Define the use before the exchange
Not every model property belongs in the estimate. We select what is needed to measure, compare versions or prepare procurement, and assign validation ownership.
BIM can provide quantities and traceability, but cost control needs rules: classification, level of detail, versions, prices and links to the cost codes used by procurement and site teams.
Element and chapter classification
Extracted and validated quantities
Rates, productivity and build-ups
Model changes and estimate changes
Not every model property belongs in the estimate. We select what is needed to measure, compare versions or prepare procurement, and assign validation ownership.
The flow records source model, date, measurement rules and unclassified elements. Changes are reviewed before quantities or values are updated.
The resulting structure should support procurement packages, production tracking and cost analysis, even when systems retain different levels of detail.
