Implementation of Building Information Modeling for BIM-Based Model Quality Checking in the Design Stage:

A Case Study of Irish Student Accommodation Building.

Problem Statement: The reason for selecting this topic is because the literature says that currently there is no best practice for implementing high-level consistency BMC of 3D models. 3D model errors inevitably lead to failures in model coordination, future uses of the models such as 4D (geometry + time) and 5D (geometry + time + costs) or Facility Management because information is missing or isn’t relevant for defined purposes.

Research Question: What effects does a high-level consistency BIM-based Model Quality Checking (BMC) have on the use of model(s) throughout the stages of the project, and how can BMC be effectively used to meet project requirements?
