The training focuses on modern and efficient estimating workflows. In today&#8217;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.   <\/p>\n<p>This training is about how to take a &#8220;raw&#8221; or even faulty model and make it suitable for your needs using<br \/>\n Simplebim. The goal is not to replace the estimator&#8217;s thinking, but to provide them with tools so they do not have to perform tedious &#8220;ruler work.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[143],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11107","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-simplebim-trainings","6":"pa_access-1-year","7":"pa_keerukustase-average-computer-user","8":"pa_kestus-3h-20m","9":"pa_lang-ee","10":"pa_tp-punktid-2-6-cpd","11":"pa_tunnistus-yes","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"downloadable","16":"virtual","17":"sold-individually","18":"taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Model-Based Cost Estimation | BIM Estimating<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to turn an IFC model into reliable budget input.
