Data Quality Check for Construction

Overview

Based on DDC methodology (Chapter 2.6), this skill provides comprehensive data quality assessment for construction projects. Poor data quality leads to poor decisions - validate early, validate often.

Book Reference: "Требования к качеству данных и его обеспечение" / "Data Quality Requirements"

"Качество данных определяется пятью ключевыми метриками: полнота, точность, согласованность, своевременность и достоверность." — DDC Book, Chapter 2.6

Quick Start

import pandas as pd

# Load construction data
df = pd.read_excel("bim_export.xlsx")

# Quick quality check
quality_score = {
    'completeness': (1 - df.isnull().sum().sum() / df.size) * 100,
    'unique_ids': df['ElementId'].nunique() == len(df),
    'valid_volumes': (df['Volume_m3'] >= 0).all()
}

print(f"Completeness: {quality_score['completeness']:.1f}%")
print(f"Unique IDs: {quality_score['unique_ids']}")
print(f"Valid volumes: {quality_score['valid_volumes']}")

Common Validation Patterns

# Construction-specific regex patterns
PATTERNS = {
    'element_id': r'^[A-Z]{1,3}\d{3,8}$',
    'revit_id': r'^\d{5,8}$',
    'ifc_guid': r'^[A-Za-z0-9_$]{22}$',
    'level': r'^(Level|L|Уровень)\s*[-]?\d+$',
    'grid': r'^[A-Z]{1,2}[-/]?\d{0,3}$',
    'date_iso': r'^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$',
    'cost_code': r'^\d{2,3}[.-]\d{2,4}[.-]?\d{0,4}$'
