Details :

BIM technology has dramatically transformed traditional practices within the industry throughout the project lifecycle. Because QS is one of the core project members, it is essential to recognise how BIM influences the profession of quantity surveying, the services it delivers and the sustainability of competent graduates. However, few studies have investigated the adoption level of BIM or diagnosed its deficiencies to improve quantity surveying practices in HK.

 

This research study was funded by the QSD of HKIS in 2018. Unlike other BIM studies that focused upon a foreign country or a mixture of countries, this study is the first-ever BIM study in quantity surveying in HK, so the results truly reflect the current HK situation of QSs' BIM adoption in client organisations, consultant firms and contractor companies. The research scope is also extended to include the BIM curricula of the local educational institutions and matching them with the current QS practices in BIM adoption.

 

Sr Dr Keung is the principal investigator of the research project.
