Abstract

Received 9 January 2015; received in revised form 24 March 2015; accepted 25 March 2015ABSTRACTBuilding Information Modeling (BIM) provides many advantages when it is adopted in virtualdesign construction, to analyze constructability, etc. For this reason, advanced countries havemade it mandatory to adopt BIM in public construction projects. The Korea Public Procure-ment Service announced that from 2016, BIM adoption will be mandatory in every construc-tion project in Korea. Currently, however, it is not possible to fully adopt BIM in the buildingdesign process domestically because BIM-based systems have not been used broadly in Korea’sbuilding approval system (Seumter). In this research, four challenges were drawn from a focusgroup interview. Focusing on tackling one challenge, this paper reviewed previous research intobuilding approval systems and the building approval systems of Singapore, the U.K. and theU.S., and identified elements of the building approval application process and presents a sys-tem to create and manage the information. The system supports the creation and management ofinformation and 2D drawings from an IFC-based BIM model. We expect that the system willencourage designers to use BIM from the beginning of the design process and ultimatelyincrease the efficiency of design in a BIM-based project.Key Words:Architectural Administration System, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Build-ing approval system, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), Seumter
