Abstract

Abstract Building information modeling is a complex and structure-based methodology. It applies predefined steps and frameworks; however, an audit procedure can be complicated and time-consuming. The steps of the evaluations are based on logical connections that also form algorithms in a manual workflow. Algorithms can be interpreted by computers with the help of software languages. A higher level of automation, more efficient workflows, and more economical and accurate results can be developed by using algorithms.

Highlights

The first phase of the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is usually called “Classic BIM”, which means a methodology of creating models after completing construction design
Some rules have been developed based on predefined steps to comply with the final goals of audit processes that have been the creation of perfect models
The result of the test is an algorithm that can be used for auditing documents and BIM models with the same data structure (Table 2)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The first phase of the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is usually called “Classic BIM”, which means a methodology of creating models after completing construction design. As a result of technology development, an increasing number of BIM uses have been revealed that require the creation of more accurate information models and a higher level of precision [2] These are facility management and documentation-based BIM methods [3]. Some rules have been developed based on predefined steps (forming simple algorithms) to comply with the final goals of audit processes that have been the creation of perfect models. In the past, these have been mainly manual audit workflows involving some clash detection software. This research supports its feasibility and usage possibilities through test situations according to real project experiences
