| description | Building Information Modeling (BIM) has gained attention and widely adopted in the construction industry. Numerous benefits are acquired by adopting BIM software such as increased efficiency of users, production of high-quality work, and reduction of uncertainties. As BIM software had been widely adopted, the feedback from users such as their satisfaction level played crucial role in improving the software for various aspects. A lot of BIM related previous studies have been conducted such as benefits and challenges for implementing BIM, adoption rate of BIM in certain country, etc. However, there is limited studies which related to the satisfaction level of users in using BIM software. Therefore, this research is conducted to evaluate the satisfaction level of quantity surveyors (QS) in using BIM software in order to accelerate BIM adoption rate in construction industry. Six main criteria are identified which are BIM software features, cost, user friendly, software vendor, software quality, and interoperability and compatibility. Questionnaire surveys were distributed and a total of 97 responses are received. The findings from the analysed data revealed that the main criterion “BIM software features” has satisfied the QSs while the least satisfied main criterion is the cost of the BIM software. Besides, by conducting Kruskal-Wallis test, the results revealed that there is a significant difference in satisfaction level of using BIM software between different natures of QSs companies. Lastly, the findings of this research served as a great source of information to the software vendor, relevant construction authorities and local government as they perceived current data of satisfaction level of QSs in using BIM software and tend to improvise the unsatisfied criteria in order to accelerate the adoption rate of BIM software. |
