Digital transformation of quality management in the construction industry during the execution phase by integration of building information modeling (BIM) and cloud computing

: The quality of construction projects significantly impacts social and economic development. However, low quality and project failure often result from factors such as lack of quality procedures, poor communication, task coordination, and inefficient progress monitoring. This research aims to improve the efficiency of the construction phase by creating quality control checklists for processes and enhancing quality management through a collaborative digital environment integrating building information modeling (BIM) and cloud computing. Expert constructive interviews were first conducted to define a construction process quality control procedure to be linked to the 3DBIM model and then transition to a collaborative cloud environment (Autodesk Construction Cloud). An actual instance in Latakia City (Syria) demonstrated that the proposed methodology improves the efficiency and effectiveness of quality management during the implementation phase. It does so by offering a robust database, enhancing on-site quality information extraction from BIM models using smartphones, documenting defects and entering inspection data directly into a shared digital environment, and making it easier to track corrective actions and feedback. This facilitates constant and organized access to current data, reducing errors and rework, saving money and time, and enhancing decision-making speed and effectiveness. The search recommends the necessity of strict laws to adhere to quality procedures and the importance of providing infrastructure for digital transformation in quality management.


Introduction
Construction project success is largely dependent on quality management since timely and cost-effective project execution depends on an effective and efficient management procedure.All phases of the project lifecycle should incorporate quality management [1].However, the execution process is thought to be the most complex because it accounts for the majority of project costs (70%-80%), making quality control and management during this phase one of the most difficult tasks [2].Accurate and consistent information gathering, processing, and stakeholder engagement are necessary for high-quality project management .
Engineering facilities in Syria suffer from quality deficiencies, often failing to achieve the desired results and incurring high rework costs.The main reasons for this include the absence of quality procedures during the execution phase, lack of cooperation and communication between project participants, poor task coordination between team members, inefficient progress monitoring, limited ability to track changes, lack of strict supervision, and the inability to document problems and track their resolution.This is attributed to the limited sharing of information through traditional paper-based methods in conventional construction quality management approaches.The current practice of quality management in the construction industry involves issuing quality inspection checklists, conducting site inspections and testing, documenting non-conformity reports, and implementing corrective actions.However, there is no systematic method for recording the data that has been inspected, making it impossible to determine the quality status of the construction [3].The revolution in computer systems and information technology has had a significant impact on the global community, as the construction sector or industry is now linked to information technology to increase construction efficiency.The construction industry has undergone a tremendous transformation thanks to building information modeling (BIM) technology, which covers all project phases and improves efficiency [4].As BIM aims to change the way facilities and infrastructure are viewed and managed, it is seen as a gateway to technical innovation and helps to deliver projects successfully at a lower cost and higher quality [5].According to Saad et al. [6], its benefits include increasing efficiency, facilitating competitive advantage, enhancing sustainability, streamlining complicated operations, and improving performance.
The rapid adoption of building information modeling (BIM) in the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) has brought new and emerging challenges for collaborative practices related to the significant amount of BIM data that must be managed and controlled [7].Because remote collaboration is not allowed and real-time construction information cannot be reported, participants must meet in person around a computer to discuss a particular building program using BIM files [8].
Cloud-based building information modelling, or cloud BIM, is a growing area of investigation for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector [9].The problem of storing too much BIM data can be solved by increasing the capacity of cloud storage.Because cloud storage services make cloud-based BIM easily accessible to users in many locations, organizations can quickly expand the system without having to purchase expensive servers.This allows project team members to collaborate and coordinate more effectively in real time [8].
On building sites, mobile devices like iPads, tablets, and smartphones are now often used because cloud-based BIM systems like BIMXtra, A360, and others improve communication between office personnel and site workers.Through wireless networks, site teams may now view and address issues immediately from their mobile or cloud devices [10].This has a direct and positive impact on the quality management of the site.

Research objective
Enhancing the efficiency of the construction phase in construction projects by: 1) Conducting constructive interviews with experts to develop checklists for quality control of construction processes.2) Developing a methodology to enhance quality management by providing a collaborative and shared digital environment through integrating BIM and cloud computing.

