Well I am certainly going to make use of superlative degrees to express my reaction regarding BIM model based on cost estimation in this blog. This is simply because the BIM based cost estimation model is super rich in its information composition. The vast information that it carries is worth appreciating and useful. A 5D BIM model is like a wedding feast for the contractors, engineers’ architects and the owners wherein a huge information menu is allowed to them to choose from. Whatever information is demanded in the process of construction is all stuffed in the model. It’s up to the different teams that are involved in the project execution to use the data as per their requirements.
As far as information is concerned there is no dearth of it in a 5D BIM model. It is actually an extension of 4D, wherein the addition of one more dimension makes it to 5D. That dimension is ‘cost estimation,’ which when integrated with the BIM 4D Services makes the extended model capable of telling the total project cost of the ongoing building process.
Time period to construct the building can also be calculated: Since it remains the upgraded version of 4D time required to complete a project can also be calculated from it. The awareness of the time taken to build an individual part of the building makes it easy for the contractors to allot the resources and equipment needed onsite on time. Availability of the resources and the materials hardly ever becomes an issue due to this. The task on hand obviously speeds up when all the necessary material is available to the workforce.
The pre-calculation of the project cost massively helps the contractors in reducing the extra cost on the project. This is possible since the project cost is already know with the assistance of material take offs, the wastages is saved to a great extent by appropriately using the material. In fact the material in the hand can be best optimized to get the better results by making slight changes in the strategy here and there.
On time deliveries are achieved: With the optimization of the cost based BIM model clients can be delivered the project on time. On time deliveries become reality because of the proper management that occurs during the process. Since architects and engineers are available with every detail related to the process they handle the work efficiently and effectively which ultimately completes the project fast.
So when we talk about cost estimation based model there is an endless list of benefits which are applicable to all the teams working on the completion of the project.
