Building owners and developers

• A fast benchmark cost plan of the project based on cost estimates built up from basic resources, rates of production and the current price of resources/commodities. (Rather than adjusted historic cost based cost plans)

• Fast and direct generation of area/accommodation schedules from the model as design develops
• A view of the project from the perspective of a Contractor but done on behalf of the Developer/Investors to enable more effective negotiation with potential suppliers/contractors.
• A means of forecasting and managing Cash Flow.
• A fast and objective tool for quantifying change and differentiating between change and design development.
• Outputs utilised directly in Schedule management software.
• Production of 2d and 3d annotated drawings including sections direct from the model.
• 3d construction sequences and buildability reviews
• Clashes detected – drawings co-ordinated.
• Set of cost data ready for utilisation in project management and enterprise control systems