Literature review
Hartmann and Fischer [11] described how the project team of the Fulton Street Transit Center project in New York City utilized 3D/4D models for knowledge communication and generation during the constructability review process.The management team effectively communicated generated knowledge to non-engineers, suggesting an integrated process for efficient 3D/4D model usage in construction projects.
According to Sears et al. [12], an essential procedure in construction project management is a constructability review, which assesses design and construction plans to find possible problems or difficulties.Within the limitations of time and money, it seeks to guarantee that the design is workable, efficient, and practical.In order to reduce risks and improve the quality and efficiency of projects, stakeholders such as contractors, engineers, and architects work together to evaluate design documents.
According to Love et al. [13], BIM can boost full life-cycle asset management, lower construction costs, lessen the likelihood of modified orders, integrate project systems, data, and teams, and improve the quality of design information and interoperability.
Wang et al. [14] discussed an integrated system of BIM and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to obtain real-time quality information on-site and process it for construction quality monitoring.The results show that the system is capable of efficiently identifying potential construction defects and supporting real-time quality control.
Lin et al. [15] introduced a BIM-based defect management (BIMDM) system for on-site quality managers in Taiwan during construction.The system integrates web and BIM technologies, enabling real-time visualization and analysis of defect information.The study shows its effectiveness in improving defect management efficiency and facilitating easy quality inspection in a 3D BIM environment.
Ma et al. [16] proposed a system that integrates BIM and indoor positioning technology, allowing inspectors to easily link the actual targeted element they are inspecting on the construction site with the corresponding BIM element by simply clicking on it to input inspection data on a mobile device.The inspection data is then uploaded to the server, and checklist forms are printed and signed.
Cheng [17] developed a preliminary model for a quality control system in the construction phase using Autodesk Revit API, which can record quality defects onsite immediately and display the three-dimensional elements including the defects.This quality control model can be uploaded to the cloud and provide real-time information.Users can also print quality control reports using this system.
Alhassan et al. [18] proposed a methodology for knowledge acquisition during public building maintenance using BIM and DYNAMO applications.Parametric models store information centrally, while visual programming enables processing, extraction, classification, and data export from the BIM model to enhance knowledge management.
In another study [4], a comprehensive approach to quality management through the integration of BIM and augmented reality (AR) technologies was proposed.The results emphasize that objectives such as reducing delays, improving quality, and lowering costs can be achieved through the proposed quality management system, as the web-based checklist facilitates access to updated information by enhancing communication among stakeholders.In a study by AA and Varghese [3], a 4D model was developed for project quality management using Revit software to link foundation elements with their quality parameters.The researcher concluded several benefits of using BIM in quality management: better visualization of construction activities, improved communication among project stakeholders, a robust database, better understanding of quality requirements, continuous flow of information, time savings, and cost savings.
Using a point cloud and as-designed BIM features, Bassier et al. [19] introduced an innovative way to quickly assess built objects on building sites.Periodic remote sensing opens up new opportunities for comprehensive evaluations.This technique computes positioning errors, detects building flaws early on, and reduces failure costs dramatically.The program offers a user-friendly positioning accuracy meter and is integrated into native BIM software.
The research of Dahbi et al. [20] aims to integrate AR, BIM, and cloud computing technologies into a mobile application called "CollaBIM" to improve construction sector practices.This open-source solution aids in digital transition, providing visualization of models on 2D plans and 3D virtual models, enabling better building analysis throughout their life cycle.Collaboration is central to the research.
Qinghe et al. [21] developed a BIM management platform that improves visualization, data integration, safety, quality, collaboration, and emergency response in bridge projects by utilizing cloud computing, internet of things, and BIM technologies.The way these technologies work together for intelligent project management is demonstrated by this integration.
Irene [22] examined how a collaborative Cloud-BIM tool was used on the North Vancouver LGH ACF project, emphasizing how it improved interdisciplinary cooperation, design visualization, and project comprehension.Change management, file upload problems, and inadequate training are among the challenges that have been discovered.
In the research of Omran and Shaban [23], an integrated system for managing change orders electronically was developed that aligns with the expectations and ambitions of the construction industry through the integration of building information modeling (BIM) technology and cloud computing technology.3) Transition to a collaborative cloud-based environment: The transition was made to the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) platform, a cloud-based platform designed by Autodesk for effective integrated management of construction projects.This platform includes a suite of BIM-based tools and project management capabilities designed to centralize all building information and related processes, improving communication, collaboration and coordination between stakeholders through a single online platform.4) Verification through a case study: The Youth Housing Project in the city of Latakia (Syria) was chosen as a case study.It is a residential building consisting of a ground floor and nine repetitive floors with an area of 350 square meters, where each floor contains four identical apartments.On-site, the PlanGrid application, which is part of the ACC platform, was used.Users can upload, organize, and share project documents through this application.The teams can view high-resolution drawings and 3D models (BIM) on smartphones and tablets smoothly.Team members can collaborate on drawings and provide comments and feedback directly within the application.Changes to drawings and documents can be tracked and version history is maintained to ensure the use of the correct versions.

Methodology
It allows for documenting quality issues, safety concerns, and other problems at the worksite with the ability to attach photos and notes.In addition, the notification feature ensures real-time communication between the field team and the office team, significantly reducing the need for team feedback on unexpected problems.Figure 2 shows the research approach chart.

Results and discussion
1) After conducting constructive field interviews with experts, quality control checklists for executing earthworks and construction operations for structural elements (formwork, reinforcement, and pouring) were developed.As indicated in Appendix.2) Through the digitization of quality management by integration of (BIM) and cloud computing, researchers have been able to address the most common issues in traditional quality management approaches by:

Collaboration and communication
The digitization of quality management helps to share information transparently and centrally between project members.As project participants are added to the platform, companies can invite their employees to join and define permissions for each member.This allows them to determine what they can see and do on the platform based on their responsibilities and project needs, as shown in Figure 3.This approach helps to organize and coordinate work more effectively, ensuring that participants are committed to the tasks assigned to them and that appropriate access to data and information is granted to each individual.
To facilitate access and organization of project information, the platform centrally stores crucial documents and files.These include blueprints, digital models, schedules, photos, and other project-related files.The stored data encompasses change orders, backups, and various document versions.This centralized repository allows for efficient comparison of different document versions, tracking change dates, and identifying responsible parties.As a result, companies can respond promptly and effectively to changes, ensuring the quality execution of their processes.Figure 4 illustrates the centralized file storage within the platform.

