BIM based computerized quantity take-off and cost-estimating solution has flourished in the last 4-5 years. Quantity take off procedure can be enhanced with BIM as estimate of the quantities are derived from BIM models and the model contains the information on all the objects in the building in addition to their dimensions.

Contractors and subcontractors give project owners their cost estimates for the project to be completed. The business models, though, are of two forms — it’s either design, bid, build where the project owner chooses a contractor after the design phase or design-build where both design and construction phases are done by one contractor.
