BIM and the Estimator

Cassell Construction Estimating

I’ve been asked by one of my industry software provider friends to write a piece on the current state of Building Information Modeling (BIM), as it relates to estimating in the here and now. The 3-D model can be rotated and viewed from any angle, including virtual walk-through capability. So how does this relate to estimating?

BIM based visual estimation with Quantity takeoff Software

Construction Cost Estimating

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.
