Question 1.

BIM is a well-recognised concept throughout the global AEC industries and its
potential benefits
are well documented. 3D modelling software which supports BIM is also widely used for design.
Notwithstanding this, industry-wide BIM workflows are yet to become fully implemented. Around
the world, various authorities are taking steps to encourage or even to legislate the use of BIM to
capitalise on the benefits that can be gained from its implementation.

Question 2. For a particular building type there are inherent relationships in the geometry of its
design that directly impact on its cost – its “cost geometry”. These relationships are defined at the
earliest design stages and are the framework upon which the project scope is built.

The ability to generate cost data and communicate it in a visual form by connection to the CAD
drawings has several benefits. One is the value added through interaction. Rather than a static
hard copy document, an understandable and interactive cost model will be available for all
stakeholders to view in pursuing their particular contribution to the building process.
