BIM is more than just well-known software like CAD that looks to benefit builders and construction companies. It also serves as a repository for digitalized information relevant to a specific construction project, as well as a carrier for storing and sharing related knowledge resources that can be added, extracted, or updated in real-time at any stage of the project, allowing relevant staff to complete their work and perform their functions with its timely assistance.
The expected or real expenditures paid for an entire project, which includes the construction and installation price incurred in transaction activities in equipment, technology, and labor markets, as well as the overall price of this construction project, are referred to as construction project costs. Project costs are reasonable in comparison to the project’s cost. Project costs are essentially all of the costs that a construction organization incurs, including labor, raw materials, and equipment costs; indirect costs, such as all administrative and testing charges; profit after completion; all taxes; and other project costs.
In recent years, BIM technology has been widely used to control costs in a variety of projects. Examining design drawings and construction documentation; using BIM technology to consolidate and collect quantitative changes in a project so that cost management can be performed; updating BIM models on real-time changes in a project, evaluating and sharing real-time information on collaborative management platforms, and settling project costs are some of its main functions.
After construction is completed, project expenses are the last but most important step in project cost management. Relevant staff is required to present a holistic picture of the project costs incurred over the course of the entire construction by summarizing related contracts and agreements drawn up previously, estimated costs and expenses, and materials required for local government and other related organizations. In this time frame, applying BIM to project cost management may considerably enhance accuracy and efficiency. BIM is a system with a large database that allows all project contents engaged in a specific build to be assembled. Its unstructured database may collaborate with project cost management platforms to communicate information.
When it comes to project cost management, BIM is a cutting-edge technology that offers significant benefits. To begin with, BIM technology can provide the most up-to-date information with project cost management employees as soon as possible. This information is regularly updated in sync with real-time changes in a project.
Traditional project cost management is delayed owing to belated information, but BIM technology can gather and communicate updated information to workers in real time, which is an efficient way to handle the issue. Furthermore, its use results in effective project cost management. The management of building quality and costs is demonstrated by the essence of project expenses. BIM technology is an information-model-based tool that appears to be superior in supporting engineering employees in conducting the most efficient management.
Finally, when applied to project costs, it makes each aspect of project cost management fair-grained and well-grounded. The precise conditions of many projects differ. Unlike traditional project cost management, which estimates the total price fairly based on the specific expenses required for each part of the total project quantity, BIM technology estimates the total price reasonably based on the specific expenses required for each part of the total project quantity.
