A Study on 5D BIM Implementation for Construction Cost and Quantity Management in the AEC Industry
|
Abstract
The current methods of cost estimating and monitoring of Projects are becoming inoperative as forthcoming construction endeavors are increasing in scale and complexity. The 5D BIM (Building Information Modeling) can integrate cost data with 3D models and time scheduling, it is enabled engineers to predict project expenses more accurately through real-time quantity take-offs and dynamic cost estimation. The AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) professionals and researchers successfully execute their plans in the construction industry. The 5D BIM tools were developed through the medium of information technology. It can be implemented from the very beginning of construction; it can be implemented from land acquisition to operational to the final stage of demolition. This paper presents a practical methodology for quantification of construction materials and cost estimation through the implementation of 5D BIM, into the four levels, foundations and framing, focuses on wall systems, addresses architectural finishing elements, and the MEP system. All levels are demonstrating its effectiveness in quantification and cost estimation through a detailed case study of a multi-storey office building modeled in Autodesk Revit 2019.
