BIM 5D
What is BIM 5D?
BIM 5D is the process where the cost dimension factor is added to information models focused on construction. These virtual 3D models contain a large amount of information about all types of structural components such as building models, walls, roofs, infrastructure, and various systems such as electrical and mechanical.
Benefits of BIM 5D modeling
Better cost control
Through a list of quantities, we proceed to track and monitor indirectly, which allows for greater precision of each of the factors to be measured in cost control focused on companies and builders.
Fast quantity evaluation
It involves a precise analysis of quantities derived from models to generate high efficiency within workflows, optimizing within the design teams in BIM processes.
Effective and fast calculation
Using BIM in calculations speeds up each type of procedure, turning results into the optimization of working hours focused on these types of processes. By automating the extraction of measurements, human error is also reduced, ensuring higher project quality.
Work quality measurement
By improving the quality of work through procedures, greater control is generated with reference to productivity, which translates into cost savings for those companies focused on construction and design.
Cost predictability
When the fifth dimension is integrated into BIM, it enables the execution of more efficient and sustainable projects, which allows frequent monitoring of costs at different stages of the project.

BIM 5D modeling stages
Preliminary project
In this phase, it is important to analyze the economic and social feasibility of the project based on the objectives of the program requirements. Within this stage, parameters or attributes can be created to measure the price of the elements in units such as square meters, cubic meters, etc.
Basic project
In the Basic Project phase, the goal of BIM is to create an approximate budget and a preliminary estimate of the material execution of the projected work by chapters. This stage requires the incorporation of the following elements into the project: graphical information to be included, non-graphical information contained in the basic design report, description of the construction systems, and description of the anticipated installation systems.
Execution project
During the project execution phase, the focus is on achieving the objectives established in the design phase and the early stages of construction. Through the level of detail, what is necessary to start the digital developments of a construction project is established.
With BIM 5D, budget management has never been so easy
