In an era of rising costs and new technology, here’s how to bring more accuracy to construction estimating. . When it comes time to kick off a new construction job, an accurate estimate is the first step toward project success. What is a Construction Estimate? Usually, an accurate estimate is set before you place a bid.

Since the “accepted” definition of BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology , it’s easy to see that BIM is part process and part technology, with the goal of developing and using current, accurate, shared information to optimize proactive decision-making.

According to some estimates, an average of 35% of projects experience at least one major change throughout the life of the project.
