Abstract

This research aims to create and compare Building Information Modeling (BIM) at Level of Development (LOD) 300 and LOD400 for a 7-story residential and office building using Autodesk Revit. The study involves quantifying block masonry materials and comparing these quantities to those derived from 2D construction drawings calculated by contractors. The results show that the deviation of material quantities between the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and LOD300 models are 3.98% for 100-mm thick wall masonry, 11.24% for 200-mm thick wall masonry, and 38.85% for wall plastering. At LOD400, the deviations are 10.54% for 100-mm thick wall masonry, 19.18% for 200-mm thick wall masonry, 38.85% for wall plastering, and 0.95% for lintel and beam work. Additionally, it was found that the developed linear regression equations can accurately predict material quantities, with R2 values ranging from 0.9942 to 1, which significantly reduces deviations in material quantity calculations.
