SMC and BIM Use Cases
What good is data if you don't know its accuracy, completeness, or compliance with an established requirement?
If you are modeling to support any of the requirements below, SMC should be part of your workflow.
- COBie/O&M/Facility Management
- LOD
- Model QA/QC
- Code Compliance (AutoCodes)
- Construction Site Safety
- Owner Space Audits
- Automation
- Coordination
- BIM Guidelines & Requirements
- As-built verification and validation
- Risk Mitigation
- BIM Validation and Verification
- Model Comparison
- GSA - Spatial Validation
- Information Takeoff - Estimating
Model QA/QC - Model Structure - This extremely powerful checking template is unique, yet very easy to understand and apply. The template uses 'check boxes' to define the specific checks to be executed, providing you with true flexibility.

BIM Validation - Using the Component Distance Rule to Verify Compliance - All modeling is not equal. Some is very good, but there are many examples of sloppy or inconsistent efforts, as well. We will take a look at a rule that can be used to make sure objects are not left in random locations.
Please follow this link to better understand this specific rule:
