“…In BIM, integrating the cost element is represented by the fifth dimension (5D), which for many firms, can be recognised as a competitive approach towards cost management (Smith, 2014). BIM offers the ability for QSs to take-off, count and measure directly from a regularly updated model through 5D BIM applications by linking the model to estimating software (Haque and Mishra, 2007). With the tedious task of quantification in some sense being automated and effortless, it allows QS to pay attention to and provide expertise on other project-specific factors, e.g.…”

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the integration of a QS role and practice within the BIM process to enable better implementation of 5D BIM technology. It proposes the use of a 'level of development and level of detail' (LoDs) to provide a structured approach for quantity surveyors' integration within the BIM process for an improved implementation of 5D BIM technology. Design/methodology/approach: This paper uses semi-structured interviews with quantity surveyors from academic and industry in the UK. A total of 20 face-to-face semi-structured interviews with two groups (Industrial and Academic) of 10 participants from the West Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The interview questions have focused on gaining perspectives on BIM, BIM and government protocols for the QS profession, expectations and challenges when implementing 5D BIM. Findings: The findings show that BIM is perceived differently, inflexibility of standardising costs reduce reliability in 5D BIM and implementing of 5D BIM needs an understanding of workflow and complexity of information. Research limitations/implications: Although the findings reveal many of the complexities that face quantity surveyors within the BIM process as well as the shortfalls of 5D BIM Technology, the results may lack generalisability. Thus, future research seeks to test the proposed framework further. Practical implications: This paper elicits implications of shortfalls that impact the implementation of 5D BIM technology and the complexities the face quantity surveyors within the BIM process. Originality/value: This paper reveals the need to understand the process of integrating stakeholders and their information requirements for better implementation of technologies within BIM.

“…Within the BIM model, the integration of the cost aspect is provided by the 5D dimension, which by several consulting organisations, can be seen as an advantage towards cost management [31]. The model gives the project manager the capabilities to measure, take-offs and count straight from a regular updated BIM model through 5D BIM application by connecting the estimating software and the model [14]. According to [4], with the dragging process of qualification in some instances being effortless and automated, this provides more time to the project manager to give for more focus and give the knowledge on other project specification e.g.…”

The iron triangle which contains time, cost and quality plays a very important role in the construction industry. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has triggered the way the construction industry operates and in particular 5D BIM. This dimension within the BIM model is more associated with the cost aspect of the iron triangle and the potential to be used by the constructional project manager or built environment professional to streamline workflows and increase the quality of services they provide to clients. 5D BIM encompasses the traditional 3D (three dimensional) model added to the 4D BIM time and then the costing as the fifth dimension. 5D BIM provides the contractor with the ultimate opportunity to produce accurate costs of projects, the expected timeline when the actual costs of the projects will occur, at the same time allowing the schedule to be optimised by taking into account the quantities of material produced from the 5D BIM model and the productivity rate of the project team. The 5D BIM model provides a great platform for the construction project manager to connect the processes of design, construction methods and costs; this on the other side calls for the construction project manager to embrace the digital transformation in the way quantity take off (QTO's) are produced. this research focuses primarily on the role of the construction project manager in south africa whereby bim is been perceived as merely being a software. the research method adopted a quantitative approach and qualitative approach were semistructured interviews were conducted to get a clear picture of the digital transformation of the construction project manager professional. The findings show that in south africa and in particular the construction project manager still use the old method of using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 2D models to produce the costs. The research will be important for the construction industry and in particular for the QS practitioner to produce more accurate costs and thus productivity rate.

“…BIM automatically presents data both visually and analytically, information is clearer and easier to understand, and 4D models serve as platform for detection of potential conflicts and risk analysis [10] Having observed that an intrinsic limit of 4D visualization in BIM models is the lack of economic features, we propose system to integrate BIM technology and EVM, following Haque [10] and Jrade and Lessard's intuition [11]. The basis of the study comes from the idea of Construction Site Information Model (Co.S.I.M.)…”

It is well known that BIM technology offers many profitable issues by now. Its benefits are widely experimented and described, especially in terms of design efficiency and interoperability. However, it is not so common, at least in Italy, to see projects completely managed by BIM, especially considering medium and small intervention. This approach should change in the next years while Italian laws will make mandatory, step by step, the use of BIM for public procurement of a certain amount. With the aim of the implementation of BIM in each phase of the project, also in medium and small interventions, the presented research examines the use of 5D-BIM during the execution phase of the process, to assess construction advancements during works with the support of modelling advantages. Then, the research focuses primarily on the definition of proper requirements to outline a 5D site management throughout the whole construction process. After the definition of different needs for the different actors of construction process, the research moved to the possible BIM use for the satisfaction of these needs by the definition of customized parameters dealing with site spaces and facilities, quantities, time and cost management. The study includes also the levels development (LOD) definition of objects aimed to the scope of using information contained in the model for the works advancements checking during the realization of works. An approach was studied to realize the scope of work, tested in different construction sites with the aim to satisfy both the needs of clients, and the needs of a contractor. The considered construction sites are similar in terms of dimensions and amount of works. As will be demonstrated in the paper, the on-field management with the use of models, if correctly developed and used, can simplify contractors and clients' inspectors job during the works realization in terms of efficiency of inspection and calculations.
