Although, I believe they would give an accurate percentage of at least 90%. Or why would construction companies be adopting these new ideas and technology? So yes I believe they would provide efficient enough measurements and number to allow a QS to provide an accurate measure. Although, this is where I believe an experienced QS would become useful to cast their eye over complex and difficult jobs to help scan for odd or difficult measurements that a computer or technology can't.

Through the use of advancing BIM technologies, Quantity Surveyors are able to view a building in its future design stages to accurately determine material and service components, and to provide professional input into these designs. 
Without these technologies, building designs are largely based of theory, engineering principles and past designs, but once a BIM component is added, the design and procurement process is sped up and advanced, leading to a faster, more efficient building process.

In term of BQ production, Microsoft Excel is widely used for doing taking off and preparation of BQ. It has the ability to reduce the burden of timesing and squaring as well as checking of this two steps.

Software such as COST X, Cubit is enabled to quickly and accurately takeoff quantities from 2D drawings and generate automatic quantities from 3D models . For example, BIM using our user-friendly fully integrated on-screen electronic measurement system tools. Prepare estimates, bills of quantities and tenders easily and all in a fraction of the time and cost.

Other benefits of using quantity surveying software include the ability to start the takeoff process right from the image or blueprint file type using simple, point-click powerful tools. This minimizes the time required for measurements using tools that allow measurement reproductions. The best quantity surveying software also comes with features that allow selective copying of measurements from one drawing to another. They essentially convert all surveying and quantity data of the construction project like drawing files, photocopies of plans, measurements, etc., into one versatile, easy to use the ‘electronic’ file that is readily available.

Measurement software is designed to make measurement easier and work faster for quantitative surveyors. Based on my own experience, I agree this opinion more. Just like using a calculator, it's not that human calculations are not as accurate as calculators at all, but that calculators are not that easy to make mistakes. If the software can't even help quantitative surveyors to get more accurate results,  what is the significance of their existence?

Some of the more-advanced features of CostX are the auto-revision and bill production functions. These tools reduce the time taken to carry out the repetitive processes of identifying variations between drawing issues and the production of Bills of Quantities. Thus, freeing up more time for the surveyor to carry out value-adding activities.
Although no tool is a complete replacement for the professional using it, measurement software such as CostX has quickly become a vital component for the modern Quantity Surveyor. Consistently delivering quality, time and cost-saving benefits, adopters of the technology are already seeing the advantages it can offer their business and the industry as a whole.

A advanced Measurement software can avoid the repeat work of the Quantity Surveyor, software like Cubit can easily get the dimension from the shop drawings, which saved a lot of time. 

From another perspective, these Measurement software can also regulate the expression form as a more clear electronic format.

Excel is a good example in the measurement process. As long as the specific formula is entered, the result will appear immediately and other cells of the same algorithm can also get the number at the same time. In addition, the software can turn paper drawings into electronic versions for easier storage and viewing. (Zhuoran Liang)

Using Measurement software can be efficient as the drawings can be uploaded to the software to be scaled. Which is faster than the old way, measuring from the drawing. And errors can be avoided.

Offering quantity, time and cost-saving benefits to quantity surveyors, measurement software can bring advantages to the business and the entire industry. Measurement software can help quantity surveyors to perform complex measurement tasks more efficiently. It can scale and quantify building plans to accurate millimeters, although it takes less time than traditional methods, but it also provides higher accuracy than is usually achievable. Reduces the need to print drawings repeatedly. Improvements in time and accuracy have also been improved when measuring well-made BIM models. So Measurement software is efficient in Allowing Quantity Surveyors to produce accurate measurement.

So, it is efficient.

However, skilled quantity surveyors are still required to input, present and comprehend the data which is presented from the software.
