Vico presents Connecting the Conceptual Estimate to the MPS
As we learned at the last AGC BIMForum, Owners want more transparency into the building process. They need to know how the design matches up to the budget and how proposed changes will effect both the budget and the schedule. To help GCs better communicate with Owners, we’ve put together this special Fridays with Vico webinar.
Who: Connecting the Conceptual Estimate to the MPS
What: A free online webinar

We know the situation all too well. There are three weeks from the time you receive the 2D drawings to the time the bid is due. A conceptual estimate would be a great advantage, but a model-based conceptual estimate with 4D would prove more powerful. It would help the Owner better understand the project and ask what-if questions. And your answers to those what-if questions would really highlight your firm's expertise.
First things first, let's develop a massing model and get the ball rolling.
In this episode of Fridays with Vico, we'll explore the estimate as a dynamic and ever-evolving part of pursuit, preconstruction, and construction. We'll examine the evolution of the estimate in terms of the model progression specification which illustrates the refinement of the estimate according to the latest drawing set or latest model.
We'll demonstrate this process with the latest release of Vico Office as we highlight Takeoff Manager, Cost Planner, and Cost Explorer. With Takeoff Manager, we derive construction-caliber quantities based on the 3D model geometry. With Cost Planner, we dive into the "bill of materials" for the project and apply in-house costing knowledge to roll up the estimate. And with Cost Explorer we illustrate the delta between our original assumptions and the real-word actuals. The result is a "whole model" or 5D BIM which encourages a lively dialogue between the GC, Subcontractors, and Owner, promoting trust and partnership.
And as with all our Fridays with Vico sessions, we'll include case studies, ROI, and plenty of time for Q&A.
