METHOD FOR PROPAGATING INFORMATION BETWEEN A BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL AND A SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT

摘要

A method includes receiving, at a computer system, data exported from a Building Information Model (BIM). The exported data is indicative of a first plurality of sets of units and values, each set associated uniquely with a different element defined in the BIM. The computer system parses a specification document to identify a second plurality of sets of units and values, each set associated uniquely with a different element listed in the specification document. The computer system compares the first plurality of sets of units and values to the second plurality of sets of units and values, and automatically identifies a set of units and values that is a member of only one of the first plurality of sets of units and values and the second plurality of sets of units and values. An inconsistency between the elements listed in the specification document and the elements defined in the BIM is registered automatically.
