Project Abstract

Abstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the construction industry, offering numerous benefits in terms of project planning, design, and management. This research project focuses on exploring the application of BIM in the field of Quantity Surveying through a detailed case study. The study aims to investigate how BIM technology can enhance the quantity surveying process, improve accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration among project stakeholders. The research begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature on BIM and its relevance to Quantity Surveying. The literature review identifies key trends, challenges, and opportunities associated with the integration of BIM in Quantity Surveying practices. Through an in-depth analysis of ten key literature sources, this chapter sets the foundation for the subsequent research methodology. The research methodology chapter outlines the approach and methods employed in conducting the case study. The methodology includes data collection techniques, sampling strategies, data analysis procedures, and tools used to evaluate the application of BIM in Quantity Surveying. Eight key components of the research methodology are discussed in detail, providing clarity on the research process and ensuring the validity and reliability of the findings. The findings chapter presents a detailed discussion of the results obtained from the case study. Seven key findings are analyzed, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and implications of implementing BIM in Quantity Surveying processes. The discussion delves into how BIM technology can improve cost estimation, quantity takeoff, project coordination, and overall project performance in the construction industry. In conclusion, the research findings underscore the significant impact of BIM on Quantity Surveying practices, emphasizing the need for industry professionals to embrace and leverage this technology for enhanced project outcomes. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing insights into the practical application of BIM in Quantity Surveying and offers recommendations for future research and industry adoption. Overall, this research project serves as a valuable resource for Quantity Surveyors, construction professionals, and researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of BIM technology and its implications for Quantity Surveying practices. The findings of this study pave the way for further exploration and implementation of BIM in the construction industry, driving innovation, efficiency, and collaboration across project lifecycle stages.
