Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is known as an important tool for the improvement of Quantity Surveying Practice (QSP) especially in the performance. Quantity Surveyor shall be responsible for the entire project’s cost starting from process of feasibility study until the completion date of a building. However, Quantity Surveyors are lagging behind in the adoption of BIM compared to other professionals such as Architect and Engineer due to lack of awareness of the BIM’s potential in their career. Quantity Surveyors are still unclear of the capabilities of BIM in QSP and the benefits of BIM implement in QSP. Hence, a research is carried out in order to have better understanding of potential expansion of Quantity Surveyor roles, the problems can be minimized through the adoption of BIM to the QSP and identify the ways to increase the implementation level of BIM among Quantity Surveyors.
