... through advances in artificial intelligence. Practical implications The framework provides structured guidance for practitioners and researchers on selecting, applying and enhancing BIM tools for quantity takeoff and cost estimation. Originality/value The study consolidates dispersed...

.... Findings Eighteen approaches to applying BIM in project cost management were identified. The approaches can be grouped into cost control and cost estimation. Also, BIM can be applied independently or integrated with other techniques. The integrated approaches for cost control include integration...

... results, it was found that the estimation model converged at about 85 times; compared with radial basis function (RBF), the estimation accuracy of the model was higher, and the average error was 5.54 per cent, showing a good reliability in cost estimation. Originality/value The results of this study...

...Ayedh Alqahtani; Andrew Whyte Purpose This paper aims to identify the main non-cost factors affecting accurate estimation of life cycle cost (LCC) in building projects. Design/methodology/approach Ten factors affecting LCC in building project cost estimates are identified through literature...
