Pay close attention to the math and follow the logic and in the end we will arrive at a useful range of markups that can be used for facilities budgetary estimating. Estimate contingency should not be an excuse to skip the due diligence.

The majority of BIM use remained in the design, procurement and planning stages and as such, only isolated current impacts on the CM were suggested. For example, the use of the BIM model to produce cost and time estimates has been identified as a paradigm shift (Gier 2008).

Structural engineers, detailers and fabricators struggle with siloed teams, disconnected workflows, and varying software platforms that do not integrate seamlessly. Integrate structural analysis and design with BIM to improve the quality of the structural design. Accurate BOM procures only needed quantity.

Life-cycle information exchanges have previously been identified in the structural steel domain—an analysis model, a design model, and a detailed model. The analysis model reflects the needs of structural engineers to evaluate the requirements of the building and size the system to meet the facility’s requirements.
