dc.description.abstractThe Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data schema developed by the BuildingSMART International has been the major and most widely used solution to interoperability challenges in Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Despite its wide acceptance by software vendors and the industry in general, studies have reported the schema to be inadequate as it does not fully cater for local requirements/standards which vary from one country to the other and, therefore, researchers have developed schema extensions to capture local requirements of different countries across various domains. In Nigeria, the Building and Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (BESMM 4) is currently the standard of measurement of construction works and, to date, an assessment of how well the IFCs data schema supports the measurement of construction works using the BESMM 4 is not known. Therefore, this paper as part of a study proposing schema extensions for cash flow management identifies building products that support BlM-bascd quantity take-off with their corresponding IFC entities, classes and attributes based on the current IFC Data Schema (IFC4 Add 1). Qualitative research approach based on desktop studies and document analysis was employed in identifying building products as contained in the BESMM 4, and then the corresponding IFC specifications that describe these building products were similarly identified in the most recent of IFC Data Schema (IFC4 Add 1). The study concludes that current BIM platforms and software application cannot adequately support quantity take-off of building works using BESMM 4.
