Abstract |
The rough design information is only available from BIM(Building Information Model) based schematic design. So, it is difficult to obtain sufficient information for generating BOQ. Like 2D design, there are some problems that the results are depend on what the choice of cost estimator. However, the most research of BIM based cost estimation are focus on quantity takeoff, the consideration of work item for generating BOQ is insufficient. Therefore, this paper present automatic inference process of work items in a BOQ using ontology. The proposed process and ontology is validated through applying tiling construction. If the proposed process is utilized, it is expected the basis of developing generation method for consistent BOQ by resolving intervention of cost estimator’s arbitrary decision. |
