Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model are used widely in construction to increase communication and team efficiencies while working toward a building construction management. This research presents a semantic reasoning framework using expert system development program language JESS for reasoning under specific ontology. This paper describes the structure of the proposed framework and its advantages in integrating BIM data sources. This allows the machine to understand the meaning of schema and detect error of those 3D models. This paper explores the idea of evacuation and 3D model code-checking automation.
