BIM and Big Data for Construction Cost Management 

This book is designed to help practitioners and students in a wide range of con-

struction project management professions to understand what building informa-

tion modelling (BIM) and big data could mean for them and how they should

prepare to work successfully on BIM-compliant projects and maintain their com-

petencies in this essential and expanding area.

In this book, the state-of-the-art information technologies that support

high-profile BIM implementation are introduced, and case studies show how

BIM has integrated core quantity surveying and cost management responsibil-

ities and how big data can enable informed decision-making for cost control

and cost planning. The authors’ combined professional and academic experience

demonstrates, with practical examples, the importance of using BIM and par-

ticularly the fusion of BIM and big data, to sharpen competitiveness in global

and domestic markets.

This book is a highly valuable guide for people in a wide range of construction

project management and quantity surveying roles. In addition, implications for

project management, facilities management, contract administration, and dispute

resolution are also explored through the case studies, making this book essential

reading for built environment and engineering professionals.
