Heritage building information modelling: the rise of quantity surveyors. Berita QS, Iss. 1, 2018/2019, 1. pp. 21-26. (Unpublished) (2018)
Abstract
Quantity surveyors are highly demanded especially in preparing cost estimation of heritage building conservation works which recently, becoming increasingly important for the urban development as heritage buildings are icons for a country and the buildings represent the historical and cultural backgrounds of a nation. However, cost estimating for heritage building conservation works is not a simple task because it is of different approach from a conventional estimat-ing for new building work. In contrary to new building work, conservation work may not have much detail especially if the as-built drawing is outdated or unavailable. In response to the demand for more efficient and safe as-built drawing production as well as accurate cost estimation for heritage building conser-vation works, Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) technologies with the utilization of 3D laser scanner have been introduced to replace the con-ventional approach. Previous studies on HBIM and utilization of 3D laser scanner have only focused on the creation of as-built Building Information Modelling (BIM) model architecturally and structurally. Very little is known about the potential for quantity surveyors to perform their professional practices on HBIM platform and utilization of 3D laser scanner for heritage building conservation works. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the potential for quantity sur-veyors to perform their professional practices on HBIM platform and utilization of 3D laser scanner for heritage building conservation works by means of single case study method and Istana Bukit Zaharah is chosen as the case study for this study. This paper provides the basis of research approach that will be conducted in order to achieve the aim of this study and the approach consists of four main phases: (1) 3D data acquisition, (2) data processing, (3) as-built BIM creation and (4) cost estimation. It is believed that this study is extremely significant in expanding the traditional roles and professional practices of quantity surveyors in the context of heritage building conservation works.
