Open BIM Cost Estimator has been conceived to carry out an automatic estimate of the execution budget of a building project during the preliminary phases of the architectural project, in a simple and practical way, using a fast, efficient and precise analysis model, which contemplates the built surface, the height of the building, and typological, constructive, geographic and socioeconomic factors.
The user license permits that are required to work with “Open BIM Cost Estimator” depend on the value of the execution budget that has been calculated by the program:
- Up to 1,000,000 €
The program is free. - Up to 5,000,000 €
The user license must include the CYPE Cost EstimatorPro permit. - Over 5,000,000 €
The user license must include the CYPE Cost EstimatorExpert permit.
CYPE Cost Estimatorcan be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.
CYPE Cost Estimatoris included in the Open BIM workflow. The program reads the geometry of the building from the project BIM model to show its 3D view and exports the execution budget of the project to the BIM model (in pdf format) and the documents that are required to be used by “CYPE Memorias CTE”.
More information on this new CYPE tool will be available shortly.
