Model-Based Cost Estimation (4.2 CPD)
400.00 € (+KM)
The aim of the training is to provide knowledge on how to replace manual work with systematic
data processing: model quality control, enrichment, and dynamic links to the budget. The training focuses on modern and efficient estimating workflows. In today’s tenders, BIM models (IFC) are often available, but estimators do not dare to trust them fully. Often, models are designed carelessly, and information is incomplete or unstructured.
This training is about how to take a “raw” or even faulty model and make it suitable for your needs using
Simplebim. The goal is not to replace the estimator’s thinking, but to provide them with tools so they do not have to perform tedious “ruler work.”
During the training, we build a complete workflow: from model auditing and standardization to the automatic derivation of complex quantities (e.g., finishing layers). The result is a repeatable process where model updates reach the budget in minutes, leaving the professional more time for substantive price analysis.
