| Summary: | For a long time, the construction industry has lagged behind in the field of digitalization. It is about time for the industry to find new tools to be able to deliver a higher standard of quality assurance. This report is concerned with the application BIM 360 Field, which is a cloud based IT-tool and can be used by anyone on the construction site. The application has multiple areas of usage, including deviation handling, self-monitoring, QR-code, inspection and completion plans.The purpose of the study is to examine how effective BIM 360 Field is compared to the industry’s traditional way of handling deviations. This degree project is written in cooperation with Skanska Sverige AB and the project “J-huset” in Uppsala. The purpose is further to examine if BIM 360 Field can be applied and used for the inspection of “J-huset”.The study has been carried out through interviews with the production management on various projects. Interviews, as well as an introduction to the application, have been carried out with proficient staff from Skanska. A field study has been undertaken on the “J-huset” in Uppsala for the purpose of gaining a personal opinion as well as knowledge of the application.The result gained from the study is that BIM 360 Field has great potential for saving time during the construction process. From the interviews with production management, who used BIM 360 Field during production, some issues have been identified with the application.The conclusion in this study is that the BIM 360 Field is applicable to the “J-Huset” in Uppsala. The program is user friendly and has great potential to streamline work on quality assurance in production. In order to achieve a successful result, it is recommended to use the program at an early stage and throughout the production
