Estimating and BOM Production
Estimating and BOM Production: In the evolving world of design, where 3D is increasingly replacing 2D, the demand for model-based estimating is escalating. ISAT stands at the forefront of this shift, offering design model estimates well ahead, without waiting for 90-100% Construction Documents (CDs). We can scale a rough order of magnitude based on the current Level of Detail (LOD), providing an invaluable resource for subcontractors.
Our comprehensive support empowers subcontractors to obtain preliminary budget figures, enabling better project planning and outcomes. Additionally, our front-end review of design models provides us with the opportunity to pinpoint potential value engineering solutions and flag any issues before they arise.
Cost estimates are a daily function of the ISAT team.
The importance of data extraction and management in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process cannot be overstated. Extracting spooling information from Revit can pose significant challenges for clients, often overwhelming their workflows. However, the ISAT team excels in this area. Our experts have the ability to discern what is essential for fabrication and can extract the necessary data for your supports to be constructed.
Terms to know before you bid a job under the IBC:
Component Importance Factor (Ip) With the IBC specifically, the project consulting team is now responsible for classifying the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems and utilities based on their particular end use (Component Importance Factor Ip). This classification has a tremendous impact on how the utility is braced and what size will need bracing. Determining these utility classifications and determining the financial impact should happen at the same time. Seismic Design Category (SDC).
