Abstract
Research in Quality Control (QC) process digitalisation has principally focused on novel technologies for data acquisition and processing during construction. In contrast, this manuscript focuses on the planning phase and proposes a method that analyses the as-planned 4D Building Information Model (‘BIM model’) to obtain: (1) an exhaustive list of all geometric QC instances to be checked during construction; (2) and an initial schedule of when these checks can be conducted. A rule-based approach is employed to identify the geometric QC instances in the BIM model represented as a graph. The method is demonstrated with three real case studies, including building and rail infrastructure projects, with geometric specifications encoded from the EN 13670 and EN 1090–2 standards as well as other relevant industry sources. The list of QC instances outputted by the method can be used as-is by QC surveyors and managers, or can serve as input to automated QC technologies.
