Abstract ABSTRACT The academic researchers and the construction industry practitioners consistently strive to implement systems capable of managing, monitoring, and optimizing the tracking of time and cost, while also incorporating various aspects, including the evaluation of quality issues impact on time and cost efficiency. Accordingly, emphasizing the integration of Earned Value Management (EVM) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) taking quality management into consideration has become a crucial requirement. The main objectives of this study are to incorporate quality management into BIM technology and enhance monitoring of project’s time and cost performance via addressing the effect of quality issues on EVM measures (variances, indices and forecasts); that would support making the proper decisions to restore the original plan’s progress. To achieve the main objectives of this study, a BIM-based model is developed employing two BIM software packages from Autodesk: Revit and Navisworks. In addition, the Primavera P6 software is used for project scheduling throughout its lifecycle. Integration and implementation of these software applications and different components of the proposed model are achieved using the capabilities of Application Programming Interface (API) and C# as a powerful programming language. |
