The job of a quantity surveyor is partly a legal expert, partly an engineer, and partly an architect. It basically spans across the lifecycle of the project. It is the time of the decade when greater importance is given to the role of the quantity surveyors, and is driven by factors including compliance, management of information and security of funding, etc. Apart from compliance, construction industry booms for QS to execute forensic reviews of historic projects, retrofitting of such construction, and identify overspend and areas where the contract is not fulfilled appropriately. It is an area where quantity surveyors are underused – is what we strongly feel. Also, the construction of mega projects like skyscrapers, condo hotels, etc. are on the rise with a need to develop elite infrastructure. This compels the contractors and construction companies to have experts and QS on board to take informed decisions related to order quantities, material planning, logistics, scheduling and estimating BOMs. With this rising need of accuracy, QS too are looking alternatives to estimate accurately which directly points them to BIM. BIM not only provides them a digital platform but also serves a common data environment to collaborate with other design stakeholders, engineers and architects to stay updated. BIM acts a channel for QS to have their say during the design planning of the project and contribute to better project outcomes. BIM for Quantity Surveyors Technically, the construction industry has embraced BIM for almost a decade now. But it is only recently that the QS fraternity has adopted it for their area of work. Enlisted are a few reasons for QS firms and QS professionals adopting BIM Better platform to collaborate Availability of information rich 3D models Lifting the perception of the value of the QS Avoiding human interference in calculations Immediate reflection on quantity count based on alternations in designs Ease and efficiency for tasks undertaken While BIM does not alter the basics of traditional quantity survey majorly, it definitely adds efficiency to the quantity survey processes. Efficient and expedited process frees up the quantity surveyor’s time and allows these professionals to concentrate more on adding value to the financial and contractual management of projects across the pre-construction, construction and post-construction stages. One of the integral parts of a quantity surveyor’s job is – to prepare scheme designs with detailed specifications and costing and to organize documents for tenders. BIM makes this job responsibility easy and efficient. BIM eliminates traditional takeoffs and reduces human errors Bills of quantities, is one of the most important aspect of cost management that comes under the job profile of a QS. BIM expedites the production of bills of materials by automating this process. The automation of this activity eliminates traditional takeoffs and reduces human errors – often a headache to QS. 5D BIM also allows extraction of the most accurate quantities that are to be used forconstruction cost estimation. As the relationships between costs and quantities – for specific locations and spaces, are identified and communicated, it contributes towards accurate estimation of the total cost of the project. When cost estimators understand the determinants that contribute to the costs thoroughly it enhances their efficiency and competence and hence translates into highly accurate 5D BIM cost estimations. BIM 3D model is a digital representation of every aspect of any building construction project. When any change is made to the design, it immediately reflects across all aspects and disciplines of the project. It also automatically updates the material quantities and hence the corresponding costs, thus making work of a quantity surveyor easy. Now as quantity takes offs and consequently the cost estimations are accurate, it helps surveyors formulate competitive bids and tenders. Hence, aided with BIM capabilities quantity surveyors produce work of higher and accurate standards and this translates into desirable project outcomes. Hi-Tech CADD Servicesoffer 5D BIM modeling to help contractors, quantity surveyors and construction companies to foresee their budget by integrating BIM data with cost estimation software for efficient project delivery at minimum expenditure. ...read more

Often construction project risks are unseen and unpredictable, with disintegration being the main culprit, hindering the smooth flow of communication among stakeholders involved. Lack of communication triggers internal risks, too. All of this leads to misinformation, misunderstandings and it ends up creating mistrust and poor relationships among the design and construction stakeholders such as architects, engineers, contractors and fabricators. However, the challenges don’t end here. Internal risk is further classified from the internal project management team, designers, and owners. Risk at design might originate from: Incomplete design information: The designers often have to rush to complete the design phase. It is likely to happen that it does not meet the set needs and may also be defective in terms of errors. Drawings: The quality parameters and the specification produced by the design professionals. Occupational risk: Injury, possibly fatal, to a worker because of behavior, methodologies or technologies used weather or a third party. Design changesthat occur during construction phases are another reason to internal risk. Ideally, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an information rich object-oriented, intelligent, and parametric digital 3D geometry of the facility, from which interpretations and documents suitable to several users’ needs can be extracted and evaluated. Site engineers and chief contractors can use it to generate information as opined that can be used to make informed decision and improved the process of delivering the facility with minor risk. How BIM mitigates risk in construction projects Contractors find it the most difficult task to plan and design accurately, aligning the design with the determined project viability with the constantly shrinking financial budgets. However, BIM can aid in this process. For instance, visualization of the initial design by 3D/4D models can assist engineers in modifying the model in parametric way to meet the requirements. Virtual Walkthroughs work great in such scenarios as it simplifies the understanding. IFC data format could further strengthen the interoperability in BIM and aid in reducing possibility of errors. Benefits through 3D, 4D and 5D BIM modeling All of the characteristics of 3D BIM can help the design stakeholders collaborate better at early stages and include the changes early. As a result, a significant chunk of rework is avoided and can save the site engineers from risking the already finished construction. Secondly,4D construction simulationand construction sequencing videos help the planning of logistics on site and setup the workflows in a logical and efficient manner ensuring Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). The main advantage of BIM is it has ability to decrease error made in design stage by mechanism of clash detection though various visualization techniques. As BIM grows into more data rich model, it can help save cost by reducing risks in time and errors. 5D BIM cost estimationapplications can help to build the virtual project and simulate the construction process, cash flow and scheduling. Hence clients, designers, contractors and risk experts can identify risks at an initial stage and put forward any required mitigation procedures in advance. Above all, 5D BIM helps contractor in preparing BIM construction documentation and accurate estimation for the project for tender bidding. BIM for Environment Often overlooked, construction harms the environment. The air, water, and soil are significantly damaged because of the construction activities in varying amount depending upon the nature of the construction project and location. But BIM helps in practicing lean construction methods there by reducing waste. Additionally, BIM helps in designing buildings that can make the maximum use of natural resources and reduces the energy consumption through the compressors, generators, and pumps used to run the facility. Sustainable buildings designed with the help of BIM have become a trend owing to the movements to reduce the carbon footprints in environment. BIM for Safety As mentioned earlier, different views and misinterpretations are potential factors creating risk. What you need is a flawless communication and collaboration for successful risk management. For example, BIM can be utilized through organizational limits, which consist of interdisciplinary as well as cross-disciplinary coordination. Additionally, BIM is vital for vertical incorporation of data exchange within one design and construction discipline such as concrete design, fabrication, and construction to ensure that there is single source of truth for the entire project team. Mitigating risk in projects has played a crucial role in project’s aspects of cost, quality and sustainability. And Building information modeling (BIM) makes construction safer for construction workers, construction firms, professionals involved and leaves carbon footprint to a lesser extent, thereby saving the environment as a whole.
