How can the application of BIM model improve the quality of building construction?

BIM (Building Information Modeling) model has a variety of applications in improving the quality of building construction, mainly including the following aspects:
3D visualizationand collaborative Design
Multi-professional collaborative optimization: In the BIM model, the professional designers can integrate their own design results into a unified three-dimensional model. Through visualization, design conflicts between different specialties can be intuitively found, such as the collision between building structures and electromechanical pipes, and the space overlap between HVAC systems and fire protection systems. Solving these problems in time before construction avoids design changes and rework in the construction process, thus ensuring the construction quality.
Visual simulation of construction scheme: Using BIM model, the construction team can perform visual simulation of the construction process. For example, the complex construction process, the hoisting process of large equipment, the pouring sequence of concrete, etc., are rehearsed. Through simulation, problems that may occur in the construction process can be found in advance, such as insufficient construction space and unreasonable construction sequence, so as to optimize the construction scheme, ensure the smooth progress of the construction process and improve the construction quality.
Accurate engineering quantity calculation and material management
Accurate engineering quantity statistics: The BIM model contains a wealth of building information, and can accurately calculate the engineering quantity of various building components, such as the amount of concrete, steel, wood, etc. This helps construction companies to make precise material purchase plans to avoid waste and shortage of materials. At the same time, accurate engineering quantity calculation also provides a basis for cost control, to ensure the reasonable use of materials and reduce costs under the premise of ensuring construction quality.

Material quality tracking: In a BIM model, information about materials, such as specifications, models, manufacturers, quality inspection reports, etc. can be associated with components in the model. In this way, during the construction process, the construction personnel can easily view the information of the materials, ensure that the materials used meet the design requirements, and achieve effective tracking and management of the quality of materials.
Construction schedule management and quality control
Schedule and model association: The construction schedule plan and BIM model are combined to form a 4D construction schedule model. Through this model, construction managers can clearly see the state of the building model corresponding to each construction stage and monitor the construction progress in real time. If there is a deviation between the actual progress and the planned progress, the reasons can be analyzed in time and corresponding measures can be taken to adjust, so as to avoid the deterioration of construction quality caused by the delay of the construction period.
Quality inspection and acceptance: BIM model is used for inspection and acceptance of construction quality. In the construction process, the actual construction situation is compared with the BIM model to check whether the construction meets the design requirements. For example, check the verticality and flatness of the wall, and whether the installation position of the doors and Windows is accurate. For the parts that do not meet the requirements, timely rectification is carried out to ensure that the quality of each process meets the standard.
Safety management and quality assurance
Safety risk identification: Based on BIM model and combined with the actual situation of the construction site, the safety risk of the construction site is identified and analyzed. For example, identify possible safety hazards in high work, side openings, construction machinery, etc., and mark them in the model. By formulating the corresponding safety protection measures in advance, the occurrence of safety accidents can be reduced and the quality of construction can be guaranteed. Because the occurrence of safety accidents will often have a negative impact on the construction progress and quality.
Safety training and education: Use BIM models for safety training and education. Through the virtual simulation technology, the construction personnel can feel the safety risk of the construction site, understand the safety operation procedures and emergency treatment measures. Improve the safety awareness and self-protection ability of construction personnel, thereby indirectly ensuring the construction quality.
Quality support during operation and maintenance phase
As-built model delivery: After the completion of construction, the BIM model will be delivered to the owner as part of the completion data. The as-built model contains all the information in the building construction process, such as building structure, equipment installation, pipeline layout, etc. This provides the owner with accurate information support in the operation and maintenance stage, facilitates the owner to carry out equipment maintenance, facility renovation and other work, helps to maintain the good condition of the building, extends the service life of the building, and in the long run, is also a guarantee for the construction quality of the building.
Fault diagnosis and maintenance: In the operation and maintenance stage, when the construction equipment fails, the BIM model can be used to quickly locate the location of the faulty equipment and related information, such as the model of the equipment, installation time, maintenance records, etc. This helps maintenance personnel to timely and accurate fault diagnosis and maintenance, improve maintenance efficiency, reduce the impact of equipment failures on building functions, ensure the normal operation of the building, and reflect the continuous support role of BIM model for construction quality.
