BIM Estimating Process
Our BIM estimators follow a streamlined process to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance:
Initial Consultation and BIM Setup
Estimators discuss your project goals, budget, timeline, and design preferences, integrating blueprints or design concepts into BIM software (e.g., Revit). They assess site conditions (e.g., humidity, flood zones, seismic risks) and local code requirements. Book your consultation at 561-530-2845.
Site Analysis and BIM Data Integration
Estimators conduct on-site inspections or analyze digital plans, importing data into BIM for 3D modeling. They measure square footage, structural elements, access constraints, and environmental factors (e.g., salt air, seismic activity), gathering local supplier pricing and regional labor data.
BIM Material and Labor Takeoffs
Using Revit or Navisworks, estimators perform automated material takeoffs (e.g., concrete, lumber, marine-grade fixtures) and labor hour calculations for each trade, factoring in regional wage rates ($40–$100/hour) and market variations.
Cost Projection and BIM Budget Development
Estimators compile itemized BIM budgets, including materials, labor, equipment, permits, contingencies (10–15%), and value engineering options. BIM provides 3D/4D/5D cost models and clash detection for financial clarity.
Permitting and Compliance Analysis in BIM
Estimators project permitting costs and use BIM to verify compliance with local codes, FEMA regulations, NFPA 101, and ADA standards, addressing wind-load requirements, flood-proofing, or seismic retrofits.
Final BIM Estimate Delivery and Review
You receive a detailed BIM report with cost breakdowns, timeline projections, 3D visualizations, clash detection results, and cost-saving recommendations. Estimators review the estimate with you, refining details. Request your BIM report at 561-530-2845.

Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM)
BIM can be utilized in various types of building construction projects, its use in bridge construction has been limited. Instead of vertical architecture, bridges are horizontal travel ways, and the projects are by default heavy construction projects. Like a version of BIM customized to suit bridge projects, BrIM provides a complete representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a bridge asset, offering an information resource for its entire lifecycle.
Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) boosts the quality of design with accurate information, consistent documentation, and improved constructability of structures. BrIM allows for accurate pre-fabrication and just-in-time material deliveries and supports project collaboration across disciplines.
Best BIM Softwares
Ravit
Revit® BIM software helps architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams create high-quality buildings and infrastructure. Model shapes, structures, and systems in 3D with parametric accuracy, precision, and ease. Streamline documentation work, with instant revisions to plans, elevations, schedules, and sections as projects change
Naviswork
Navisworks is another BIM solution created by Autodesk. The main difference between Navisworks and Revit is that Navisworks is more about being a project review solution for AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) professionals. As with Revit, it is also capable of working with MS Windows, and it can also work together with other Autodesk 3D solutions to open and combine their models, review them and navigate through them with barely any difficulty.
