Using Building Information Modeling to Transform the Building Codes Compliance Process
BIM-enabled building code compliance is expected to become an essential component of future building construction practices. The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the adoption of building information modeling (BIM). BIM allows project stakeholders to more effectively define, communicate, and address issues. Yet there are areas in the construction industry not yet taking advantage of the full potential of BIM. For example, the building code development and compliance checking process has yet to be integrated with BIM on a large scale. Numerous attempts have been made to automate code compliance indicating that automation is an aspiration in the industry. One impetus for this movement is that previous and current processes surrounding development of and compliance with building codes and design standards has become increasingly cumbersome over the past three decades. Recent improvements in processing power have allowed advances in BIM technology using machine learning. In an industry that is seeking ways to increase productivity, changing the current code development and compliance checking processes by incorporating BIM and machine learning would have a significantly positive impact on the industry. This paper examines issues around transformation of the code development and compliance process.
