Project Abstract

Abstract
The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the field of Quantity Surveying has brought about significant advancements in the construction industry. This research project focuses on exploring the application of BIM in Quantity Surveying through a detailed case study. The primary objective is to investigate the benefits, challenges, and overall impact of utilizing BIM technology in Quantity Surveying practices. The research methodology employed in this study includes a comprehensive literature review, case study analysis, and interviews with industry professionals experienced in both BIM and Quantity Surveying. The literature review covers various aspects of BIM technology, its evolution, and its integration in the construction industry. The case study involves an in-depth examination of a specific construction project where BIM was implemented in the Quantity Surveying process. Findings from the research revealed that the application of BIM in Quantity Surveying offers numerous advantages, such as enhanced collaboration, improved accuracy in cost estimation, better project visualization, and streamlined project management. However, challenges such as high initial costs, training requirements, and interoperability issues were identified as potential barriers to the widespread adoption of BIM in Quantity Surveying. The discussion of findings in this research project provides valuable insights into the current state of BIM implementation in Quantity Surveying and highlights key areas for further research and development. The study concludes with a summary of the key findings, implications for practice, and recommendations for future research in this evolving field. Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the application of BIM in Quantity Surveying and underscores the importance of embracing technological advancements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in the construction industry.
