Webinar: How QA/QC Bridges the Gap Between BIM and Field Reality
Join SolidSpac3, Lidar News, and Dome Construction to discuss how adding QA/QC to the BIM workflow reduces errors and boosts project ROI
January 23, 2022 – San Francisco California – SolidSpac3 and Lidar News (www.lidarnews.com) will host a free webinar on February 22, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. EST featuring Dome Construction. Li Jiang, Senior BIM Engineer at Dome Construction, will demonstrate how Dome is adding a QA/QC process in the coordination workflow by using SolidSpac3 to BIM and Reality Capture to identify potential issues before it is too late or costly. The result is minimized errors and omissions, increased profit margins, greater project ROI, and producing a higher quality customer deliverable.
“Lack of ‘true’ as-builts is the biggest challenge of dealing with existing field construction conditions,” commented Alex Von Svoboda, SolidSpac3’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “The available BIM models that purport to be existing are usually not consistent with field reality – even after having been run through trade coordination. Without accurate information regarding existing conditions, the planning and coordination of the new work will be undermined, causing substantial rework, delay, cost overrun, and even project shutdown.”
What you’ll learn:
- CASE STUDY: How Dome improved coordination workflows using SolidSpac3 on a build-out project with extensive existing MEPFP (Mechanical Electrical Plumbing and Fire Protection) services
- PROJECT COST SAVINGS: How you can save money by turning captured reality into a solution for QA/QC analysis
- TIME SAVINGS AND REDUCED REWORK: How to identify construction variances for correction to ensure”true” as-builts while the teams are still in place
Who should attend:
- VDC/BIM Managers
- Project Managers
- Project Engineers
- Owners

About Solidspac3
Solidspac3 is a privately held construction technology company providing near real time insight into the construction process. Using our cloud-based analytics platform we compare plans (construction drawings or BIM) to reality and inform all stakeholders of any construction execution mistakes. By identifying and addressing these issues as they occur, the project can save up to 10% of the total cost and eliminate delays. Our application enables the construction industry to avoid much of the $500B per year it spends on rework.

It’s a fact that there are many misconceptions about BIM that negatively affect construction productivity. AEC stakeholders shouldn’t expect any radical change for getting the result. However, if an apt time is invested in construction planning with Building Information Modeling, the technology is sure to provide you good results in the long run.
QA/QC plays a crucial role in ensuring that the vision laid out in Building Information Modeling (BIM) translates accurately into the physical construction. BIM provides a comprehensive digital representation of a project, but discrepancies can arise when these plans meet the complexities of the real world. This is where Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) come into play.
QA/QC processes involve systematic checks and balances throughout the construction lifecycle. QA focuses on the overall framework and standards, ensuring that processes and procedures align with the project’s objectives and compliance requirements. QC, on the other hand, is more about the specific execution—inspecting and verifying that materials and workmanship meet the defined criteria.
By integrating QA/QC into the BIM workflow, discrepancies between the digital model and field reality are identified and addressed early. This proactive approach helps in detecting errors or deviations from the plan before they escalate into costly issues. For example, QC inspections can validate that the dimensions and placements in the field match those in the BIM model, while QA ensures that any modifications or updates to the model are reflected accurately in the field practices.
Ultimately, QA/QC acts as a bridge by enhancing accuracy, reducing rework, and ensuring that the final construction aligns with the intended design and quality standards. This alignment not only improves project outcomes but also fosters better collaboration and efficiency across all stakeholders involved.
