By using Glodon software as a BIM tool, QS works in future may have better reliability, efficiency, and effectively quality. This is because BIM has benefits like reduce human errors, produce reliable quantities, faster quantity take off, and more competitive cost estimates as it has a database full of latest information (prices....) of the industry. BIM also helps on visualising the elements, items for measurements. It has 3D modelling system. BIM tool can also use for project management, from beginning until the end of the project. This will help on better informed decision making, and better controls the management of project cost.

# data[].attributes.body
The system has been helping in visualising the actual elements into 3D models such as rebar and mesh installation which was not possible previously. It reduces the risk of missing out on elements during the quantity take-off. It has also provided us with valuable and confident information when reporting to the management for cost analysis. It helps greatly in the profession of quantity surveying to monitor the development progress.

Compared to the traditional calculation, Glodon really can save the time and reduce the work load. Glodon shows the advantages of efficiency and convenience in many aspects. Furthermore, the Glodon BIM Cost Solution, includes BIM-based quantity takeoff software and cost estimation software presents capability of integrating all software to solve difficulties respectively through the whole process of cost business. When i was having my internship, i had the opportunity to use Glodon. After i have tried, i really think that Glodon is very useful for my future. Because it really save a lot of time and not require scale rule to measure the length. I can scale the length by only clicking the mouse. I can use a week to complete the measurement of ground beam, beam, column, slab and etc of a school with carpark, hall and auditorium. Lastly, it is a good software and it is very useful for our future.

Glodon is one of the many BIM softwares available in the market. Many Quantity Surveyors are afraid of losing their job with the upcoming BIM softwares. However, many research papers and opinions from expertise have proved that Glodon or other BIM software will provide a lot of benefit to the Quantity Surveying profession. One of the main reason  to say that Glodon is a useful tool for the QS profession is that it enhance the performance or accelerate the production of a BoQ.  Quantity take-off which is done manually will take a lot of time and effort and the quantity measured are not a 100% correct. During most cases, the time to produce a BoQ is normally insufficient and under measurement is very like to occur. Thus Glodon will be able to minimize this error. Thus the main problem for the Quantity Surveying profession is not "why use BIM", instead it should be "how to use BIM".

The world as we know is transforming into a digital era. The various technological advancement has changed the way we live our daily lives. This advancement also enabled architects and designers to transport us into a world beyond our imaginations. Hence, more complex and challenging buildings are designed. But quantity surveyors face difficulties in quantifying such building. Conventional measurements have reached its limits.

Quantity surveyors are not to be left behind. Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools are created to aid quantity surveyors.One of the tools is Glodon. Glodon is useful in the future quantity surveyors’ work because it is able to measure complex shapes with minimal error. Apart form that, it also saves time. Due to its building modeling abilities, quantity surveyors are able to detect unnecessary cost on screen. In conclusion, Glodon is a tool that will help the quantity surveyors to be on par with the modern construction world.

Glodon is very useful for our future works because it has various features that are very effective and efficient in helping us to prepare the cost plan and tender documents. During the tendering stage, Gldon can help us to finish measurement work by modeling instead of by excel or by hand thus it can save a lot of time and cost. The calculation errors can also be minimize by using Glodon since the     error can be auto corrected in Glodon while the errors can only be found at the later stage in traditional method. When it comes to very big and complicated project, the true value of Glodon will appear and the disadvantage of the traditional method will become very obvious in term of cost and time
