The use of BIM can help quantity surveyors to speed up the estimating process by supporting the use of the New Rules of Measurement, says new RICS research published in January.

Accurate quantities take-off is crucial to project success, without which, accurate pricing of construction project is impossible. Not to mention the dispute and conflict between stakeholder because of lack of accuracy.

At East West Consultings Group, we use the power of BIM to accurately take off quantities, manage design changes and variations, create an accurate cost and procurement plan with 5D modeling. This is in addition to BOQ Validation, Cash Flow Analysis, etc. as follows.

Engineering Management

  • Ensuring Coordinated Design
  • Coordination between Parties
  • Standards and Procedure (Naming Convention, Drawing Standards…etc.)
  • Shared Document Management
  • Value Engineering

Procurement Management

  • Identifying most optimum material (Time, Coordination, Spec’s, Local availability)
  • Procurement Planning (Timely Delivery)

Contract Management

  • Early Engagement of essential parties
  • Exact scope and quantities definition

Construction Planning

  • Construction Sequence Optimization
  • Labour Planning
  • Equipment Planning
  • Material Planning

Cash Flow Planning

  • Cash Flow Planning and Optimization

Project Monitoring and Control

  • BIM-Based Project Monitoring
  • Review through Online Model Viewer

As-Built

  • Ensure correct As-built
  • Info for FM

Value Engineering / Prefabrication

  • Pushing towards Prefabrication to reduce On-Site Construction
  • Consider alternative Design Systems
  • Consider in design (time of construction, availability of material, construction wastage…etc.)
