Automated code compliance checks with BIM : master thesis no.: 279/II. GR-BIM

Mediano Corona, Vicente (author), Cerovšek, Tomo (mentor)

Compliance checks are crucial for ensuring the quality, accuracy, and regulatory compliance of building design projects. However, the industry's current manual workflows for code compliance checks often result in time and money loss, re-work, and frustration. This study presents a mixed-approach research methodology to automate BIM compliance checks and address these challenges. The methodology incorporates qualitative and quantitative methods and an applied research approach. The qualitative methods involve rule interpretation using classification and encoding systems and rule translation using the RASE (Requirements, Applicability, Selection, and Exception) Methodology and AI-language models. In contrast, the quantitative methods focus on model standardisation, visual programming, and Automated Code Compliance Check graphs. The developed framework aims to automate compliance checks for general regulations and provide a practical solution for efficient and regulatory-compliant building design processes. The methodology is applied to a real-world case scenario, demonstrating its effectiveness in streamlining the compliance checking process. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of BIM-based compliance checking methodologies and offer practical insights for industry professionals. Ultimately, this research seeks to improve the overall quality and effectiveness of building design projects by automating compliance checks in a seamless and adaptable manner.

• Title: Avtomatizirano preverjanje skladnosti s predpisi v BIM : magistrsko delo

Abstract

Preverjanje skladnosti s predpisi je ključnega pomena za zagotavljanje kakovosti, točnosti in ustreznosti gradbenih projektov. Ustaljeni, ročni, načini preverjanja skladnosti s predpisi so dragi in časovno potratni ter pogosto zahtevajo ponovno delo. Pričujoča študija podaja znanstveno metodologijo za interdisciplinarni pristop k presoji, izvedbi in implementaciji avtomatizacije preverjanja skladnosti s predpisi z na osnovi BIM. Metodologija vključuje kvalitativne in kvantitativne metode ter aplikativen pristop. Kvalitativne metode vključujejo uporabo razlage pravil, klasifikacijske in kodirne sisteme ter prevajanje pravil z uporabo metodologije RASE (angl. Requirements, Applicability, Selection, and Exception) in jezikovne modele umetne inteligence.Kvantitativne metode se osredotočajo na standardizacijo in temeljijo na vizualnim programiranju in avtomatiziciji grafov za preverjanje skladnosti s predpisi. Namen razvitega okvira je avtomatizirati preverjanje skladnosti s predpisi in izdelati praktično rešitev za bolj učinkovito in konsistentno načrtovanje. V sklepnem delu naloge dmonstriramo uporabo metodologije, na osnovi katere prikažemo njeno učinkovitost pri racionalizaciji avtomatizacije postopka preverjanja skladnosti. Ugotovitve te študije prispevajo k napredku avtomatizacije preverjanja skladnosti na osnovi BIM, saj metodologija nudi praktično rešitev za strokovnjake. Z rezultati te raziskava želimo prispevati tudi k povečanju kakovosti in učinkovitosti načrtovanja stavb, ki temelji na postopni avtomatizaciji preverjanja skladnosti na prilagodljiv in sledljiv način.
