Construction Cost Prediction Based on Genetic Algorithm and BIM

Abstract

According to the analysis and prediction of engineering cost, a BIM-aided analysis method based on GA network model is proposed. First, we improve the neural network by genetic algorithm; second, according to the engineering feature vector, BIM software is used to train the GA network model; finally, the GA network model reaches a steady state, given prediction of Engineering cost. According to the experimental study of 20 high-rise residential buildings in YJW area, the experimental results show that the proposed GA model combined with BIM auxiliary analysis method can accurately and easily complete the project cost prediction.
