The development of automated system for evaluating design changes fee using BIM support

Traditional methods of evaluating design changes fee in construction projects often lead to dispute. Sometimes it leads to unacceptable claim because it is not easy for consultant engineers to justify the amount of changes they have performed. This study has been done with the aim to propose the new...
