Enhancing BIM Data Information Exchange Processes: a Pull-based Framework for Targeted Data Extraction and Validation

Abstract: Traditional push-based workflows in Building Information Modeling (BIM) often suffer from inefficiencies that hinder precise and effective data exchange. The following study introduces a pull-based approach designed to address challenges, induced by inefficient push-based workflows, by focusing on targeted information requests and automating validation processes. The proposed method improves data quality, ensures compliance, and streamlines workflows by minimizing redundancies, reducing coordination cycles, and prioritizing relevant data. The pull-based approach enhances digital data processes and improves stakeholder communication, providing a practical and efficient alternative to the currently dominant push-based workflows while unlocking new opportunities for BIM adoption.
