BIM QUALITYASSURANCE ANDVALIDATION CHECKLIST
Whatis BIMQA/AC?
BriefIntroduction
Quality Assurance (QA) is done after every BIM modeling project for each system and is used to eliminate errors. BIM QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) refers to the checking of the BIM model if various BIM standards have complied. The 3D BIM model is inspected for clashes, improper naming, and other inconsistencies. The output you get after BIM QA/QC process is a clean ready to use BIM model without any inconsistencies, with all systems coordinated.
Whatis BIMQA/QC Checklist?
The BIM QA/QC checklist is nothing more than a tool that will assist you in creating an organized process, helping you to maintain repetitious activities, fostering a good design habit within the project team, and assisting team members in memorizing task sequences in a Quality Assurance process, among other things.
BenefitsofBIMQA/QC
DESIGN MODEL VALIDATION
By ensuring that the 3D BIM model is perfect and can be referenced while construction makes the QA/QC analysis an easy task.
RISK MITIGATION
COST CONTROL
The future risk associated with a 3D BIM Model which is not quality verified including unforeseen design clashes can be fixed beforehand in the model.
SAVES COMPANY
REPUTATION
Accurate clash free 3D BIM models limit the wastage of materials and thus save the cost of materials.
Errors in the BIM model can affect the company's reputation. Doing QA/QC of the BIM model before providing it for construction is important.
BIMQA/AC Checklist
For your convenience, we have provided you with a simplified BIM QA/QC checklist that you can use to streamline your BIM QA/QC process. Depending on your project, the checklist may alter slightly from the sample below. Always remember not to passively follow someone else's checklist, and to tailor your BIM QA/QC processes to the specifics of your project rather than the other way around.
1.GeneralCheck
GENERAL CHECK
CHECKLIST
Visual check of the model
Placement of origin point
Naming of Project, Site, and Building
Naming of storeys of the building
Mapping of IFC class for all objects in the model
Tagging all objects, and correct use of LOD parameter
Naming of rooms in the model
The general definitions of the 3D BIM model are confirmed by the general quality check. The requirements include adequate accuracy and naming of components.

2.SpaceCheck
SPACE CHECK CHECKLIST
1. 2. 3. 4.
Checking the area of space within the error range
Checking each floor space area
The space program's space number and name are being verified
Checking of space number unique identifier in BIM data
Space check criteria include reviewing space components, names, areas, and clashes between spaces in the BIM for the building's space programming.
3.DesignCheck
DESIGN CHECK
CHECKLIST
Match architectural property lines with civil property lines
Match architectural building dimensions with structural
Definition of the specific types and required properties like object’ s material
Design check criteria are related to the checking of BIM data quality generated in the architectural design process.

4.MEPCheck
MEP CHECK
CHECKLIST
1. 2. 3. 4.
MEP plan matches the architectural and structural plan
All equipment shown on the plans
All equipment shown on the schedules
MEP clash coordination
The necessary model requirements for the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) are checked for clashes and if they are represented in drawings and schedules.
CONSTRUCTION CHECK
CHECKLIST
1. 2.
Clash coordination between different building objects like beams, columns, and beams
Clash coordination between the same kind of building objects
5.Construction Check
Construction check criteria are used to assess the structural quality of BIM data. Clash checking between construction objects like columns, beams, slabs, etc. is one of these requirements.
6.ModelRevision
MODEL REVISION
When checking the quality of a 3D model, a checklist is used. Revit section views can be used to check for any deviations in the design. In this way, clash detection and coordination between trades are simplified and can be used to measure discrepancies and the 3D BIM model is revised accordingly.

BIMQA/QCusing SolibriModel Checker(SMC) Software
Solibri Model Checker (SMC) is software that assesses BIM models to check their quality and to find any defects. SMC simplifies and expedites the process of BIM QA/QC. Running a building’s 3D BIM model through SMC before construction helps in exposing hidden flaws and weaknesses in the design. SMC selects the components and verifies that the BIM model complies with the applicable building codes and organizational best practices.
Conclusion
By using a checklist for BIM Quality Assurance and Quality Control a clash free and coordinated BIM model can be created which can be used for the building construction process.
Construction contractors employ the exact data provided by these models to create the structure, hence Quality Assurance is critical within the AEC business.
Cost, scheduling, and even company reputation all be impacted by project errors.
