BIM-Based Cost Estimation (5D BIM)

Model-led coordination and quantity intelligence that connects design information with constructability and cost.

What this solves

Connect design changes to cost movement in the model.

5D BIM links model quantities with cost information so teams can see how evolving design decisions affect the budget.

We establish a cost structure, map usable model elements to work items and identify information that still requires manual measurement or assumptions. Updated models can then support faster, more transparent cost comparisons.

Best fit for

  • Developers monitoring design-to-budget alignment
  • Cost managers updating estimates through design
  • BIM teams connecting models with cost codes
  • Design teams comparing cost alternatives
01

Structure

Define cost codes, model parameters, measurement rules and reporting needs.

02

Link

Map validated model quantities to cost items and pricing inputs.

03

Update

Report cost changes, exceptions and major drivers as the model evolves.
