Abstract
The New Taipei City Government developed a Code-checking System (CCS) using Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to facilitate an architectural design review in 2014. This system was intended to solve problems caused by cognitive gaps between designer and reviewer in the design review process. Along with considering information technology, the most important issue for the system’s development has been the logicalization of literal building codes. Therefore, to enhance the reliability and performance of the CCS, this study uses the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) on the basis of design thinking and communication theory to investigate the semantic difference and cognitive gaps among participants in the design review process and to propose the direction of system development. Our empirical results lead us to recommend grouping multi-stage screening and weighted assisted logicalization of non-quantitative building codes to improve the operability of CCS. Furthermore, CCS should integrate the Expert Evaluation System (EES) to evaluate the design value under qualitative building codes.
Highlights
In the last decade, the global standard for communication tools of architectural design has gradually changed from Computer-aided Design (CAD) to the application of Building InformationModeling (BIM)

The purpose of an architectural design review is to have an administrator confirm that building designs conform to building rules
Summary
The global standard for communication tools of architectural design has gradually changed from Computer-aided Design (CAD) to the application of Building InformationModeling (BIM). The global standard for communication tools of architectural design has gradually changed from Computer-aided Design (CAD) to the application of Building Information. The second edition of the BIM Handbook defines BIM as a modeling technology and associated tool set to produce, communicate, and analyze building models [1]. It has been found that this technology can be used during the design process to achieve the function of design communication. The recent development of the technology is still in the early stage for the building and construction industry. The tech is mostly used by designers and constructors to prevent communication barriers in the construction stage, and for constructors and users to discuss facility management in the use stage. Since 2014, the New Taipei City Government in Taiwan has progressively invested resources to develop
