The construction industry can be considered as a critical sphere in the nation’s economic
progress. However, due to an insufficient quality management procedure, this industry has
been plagued by considerable problems, including the failure to complete projects within
the triple constraints. The purpose of this research is to assess the impact of Building
Information Modelling (BIM) on the optimization of quality management processes in
building projects. Cost overruns, project delays, and ineffective quality control methods
are the issues which confront the construction sector. BIM has emerged as a viable
solution in addressing these difficulties by offering a digital platform that improves project
stakeholders’ cooperation, information flow, and decision-making. The aims of this
research were attained by utilizing qualitative and quantitative data acquired through
a comprehensive questionnaire survey and a detailed literature survey. The sum of
circulated questionnaires was 40 and the number of responses was 75 percent. Correlation
and regression analysis was done with the use of SPSS software to analyze the collected
data. According to the findings of the study, there is a substantial beneficial association
between BIM dimensions (3D, 4D, and 5D) on the quality management process. According
to the regression analysis, the adoption of 3D BIM has the greatest influence on quality
management, followed by 4D BIM (time) and 5D BIM (cost). According to the study,
BIM may greatly improve quality management procedures in building projects. It sug gests the significance of boosting awareness, encouraging stakeholder collaboration, and
developing standardized BIM guidelines for optimal adoption. More empirical research
is required to fully realize the benefits of BIM in quality management.
