In China, Building Information Modeling is commonly recognized as the English term for Building Information Modeling, abbreviated as BIM.
The Director of the Engineering Quality and Safety Supervision Department at the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development describes BIM as a data-driven tool applied in engineering design and construction management. It integrates diverse project-related information through parametric models and facilitates sharing and transmission throughout the entire project lifecycle—including planning, operation, and maintenance.
This approach enables engineering and technical personnel to accurately interpret and efficiently respond to various building information. It also lays the foundation for collaborative work among design teams, construction entities, and building operation units. BIM plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and shortening construction timelines.
Quality control data—such as inspection results, testing data, acceptance records, and final completion verifications—are essential components of construction project documentation. BIM technology allows for comprehensive collection of this engineering data.
According to the “Regulations for the Management of Construction Engineering Data” and the classification standards set by the construction unit, quality control data is gathered during project execution, organized by prescribed categories, and then uploaded synchronously to the BIM model. This ensures the authenticity and timeliness of quality data.
Moreover, integrating the BIM platform with mobile devices enables real-time recording of quality-related information. By installing information application software on mobile terminals, on-site managers can easily document quality acceptance statuses and field conditions. These devices automatically generate records of quality acceptance, non-conforming products, quality rectifications, and actual measurements, which are then transmitted to the BIM platform.
The platform’s data management system stores quality control information throughout the entire process and builds a comprehensive database. Project participants can access this quality control data within the BIM model at any time. After statistical archiving, various quality management data are extracted according to management regulations to produce complete and compliant completion documentation.
