In municipal engineering projects,the accuracy of preliminary cost estimation is very important.In order to more accurately estimate preliminary cost of municipal engineering,this paper takes BIM-based Virtual Reality(VR)technology as the preliminary solution.VR technology based on BIM enables engineering estimates to be au-tomatically updated as stakeholders perform changes at any time,allowing for rapid and highly accurate design ad-justments throughout the project,using technical acceptance models to determine the level of acceptance of virtual reality technologies.Research has shown that the application of virtual reality technology can improve the effi-ciency and accuracy of cost estimation.
