QA MODEL CHECKER
+ DIGITAL VALIDATION TOOL

CLIENT

Hansen Yuncken is one of Australia’s premier privately owned construction companies, renowned for its leadership in change and innovation within the building industry. Established in Victoria in 1918 by Lauritz Hansen and Otto Yuncken, the company has been operating continuously for over a century.

CHALLENGE

When using BIM data, several checks were essential before proceeding with construction:

  • Compliance: Did the model actually comply with the required standards?

  • Duplicate Elements: Were there any duplicate elements?

  • Warnings: Did any elements have warnings?

  • Modeling Practices: Were there in-place families or any poor modeling practices?

Ensuring the model’s fidelity was crucial, as using a flawed model downstream could lead to costly rework if these issues were not addressed.
Because if the model fidelity isn't good, using it in these other areas downstream doesn't work and this can lead to expensive rework if not checked.

HOW AUTONOMATION SOLVED IT

AUTONOMATION developed a solution that automatically set up the links and enabled an Excel feature to export the data required for QA/QC. Once automated, the data was uploaded into a database, allowing the team to extract and analyse this specific data outside of Revit. These results could then be shared with all stakeholders automatically, without requiring expertise in authoring software.

CLIENT OUTCOME SUCCESS

Project management could now run reports at the schematic, detailed, and construction documentation stages quickly to assess where there was noncompliance in the BIM data. This provided immediate transparency into the data and reduced risk for teams downstream using that data for costing, fabrication, and site operations.
