Short description Requirements engineering provides a way of bridging the gap between developers and users to enable user-informed developments and implementation of Computer Integrated Engineering. It helps acquire explicit and tacit knowledge, user requirements, problems and bottlenecks and defines what to develop, how to develop and when to implement, and enables effective computer integrated systems , such as BIM implementation, to operate effectively in construction.
