Construction Cost Estimating Services

Construction cost estimating is the process of evaluating the design documents and providing an estimate of how much it would cost to build a project. Traditionally, cost estimators used to read the design drawings and manually calculate material quantities, which was a time consuming and error-prone process.

With the advent of BIM technologies, a virtual model of a building is created that can be used for many purposes. One benefit of having a 3D BIM model of the project is that material quantities can be calculated automatically by a software and exported to different file formats. The material quantities calculated by a software are more accurate as human error is eliminated. It is also more efficient and reduces the estimating time significantly.

At Best BIM, we provide the following services:

• Lists of material quantities
• A BIM model that can be used by client’s cost estimating software
• Material, labor and equipment unit prices
• Construction cost estimate of the project
