Abstract

The ability to automate the process of preparing the bill of quantities is one of the key advantages for the estimator. Such a possibility is provided by the BIM model. The paper discusses key approaches to BIM-based cost estimating, such as exporting quantities, using a specialized BIM measurement tool and a cost estimation system. The opportunities and solutions offered by the Polish application seem to be a significant contribution to software development. This paper attempts to provide a new cost estimation system operating on the BIM model and aims to analyze the attributes required from BIM applications. Hopefully the BIM Vision system and the BIMestiMate presented in the paper will be regarded as appropriate and ready to be applied in BIM-based cost estimation.
