BIM Model Compliance Checker

Scale your BIM delivery with compliance

Our BIM Model Compliance Checker eliminates the hidden cost of non-compliant BIMs by enforcing standards automatically. It helps owners, PMCs, EPCs, designers, and operations teams to handover quality models, ensure governance, deliver reliable asset data and digital twin readiness.

BIM Model Compliance Checker

CCTech’s BIM Model Compliance Checker can be used in two ways:

1) As an enterprise tool across the organization for multiple projects/vendors
2) As a managed compliance service (pilot → rollout → governance)

It’s useful for:
  • Clients/developers ensuring BIM compliance across the projects.
  • PMCs and BIM managers who oversee model governance and acceptance steps.
  • EPCs who need to put together work from many different trades and handover models.
  • Designers who need dependable QA/QC before they submit work.
  • Operations teams require reliable asset information for handover/digital twin readiness

What it achieves

Better submissions – Fewer issues for owners’ review
Quicker acceptance – Lesser back and forth and resubmissions
Consistent governance – Same rules applied to everyone and every part of the project
Evidence for audits – Proof of compliance at each stage of submission.
Handover preparation – Improved asset data for operations and digital twin projects.
Evaluation Criteria
Information Completeness & Data Quality
  • Required parameters specific to each object type or trade
  • Classification validations (UniClass/OmniClass/custom codes)
  • Asset information necessary for handover processes
  • Verification of IFC properties regarding PSET presence and essential fields
Standards Compliance (Naming & Structure)
  • Adherence to naming conventions concerning views/sheets/worksets/levels/grids
  • Consistency in family/type names and their associated parameters
  • Regulations governing separation of trades within model construction
  • Submission guidelines covering file types/folders/versioning
Coordinates, Levels, and Coordination Readiness
  • Validation that shared coordinates/origin points are consistent
  • Level height assessments alongside grid alignment checks
  • Identification of duplicates or overlaps where rules may be applied
  • Evaluating if the model's complexity could hinder performance
Model Health & Readiness
  • Summary report detailing warnings along with imposed limits
  • Detection of missing/broken links or references
  • Recommendations on tidying up unused/bloated families
  • Assessments confirming readiness for publication
Submission Gate Assessment (Pass/Fail + Scoring)
  • Established pass/fail thresholds per trade/package
  • Compliance reports tracking changes over time
  • Documentation managing controlled modifications when exceptions arise

Enterprise Tool Capability

Autodesk Integration and Compliance Framework

Autodesk often serves as the principal system, yet it can also be integrated into other systems utilized by clients.
Supported Standards and Rule Sources :
  • Requirements for BEP / MIDP / TIDP submissions.
  • Client-specific BIM standards encompassing naming conventions, parameters, and classifications.
  • Information management protocols aligned with ISO 19650 wherever applicable.
  • IFC requirements including property sets, classifications, and mandatory fields
  • Checklists for handover preparation assessing asset list completeness along with O&M details.

Tool Ecosystem Overview

Model Sources : – Autodesk Revit (RVT), Navisworks (NWC/NWD), IFC formats such as IFC2x3/IFC4
Automation Layer: – Autodesk Platform Services (APS) complemented by custom validators from CCTech
CDE & Workflow Management: – Utilizing Autodesk Construction Cloud tools like Docs/Issues or client’s proprietary systems

Dashboards typically powered by Power BI or equivalent Business Intelligence solutions used by clients
Deliverables Scope

Establishment of Rule Library

Supported Standards and Rule Sources :
  • Gather requirements from stakeholders including those responsible in conjunction with the Business Execution Planning group.
  • Organize these needs into structured rule sets categorized by subject matter pertaining to various models.
  • Define severity levels correlating scores triggering actions based on compliance status; establish who is authorized to bypass rules while documenting any deviations noted during oversight.
  • Deliverables: Rule matrix, rule library, thresholds, governance policy.

Pilot Testing Phase

  • Conduct trials applying established rules across a representative array of models ensuring accuracy in functionality accompanied by correct reporting outputs.
  • Fine-tune scoring mechanisms aligning them more closely with manual verification expectations encountered during reviews.
  • Deliverables: Pilot compliance report, baseline score, calibrated rules.

Automation Of The Submission Process And Reporting

  • Integrate automated rule evaluations throughout work submission workflows.
  • Facilitate automatic generation compliance reports accompanying every submitted package.
  • Visual dashboards summarizing weekly/monthly adherence data collected through ongoing monitoring efforts
  • Deliverables: submission gate workflow, scorecards, reporting packs.

An issue tracking system, while not mandatory, is highly beneficial

  • It provides automatic notifications for failed checks, detailing the nature and severity of the issue, as well as its precise location within the project files.
  • Issues are directed to the relevant team leaders responsible for that segment of the work, allowing us to estimate resolution times and assess how effectively the revised work performs upon resubmission.

A strategy for implementing this across the entire organization for all projects

  • Ensure uniformity in rules across all projects and suppliers, guaranteeing consistent adherence to legal requirements globally.
  • Maintaining a transparent record of changes facilitates open management of alterations and allows for regular evaluation of whether our fundamental strategies are effective
  • Deliverables:  A comprehensive toolkit for company-wide implementation, a schedule for governance reviews, and visual representations showing the progress of various projects.

Common Use Cases

  • The person in charge wants the same BIM standards from all EPCs and consultants.
  • The PMC needs a way to measure whether submissions are okay before accepting them
  • An EPC wants repeated QA/QC checks on models from different subjects.
  • The handover team needs to know all the asset information is there for running things and for a digital twin.

Engagement Options

  • Rule Library Setup (a short piece of work)
  • Project Pilot + Compliance Gate Setup
  • Enterprise Tool Development + Multi-Project Rollout
  • Managed Compliance Service (monthly scoring + rule control)
