1. 20 STEPS CHECKLIST FOR
BIM QUALITY ASSURANCE
AND VALIDATION

2. INTRODUCTION
Have you ever dreamt of a construction project with zero surprises? Where
clashes are detected before they become concrete nightmares, and data flows
smoothly between the disciplines created? Well, it may sound fascinating, but it
is not! Building Information Modeling (BIM) has transformed the construction
world, where you can see how projects are designed, planned, and executed!
Today, BIM models are brimming with data used for everything from design
collaboration to facility management. But just like a finely working engine, BIM
requires a regular check-up, and that is where you need the BIM Quality
Assurance and Validation Checklist.
With this checklist, BIM consultants can systematically validate their work,
ensuring consistency and delivering high-quality models that surpass client
expectations!
With the BIM Quality Assurance and Validation Checklist in hand, you're well on
your way to achieving a project that is built to deliver only positive outcomes.

3. WHAT IS QA QC IN BIM?
QA (Quality Assurance): Quality Assurance is a proactive
approach that will not let errors pass through the BIM model.
The QA method is practically executed throughout the modeling
stages for each discipline!
Quality Control (QC): Quality Control is a reactive approach
that involves identifying and correcting errors that do make it
into the model. QC checks are performed after specific model
completions.

WHY USE A BIM QUALITY ASSURANCE
CHECKLIST?
Consistency & Standardization
Error Prevention & Early Detection
Improved Communication & Collaboration
If you have a checklist ready, you can be assured
of the consistency and quality of 3D BIM
modeling services used across different project
phases and among various team members!
checklist also ensures that all aspects of the BIM
model adhere to industry standards such as ISO
19650 and project-specific requirements.
BIM QA And Validation Checklist allows for early
identification and correction of all probable
errors, reducing the risk of costly mistakes later
in the project. Regular checks on MEP remove
the clashes & integration issues so that the
building system can work together seamlessly.
QA/QC has defined & clear guidelines for team
members and ensuring everyone is on the same
page.A curated QA/QC checklist fosters better
communication & coordination among
stakeholders, such as architects, engineers, &
contractors.
03
Efficiency & Time Savings
A checklist streamlines the QA/QC process,
making it more efficient and less time-
consuming. By ensuring that all necessary checks
are well executed in the model, the checklist
helps in meeting project deadlines and
milestones.

WHY USE A BIM QUALITY ASSURANCE
CHECKLIST?
Documentation & Accountability
Risk Management
Cost Control
The BIM QA and Validation Checklist efficiently
records all the QA/QC activities, which can be
used for future reference and accountability.
Further, it offers transparency for all
stakeholders, ensuring quality standards are
met and documented.
A checklist manages & identifies risks at the
earliest stage in the project, minimizing the
likelihood of issues during construction.
The checklist will identify errors and issues that
control cost and avoid expensive rework.
07
Quality and Performance
When all the quality and control boxes are ticked,
the final output of the BIM model will be high-
quality and error-free! Optimizing performance
in the building will also ensure that all systems
are correctly integrated and positioned as
intended.

10. BENEFITS OF BIM QA/QC
DESIGN MODEL VALIDATION
Clash Detection & Elimination
Enhanced Design Accuracy Improved Cost Management
BIM QA/QC powerfully proves this
because it identifies clashes
between different disciplines
(architectural, structural, MEP)
within the Revit BIM models.
BIM QA/QC scrutinizes the Revit
model for missing elements,
incorrect data, and modeling
errors.
Construction is a complex zone
where even minor missteps can
lead to budget overruns. BIM
QA/QC helps identify material
waste & construction inefficiencies
right at the beginning.
Streamlined Communication &
Collaboration
By showcasing errors in the Revit
model using BIM Coordination
Services, all stakeholders,
architects, engineers, and
contractors stay on the same
page.
Reduced Risk & Increased
Project Value
BIM QA/QC reduces the risk of
unforeseen issues arising during
construction, leading to a safer
and more predictable project
outcome.

11. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, BIM QA/QC Design Model Validation work as your safety partner
in your construction project, it's an investment that pays dividends throughout
the project lifecycle.
