 Class summary

The idea of using BIM Model in Facility management has been raised for many years. One major
reason why it is not widely adopted in the market is the mismatch between as-built model and built
structure. Using the Reality Capture technology, the scan data of the built structure can be collected
and use for as-built model verification. A list of discrepancies between scan data and as-built model
would be produced which team members can validate the results and amend the as-built model
when appropriate.

This class will identify the workflow when using Revit to verify the as-built model with the scan data
as well as the possible follow-up actions. A third party Revit plugin is used for scan data
identification with model category and perform model checking using point cloud. A sample case
will be explored to demonstrate the suggested workflow.

 Problems

 As-built record in Construction stage

 As-maintained Model in Post-construction stage

As-maintained Model:
The BIM model should reflect the reality condition of building
throughout the building operation process, and keep updating if any
modification on the field.
