Abstract | The construction industry is widely acknowledged as unique and conservative. Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems have the potential to revolutionize current practices and to automate the measurement of quantities from construction drawings. However, there are fears that such developments could threaten the viability of the quantity surveying profession. This study explores the relationship between BIM systems and the roles of quantity surveyors in the construction industry. We argue that BIM challenges traditional roles of quantity surveyors and their relevance to the construction industry. We recommend the development of revised curricula for quantity surveyors and further research into standard systems of measurement. |
