Can Revit be used for estimating?
Revit can be used to develop a detailed construction cost estimate which includes soft costs, e.g. Labor Rate, Labor Hours, Overhead and Profit. Creating Project Parameters, associated with EVERY category, will ensure the cost estimating parameters will be available for ALL content no matter where it came from.
How can BIM technology help cost estimating?
By automating the tedious task of quantifying, BIM allows estimators to use that time instead to focus on higher value project-specific factors – identifying construction assemblies, generating pricing, factoring risks, and so forth – that are essential for high- quality estimates.
How much money do estimators make?
Cost Estimators made a median salary of $65,250 in 2019. The best-paid 25 percent made $86,080 that year, while the lowest-paid 25 percent made $51,300.
