The use of computer technology has allowed designers to explore inspiring and radical design ideas. And, when these ideas are presented to clients the designers are challenged with “Can this world-class architecture be constructed within the project budget?” Surely computer technology can assist designers to monitor predicted construction costs? Surely computer technology can automate the tedious task of measuring, counting and organizing design components for cost estimating? This webinar explores the challenges and successes of using BIM for predicting construction costs through a series of three presentations provided by Beck Technology, Project Time & Cost, Inc. and Vico Software.
This presentation is a part of the ongoing AIA Technology in Architectural Practice webinar series. View the complete series archive.
