Tiivistelmä
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to introduce the importance of having a flawless BIM for a construction project in the design phase. What guidelines have been set in place for designers to help them produce a BIM with a certain level of standard. The thesis also discussed the main design requirements used in Finland, namely common BIM requirements. For a quality BIM, the model quality needs to be verified and one of the main programmes used for BIM validation Solibri model checker (SMC) was discussed. It was important to find out how designers in Finland use the requirements and how they validate their BIM models using SMC.
For the goal to be achieved, a theoretical text review of BIM, was done and how quality management can be implemented on the model produced by designers, and how to do quality and quantity validation of the same was about. The usage of the requirement and validation of BIM, a user survey was conducted to Solibri customers which would provide important information of how the users interact with the software.
The research results showed that having a quality validation software like Solibri Model Checker, makes correction easier in the early stages of design construction. The study also showed the importance of having quality BIM towards achieving sustainability of structures produced.
The research also provided the company with a generic view of how their customers are use their software, possible development areas, where to put more effort in marketing their product, and how well their customers are satisfied with their product. With these results, is the company able to channel their resources in the right direction with the aim of meeting their customer’s needs.
