The core objective is to develop a cost management solution tailored to China’s current needs by leveraging BIM software technology, cost estimation tools, project management applications, and facility management (FM) software.
To achieve this, a standardized universal coding system must be established to enable seamless data parsing across different software and platforms. The comprehensive solution encompasses modules covering all facets of cost management: design budgeting, construction budgeting, completion settlement, project management, and operational management. Together, these form an integrated project cost control system.
The implementation process involves four key phases:
① Design: The design institute is responsible for producing and submitting the BIM model, which serves as the foundational modeling reference for all stakeholders (utilizing design institute middleware and Revit).
② Construction: BIM-based bill of quantities bidding will be adopted. The contractor (Party B) must submit bids entirely through BIM, relying on FM bidding conditions, budget middleware, and quantity calculation software. All construction budget data will be embedded within the BIM model.
③ Project Management (PM): The project management team is required to fully implement BIM-WBS middleware (combining project management middleware with PwC software) to facilitate access to historical building component information during future operational phases.
④ Facility Management (FM): Operating units must adopt BIM-FM middleware solutions (FM middleware integrated with Archibus) to ensure all BIM-generated building information transitions directly into the operational stage, thereby maximizing BIM’s value.
Effective project cost control is a complex system that demands the integration of diverse resources, creating a unified force. By merging each subsystem into a cohesive framework, the overall system becomes far more powerful than the sum of its individual parts.
