The Cost of Outdated Estimation Methods
The Problem
Traditional cost estimation is slow, inaccurate, and risky:
6-8 weeks for detailed estimates
±15-20% accuracy margins
Manual errors and missed items
No real-time updates for design changes
Fragmented data across multiple spreadsheets
Real Impact
“For a large warehouse project, a 15% cost overrun can mean the difference between profit and loss, potentially jeopardizing project financing and stakeholder confidence.”

Advanced 5D BIM Cost Estimation combines 3D modeling with cost and time data:
3 days for comprehensive estimates
±5% accuracy guarantee
Automated quantity take-offs from BIM models
Real-time cost impact of design changes
Integrated data in one intelligent system

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What information do you need to provide an estimate?
A: Ideally, a BIM model (IFC or Revit file). If unavailable, we work with 2D drawings + specifications (timelines may extend 2-3 days).
Q: How accurate are your estimates?
A: Our 5D BIM estimates achieve ±5% accuracy (when model is accurate and complete) vs ±15-20% traditional methods. Backed by 20 years experience and 2000+ projects.
Q: Do you work with projects already in construction?
A: Yes! We provide ongoing cost control including weekly reports, change order analysis, and budget tracking.
Q: Can you integrate with our existing software?
A: Yes, we export to Excel, MS Project, Primavera P6, and most cost management platforms.
Q: What project sizes do you handle?
A: It depends on the industry. For warehouses and logistics centers, we handle projects from 5,000 sqm to 100,000+ sqm. For residential and commercial projects, our expertise ranges from small developments to large-scale mixed-use complexes. Each project type has different complexity factors beyond just size.
Q: How do your fees compare?
A: We provide bespoke quotes tailored to each project’s specific requirements, complexity, and scope. Contact us for a customized proposal that meets your needs.
Q: Do you provide estimates for tendering?
A: Absolutely. We offer full tendering support including: quantity take-off, detailed cost estimation, bid document preparation, contractor negotiations, and handover support. Our comprehensive service covers the entire tendering lifecycle.
