BIM technology effectively divides technical personnel into two main stages, while cost management is typically split into design planning and operational management phases. Previously, the overall efficiency at each stage was relatively low. To enhance the integration between these stages and improve overall cost management, the primary goal of implementing cost management strategies in various projects is to optimize project investment.
1. Contract Management Stage: The focus here is on a detailed exploration of cost information to comprehensively control project expenses. Using BIM technology for cost management allows for more efficient and accurate extraction of engineering quantities across various project phases. However, since calculation software and cost software often lack integration, adjustments can be challenging. When project quantities change, the BIM model can be promptly updated with new information, enabling scientific and precise revisions of the original engineering costs.
2. Dynamic Cost Monitoring: Cost engineers track construction costs based on the principle: current project cost = contract cost + change project cost. This approach helps provide investors with targeted advice, enabling them to develop effective cost control measures and fully leverage building models for cost management. Additionally, BIM technology supports cost accounting under different frameworks and can determine project costs depending on specific stage conditions through data analysis and regional selection. This improves both overall project quality and payment processes. When BIM model data processing is connected to the Internet, it facilitates faster interactive handling of workloads and other data, allowing all participants easy access and identification online.
That concludes our overview of how BIM technology contributes to management during the operational phase. I hope this article provides valuable insights for everyone!
