# BIM-GIS-Based Approach for Quality Management Aligned with ISO 9001
## 7 Conclusions  
Quality management during the construction phase is critical in ensuring compliance with technical requirements and improving project performance. Developing robust quality management systems can provide significant benefits to construction organizations, including process standardization, enhanced traceability, and potential certification under international standards such as ISO 9001:2015. This study introduced QualiSite, a digital tool that supports these objectives by integrating BIM and GIS technologies into a unified quality management workflow.  
The proposed approach employs QGIS and QField to design and operate georeferenced inspection forms. At the same time, Revit serves as the central platform for storing and managing quality information within a virtual model. The integration of inspection data into the BIM model is achieved through Dynamo, enabling partial automation of key tasks such as parameter generation, data insertion, and visual monitoring. The tool was validated in a small-scale case study focused on the construction of reinforced concrete walls, confirming its feasibility and operability. The results demonstrated consistent data flow between systems and improved traceability across inspection phases, supporting informed decision-making and enhanced documentation quality.  
Future research should prioritize the integration of vertical coordinate data to support multi-level inspections, the automation of GIS-BIM synchronization, and the incorporation of performance metrics to evaluate system effectiveness. Compatibility with open formats such as IFC should be strengthened by mapping shared parameters to standardized schemas and using middleware or IFC-compatible platforms for structured data exchange. Furthermore, incorporating AI for anomaly detection and decision support and exploring blockchain-based solutions for immutable quality records would enhance system transparency, auditability, and operational efficiency. These developments would broaden the applicability of QualiSite across diverse project contexts and contribute to its scalability and long-term integration within digital construction ecosystems. Collaborative efforts between academia and industry could accelerate adoption, ensuring that tools like QualiSite evolve in alignment with real-world needs, technological advances, and regulatory frameworks.
