An Investigation of the Effect of BIM Implementation on Improving the Relationship Between Architects and Quantity Surveyors
The construction industry relies on the collaboration of various professionals, including quantity surveyors and architects. However, their relationship can sometimes become strained due to issues related to costs, designs, and other factors. Surprisingly, there are limited studies addressing this aspect and offering solutions for improvement. This study explores how the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) could potentially improve the relationship between architects and quantity surveyors. Qualitative research findings were analyzed using thematic analysis and compared with existing literature to validate the results. Four main themes (‘Dependence on the person’, ‘Misunderstandings’, ‘BIM efficiency’, and ‘Requirements of BIM’) and one subtheme (‘Universal working’) emerged from the analysis. The findings suggest that BIM can be a valuable tool for enhancing collaboration and communication between quantity surveyors and architects, given their close involvement in design and cost aspects. The study also identified key procedures for successful BIM implementation. Overall, it concludes that BIM has the potential to strengthen the relationship between these professionals and improve project collaboration.
