current applications of BIM in QM are primarily limited to the design stage. This study proposes a 6D BIM integrated lifecycle QM framework that provides retroactive data management throughout the project lifecycle. The integrated platform includes three components: infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for storing hybrid databases with physical and virtual data, platform as a service (PaaS) for providing BIM data and model interfaces, and software as a service (SaaS) for datamodel management with BIM API and applications.
