5D BIM — Cost Management

What we can offer you

We integrate cost data with your BIM model for real-time budget tracking, forecasting, and value engineering across the entire project lifecycle — turning the model into a live financial management tool, not just a design record.

The 5D Value Chain

3D Model (parametric Revit elements) → + Quantities (automated QTO) → + Cost Data (linked rate library) → = 5D Model (live cost-loaded model) → Reporting (real-time dashboards) → Value Engineering (instant cost comparison ofdesign alternatives)

This chain means that any change to the model — a material swap, a layout revision, a scope addition — flows automatically through to updated quantities and updated cost, without a separate manual re-estimation cycle.

Service Deliverables

  • Cost-loaded BIM model (Revit/IFC)
  • Elemental cost plan (NRM1/BCIS aligned)
  • Monthly cost reports linked directly to the construction programme
  • Variation/change order cost impact analysis, quantifying the financial effect ofdesign changes as they happen
  • Cashflow forecast generated from combined 4D + 5D integration
