dc.description.abstract Over the past eras, dawn of innovative technologies in construction industry intensified, where Building Information Modelling (BIM) has established as a collaborative tool. Although construction industry is deemed to be conservative, the adoption of BIM redefined traditional professional boundaries. Quantity Surveyor (QS) is one prominent role which needs to compete with aforesaid challenge, where the history provides substantial evidences to its amenability. However, this conversion may influence in either way, where it can upgrade or downgrade the profession since unwieldiness may adhere to the situation, it‘s being used. Hence, this paper aimed at identifying comparative effectiveness of BIM in performing QSs‘ tasks. Through an extensive literature study features of BIM, QSs‘ practices, and the competency of performing BIM adhered QSs‘ tasks were discovered. A documentary survey utilized for the identification of potential capabilities of performing QSs‘ tasks through BIM tools finally, a content analysis was conducted to analyse the data using a qualitative approach. It was revealed that when executing traditional QSs‘ tasks, BIM has proven a great adeptness and contrariwise for modern tasks. Tasks directly linked with numerals experience splendid benefits through BIM. Thus, it was concluded it is advantageous to perform traditional QSs‘ tasks through en_US