Providing a repository for quality data
The proposed methodology establishes a highly centralized repository for quality data.This data is seamlessly integrated into the building information modeling (BIM) model using REVIT software.By incorporating a set of special parameters, REVIT allows for the inclusion of quality-related information.Specifically, each 3D element within the model is linked to these parameters, ensuring that alongside the geometric details, process-specific quality data is associated with each element.Refer to Figure 5 for a visual representation of this integration.

On-site acquisition of quality data
In the proposed methodology, the BIM model loaded with quality data is viewed on site using a tablet or mobile phone to obtain all the necessary information about the elements on site as shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 illustrates a virtual tour inside the building to facilitate the process of obtaining information about the internal elements.The site official can find the required elements in the BIM model using a smartphone or tablet by performing a filtering process for the elements through selecting the level, category and disciplines of the element as shown in Figure 8.The site official can also perform measurements directly on the model as shown in Figure 9.

Track implementation and document quality issues
Digitizing quality management facilitates real-time monitoring of project progress by providing up-to-date data.This tracking and monitoring process offers a comprehensive view of process and quality performance through the analysis of data and key performance indicators.Companies can pinpoint areas that require improvement and development.Regular tracking enables effective data collection and analysis, allowing for the early identification of potential quality issues.Strategic decision-making can then address these challenges.
To streamline data collection, customized forms have been designed.These templates encompass various fields, including text, geographic location, weather conditions, electronic signatures, images, and dates.On-site personnel complete these forms using smart devices.The collected data serves as the foundation for customized reports, such as daily reports, progress updates, quality assessments, safety reports, and inspections (as depicted in Figure 10).
Digitizing quality management also facilitates the inspection process on-site through electronic checklists that are created as shown in Figure 11.The inspector fills out the checklists during the inspection process using a mobile phone and documents compliance cases with photos.In case of a violation, it is described and its location is identified on the 3D BIM model, and the responsible person is automatically notified through the platform and email with a message indicating the need for correction or rework.After completing the inspection process, the report is signed by the inspector and shared via the platform with relevant parties.

Corrective action tracking
Corrective action tracking plays a pivotal role in quality management.It serves several critical purposes.During the construction process, errors and issues inevitably arise.Corrective actions help identify these anomalies promptly.By addressing them, companies ensure the quality of operations, meet customer expectations, and safeguard their reputation.
Our proposed methodology establishes a detailed historical record of observed issues and non-compliances.Each issue is meticulously documented, including references to the responsible individuals.To streamline corrective actions, we employ a color-coded system within the 3D BIM model as shown in Figure 14.Each color corresponds to a specific stage of the corrective action process: • Draft: Initial identification (Black).
• Open: Acknowledged and under review (Orange).
• In review: Assessment by relevant parties (Purple).

Feedback tracking
The proposed methodology serves as a comprehensive communication system for reporting, feedback tracking, review, and dissemination of lessons learned.It ensures a clear and consistent flow of information by providing feedback on documents, designs, and reports.Comments, notes, and direct changes are seamlessly incorporated into the documentation process.
Key components of this approach include feedback integration, detailed reports, team meetings, and efficiency enhancement.Stakeholders contribute feedback directly to documents, ensuring continuous improvement.The system generates detailed reports summarizing received feedback, serving as valuable insights for decisionmaking and process enhancement.Regular team meetings facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing, identifying strengths and weaknesses in the construction process.Necessary actions are taken to improve work efficiency based on data analysis, ensuring adherence to quality standards and meeting customer needs.

Conclusions
This research aimed to improve the efficiency of the construction phase by creating quality control checklists for processes and enhancing quality management through a collaborative digital environment integrating building information modeling (BIM) and cloud computing.The effectiveness of the system was studied through a real-life case in Latakia City-Syria.The research found that the integrated use of BIM and cloud computing makes implementation phase quality management more efficient and effective by better understanding the design, providing a robust database, improving communication and collaboration between participants, enhancing on-site quality information extraction from BIM models using smartphones, documenting defects and entering inspection data directly into a shared digital environment, and facilitating the tracking of corrective actions and feedback.This enables continuous and structured access to up-to-date information and inspection results, thereby reducing defects, minimizing rework, saving time and cost, and improving the speed and efficiency of decision-making.Moreover, the color-coded model, combined with the historical record of the issues, gives an overview of the current quality status of the project both in qualitative and quantitative terms.The research recommended the need for strict regulations to adhere to quality control procedures, the need to provide technical infrastructure to move the construction industry to a collaborative digital environment, and the importance of conducting training courses for construction workers on the use of the new technology.
