Application Research of Virtual Reality Technology in Cost Estimation Based on Municipal Engineering Information Model
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.
