Cost

What it is

Quantities and cost drawn from the model itself, updating as the design moves.

5D takes quantities and cost straight from the model rather than a separate take-off, so the number moves with the design instead of lagging it. Change the geometry and the cost follows.

That closes the gap between design decision and cost consequence — the place where budgets are usually lost.

What it delivers

• Quantities and cost drawn from the model itself
• Cost that updates as the design moves
• Design decisions tied to their cost consequence
• An end to the disconnected, out-of-date take-off
