19. Comparison between the 5D-BIM Cost Planning with the Traditional Cost
Planning Method:
5D-BIM Cost Planning Traditional Cost Planning
Gradually developed cost information
Cost planning developed gradually, replacing
each item one by one.
Autonomous documents
There is no connection between versions as one
estimate is created per page. Binding two variance
could be a difficult process.
Inļ¬nite releases
Cost information can be replaced gradually so
that the results can be viewed at any time and
creates inļ¬nite releases of cost plan.
Limited number
Amount of work in creating traditional estimate is
limited due to the short of time.
Model based and automated input
Automated input and construction quantities
derived from the 3D model.
Traditional estimation drawing and manual
take-off
The quantity take-off is being performed
manually or semi manually, resulting in a time-
consuming process.
Model and integration
Model in 5D cost planning gives visual feedback
for any selected cost item, thus the integration
with the design allow better understanding as to
where the cost is being raised.
Paper and disconnection
Cost estimating is paper-based. The input is
disconnected and doesnāt have any relation with
the results and 2D plane or design.
Immediate feedback
Provide immediate feedback on each design
decision, much more dynamic and easier solution
to keep budget on track.
Comparison between budget versions needed
Comparing versions with one another is not an
easy task, any changes in description will make it
difficult to ļ¬nd matches between two versions.
Visualizing the model from different views
Software generates a 3D model, allow easier plan
and elevation from different directions.
Two-dimension view
Given physical 2D architectural and structural
drawing.
Participation in decision making
The cost planning in 5D-BIM becomes part of the
design process as it provides cost feedback
immediately on each design decision made.
Cost feedback on design
Traditional cost estimating is typically performed
after the design is completed.
Work successfully with complicated projects Not recommended in complicated projects
Create connections between the project
stakeholders
No connection between the project
stakeholders
Project participants work individually.
20. Comparison between the cost planning process of 5D-BIM and traditional
method
5D-BIM cost planning process:
1. First, import the 3D-BIM model to 5D-BIM tool.
2. Secondly, determine elements of cost planning for the 3D-BIM model.
3. Thirdly, calculate the quantities for the determined element.
4. Lastly, price the quantity for the 3D elements using the date base of pricing.
Traditional cost planning process:
1. First, analyse the project by dividing the project into elements.
2. Secondly, extract quantities of the elements.
3. Thirdly, price the quantities by using companyās old records or similar
estimates.
4. Lastly, complete the estimate by printing the estimated prices on the worksheet.

23. Disadvantage of 6D BIM
i) High Setup Cost
Setup cost for 6D BIM software is relevantly expensive to install and also
to hire an expertise or veriļ¬ed trainer to train the people to use this
program, the cost for it is high hence this would be the major
disadvantage of this whole system.
ii) Incompatibility Issue
This happened mainly in Malaysia because construction industry in
Malaysia still not on par with the current technology of construction as
most of the construction company prefer to stick with the traditional
method as it is more practical and economical to practice therefore most
of the time, this software is having incompatibility where some people do
not have to software to access the ļ¬le etc.
iii) Lack of Experts
This contribute to the increase of the setup cost because this technology
is somewhat new in the neighbourhood especially in Malaysia hence the
number of existing experts that mastered the software is very less
resulting in less amount of people that able to use this software.

26. List of Software for 7D model:
1. Bentley Facilities
Their mission is to create a well maintained campus
infrastructure that is supported and to ensure that
they provide the highest quality of service efficiently
to all of their customers.
Bentley facilities can be classiļ¬ed into three categories which are:
1. Bentley Facilities Planner,
- Bentley Facilities Planner allows information to be obtained easily and quickly on
location and state of space and asset.
2. Bentley Facilities Manager
- Bentley Facilities Manager keeps all of the information related to the facilities in
a powerful window and it also gives out authorities
3. Bentley Facilities Administrator.
- Bentley Facilities Administrator is designed to be plug in to the ProjectWise
Administrator.
