How might a building information model be used in estimating?

Checking the estimate. The quantities from the model may be used to check the estimate prepared from the construction drawings, allowing the estimator to check his$/$her quantities and look for missing items.

Preparing estimates from shop drawings. By their very nature, shop drawings are a highly accurate representation of components needed for construction.

Conceptual$/$preliminary estimates. The model may be used to prepare conceptual or preliminary estimates because by their very nature conceptual and preliminary estimates are based on conceptual design with very little detail, making it easy to completely model the conceptual design.

Preparing estimates. The model may be use all or in part to prepare the estimate. The model may provide complete information for some building components $($such as doors and windows$),$ partial information for other components $($such as walls$),$ and little to no information for other components $($such as carpet$).$
