Abstract: When using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for complex building design, optimizing the building quality in a design phase becomes an important part of integrated and advanced building design. The use of data from an information model in the design phase allows efficient assessment of different design strategies and structural variants and a higher quality of the final design. This paper aims to analyze and verify possible BIM data-driven workflows for Complex Building Quality Assessment (CBQA) and a suitable BIM data structure set up for automatic assessment and evaluation. For an efficient automation process in complex quality building assessment in the design phase, it is necessary first to understand the data structure of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), which is widely accepted and used for buildings, and second to understand the data structure of the assessment methodology used for the assessment. This article describes possible data workflows for an automatic assessment based on the experience gained on a case study of the real pilot project of a residential building, where the complex building quality was tested using SBToolCZ, the Czech national assessment method. This article presents the experience and recommendations for setting up the data model of a building for automatic assessment.
