Construction projects are massive and complex undertakings with multiple stakeholders and dependencies. Due to this, some form of conflict is widely considered as almost inevitable and governing contracts, due to several reasons, also have the potential to create delays and disputes. This panel will look at steps that can be taken to better align stakeholders and minimise the potential for projects to be derailed by claims, disputes and delays.

Session Overview
Producing a cost estimate in just ten minutes would have been impossible before the advent of BIM, but in this session you’ll get to see how 5D BIM can make this a reality. Join RIB Software’s Herman van Eeden for a live demonstration, where he imports a model received from the design team, carries out a quantity take-off, cross-references the extracted data against the 2D drawings, and finally takes that information and produces a cost estimate in a format that can be presented directly to the client.
He will also cover some of the common pitfalls, highlight occasions whereby 2D information can still be useful and also highlight how the revisioning process can easily deal with revised design information.
Don’t miss this presentation if you want to learn how 5D BIM can take your cost estimating to the next level!
