Abstract

In recent times, vertical construction in Pakistan is increasing rapidly, and the assessment of the commercial viability of buildings and malls has become vital for developers. This allows them to mold their projects in a fashion that maximizes profit potential. For this purpose, a framework using the visual programming language Dynamo and Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been developed. The Dynamo code enables real estate developers and private business owners to assess and gauge the commercial viability of lease spaces within a building, such as evaluating a shop space based on given parameters. In a computational example, an outlet located in a commercial building is ranked according to various factors identified through a market survey conducted among professionals in Pakistan’s retail and hospitality industries. For the scope of this project, various factors have been identified as contributing most to the enhancement of a property’s commercial viability and ease of leasing. This pioneering tool is the first of its kind and, due to its unique nature, will provide retail industry owners with insights into the project’s valuation, its investment viability, and necessary design adjustments required for optimal success.
