Proposed Workflow of 3D Modelling Conversion and Enhancement in Quantity Surveying Profession
The three-dimensional (3D) models created by BIM modellers have limitations in providing accurate quantities following the standard method of measurement for a bill of quantities preparation. This creates problems for QS in preparing cost estimation, taking off and bill of quantities. Several QSs in Malaysia create a 3D model internally for quantities and costing purposes using QS software without further enhancing the 3D model owing to a software limitation. Therefore, this research aims to propose a workflow of 3D modelling conversion and enhancement in the quantity surveying profession to promote proactiveness for QS in enhancing their competitiveness in developing a data-rich 3D model based on designers’ drawings and specifications. To achieve this aim, a case study has been conducted on a 25-storey condominium project in Malaysia to validate the proposed workflow. The 3D model created by a quantity surveying firm has been exported to an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file and hence has been enhanced in BIM modeller software. This research will serve as a guidance to QS to strengthen their competencies in developing a data-rich 3D model in implementing BIM in future.
