📢 Calling on all registered quantity surveyors in Kenya:
Hi, I'm Muimi Nzangi, a Master of Construction Project Management student at the Department of Construction & Property Studies, Technical University of Kenya. I am conducting research on “5-Dimensional Building Information Modelling (5D BIM) Cost Estimating in Quantity Surveying Practice in Kenya.”
The research seeks to establish the current status of BIM adoption in cost estimating, review the technical capabilities of BIM tools in the Kenyan market, and provide recommendations for guiding future development of these BIM tools and the Standard Method of Measurement (SMM) for long-term compatibility. This will enable the construction industry to reap the benefits of cost estimation automation through BIM.
I’m reaching out to request that you share your wealth of industry experiences, ideas, perceptions, opinions, and thoughts on the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) by quantity surveyors in cost estimating. You can do so by responding to an online questionnaire.
Here’s the link to the short questionnaire: https://forms.gle/UrckXxWWQgGsDebg8
The results for this survey will be used for academic purposes for writing the master's thesis. Additionally, I will publish a journal research paper to benefit both the industry and the research community.
Feel free to share this with your colleagues and other quantity surveyors in your network. Thank you in advance for your support.
