While Building Information Modelling (BIM) is widely adopted in architecture and engineering, its implementation in landscape architecture remains limited. This paper presents a comparative study of Autodesk Revit and Vectorworks, evaluating their suitability for Landscape Information Modelling (LIM). The comparison focuses on modelling techniques, data integration, and usability. Given the complexity of BIM software selection, a comprehensive evaluation framework was developed through literature review. To validate the findings from the literature review, expert interviews were conducted with BIM professionals in the landscape industry, and the collected data were analysed using the multi-criteria decision-making methods AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). The study aims to provide insights to enhance landscape modelling workflows and promote broader adoption of LIM within the profession.