2. EcoDomus
EcoDomus is an IT ļ¬rm that focuses on improving the ways a building is designed,
built, managed, retroļ¬tted using BIM. EcoDomus manages facility data via Common
Data Environment(CDE). It enables internet of things by providing core facility
information and integrating BIM with building automation systems and SCADA. It
gives a 3D view of facilities without too much hassle for facility managers that links
Asset Information Model in BIM with real time facility data operations acquired.
27. 3. FM:Systems FM:Interact
FM: Systems BIM software allows AEC and other
professional facilities to connect Autodesk Revit models
to cloud-based system to assist in managing spaces,
propose the next maintenance and so on. FM:Interact
maintains live integration between buildings models
and the system, this enables AEC and FM professionals
to share ideas during design, construction, and
throughout building lifecycle.
4. Onuma System
Onuma is an ecosystem of tools, platforms and services
for buildings, cities and more. It is used for early
planning, through design and construction and into
operations. Onuma allows data to ļ¬ow in many formats,
to connect and synchronise with other systems well. It is
also does not require any software installations. Data
still ļ¬ows from the system into cloud, offline
applications, and into others such as Google, Sketchup,
Revit, and more, regardless if itās online or offline.
5. Vintocon ArchiFM (For ArchiCAD)
ArchiCAD is the most widely used architectural design system. Its 3-dimensional
CAD software is combined as an organic part to cooperate during graphic and
database operations. ArchiFM is able to retrieve a lot of information from existing
ļ¬oor plans. This speeds up the process of uploading datas and serves as a starting
point for graphic operation.
28. Advantages to CSCM
i) Effective operational cost
BIM allows the incorporation of environmental
considerations and life cycle operation, as well as the
maintenance costs into the designing process cost
effectively. In BIM, the workplace productivity factors will be
taken into account equally based on statistical workplace
performance data that is reliable.. The involvement of BIM
minimizes losses as well as reduce operational costs in
the near future.
ii) Shorter time for decision making
It allows the information and database for required
analysis and evaluation to be obtained in a shorter time
frame. FM models could be combined with building system
controls to monitor building performances, allowing facility
managers to improve building equipments to ensure they
perform at their maximum potential.
iii) Resource for decision making
BIM FM provides well grounded facility information
database and incorporated views of all the facility system
to allow facility managers to be able to retrieve and analyse
information about the whole system. It enables a new way
of analyzing the behaviour of a building to plan the next
maintenance and repair work in facilities.
iv) Better documentation system
Without the use of paper, data can be captured and
modiļ¬ed using devices. This makes things easier for staffs.
It also reduces the space for data storage and creates a
sustainable environment in a workplace. Instead of using
blueprints, 3D models can be used to reconcile real
components.
30. - RECOMMENDATIONS -
The future of BIM
The future of the construction industry is digital, and BIM is the future of design
and long term facility management. Furthermore, it is government led and driven
by technology and clear processes and it is implementing change across all
industries. As hardware, software and cloud applications indicate greater capability
to handle increasing amounts of raw data and information, we feel that the use of
BIM will become even more important.
āGovernment as a client can derive signiļ¬cant
improvements in cost, value and carbon performance
through the use of open shareable asset information.ā
Recommendations for better services:
1) Flexibility Changes
Allowing more ļ¬exibility through different processes will therefore make even
more changes and transfer into advantages. This can make the Bills of Quantities
to be processed more accurately with the updated cost of the materials in the
industry.
2) Resistant to Viruses or Corruption
Electronically transmitted information becoming corrupted or altered is also a
main concern. Such concerns should not be seen for future services to prevent
progress of projects.
3) Ability to identify various ļ¬le formats
The technology these days uses different type of software/ļ¬le formats to
identify. As the ļ¬le format that can be read for BIM is only the BIMļ¬le, without a
computer having the software, it will not be accessible. Therefore, if the ļ¬le can be
saved as PDF, an international format, information can be delivered easier.
