GO DIGITAL :  In support of Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) and aligned to Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Industry Transformation Map (ITM), Glodon Singapore has been always strive hard to provide suitable, practical and advanced digital solutions to help AEC firms accelerate their efforts towards the digital transformation.

Advance Your Quantification and Cost Estimation Process with Cubicost 5D BIM Cost Management Solution.

Traditionally, quantity take-off and cost estimations have been performed and developed with 2D drawings or with the current introductory trend for IFC or .Rvt files shared among stakeholders in the initial stages of BIM Designed Projects, Quantity Surveyors and Cost Professionals will be required to perform quantification in line with the standard measurement rules of Singapore (SMM2).

In the process of QTO work in Cubicost, the translation of 2D information to Cubicost 3D Cost model is done in through the intelligence and automatic foundation that is inbuilt in Cubicost Platform. Allowing Quantity Surveyors and Cost Professionals to evaluate, perform calculations and visualize their identified elements in a 3D elevated Cost Model. If you are working on a BIM design model, information in its parameters indicated in a Revit model would allow the direct transfusion into Cubicost Platform that encompasses the embedded measurement rules from a QS perspective that assist the QS to seamlessly calculate the quantity in a precise and accurate desired outcome. To achieve better collaboration and work efficiency among different teams under the same project, information and data will be shared among downstream and upstream in an interconnected environment, throughout the project life cycle.

This year, we introduce a series of improvements and new features designed to make working with Cubicost 5D BIM Cost Management Solution faster, easier and more intelligent.

The new version of Cubicost is the enhanced support for advanced quantity take-off experience, we’ll see our Quantity Surveyors and Cost Professionals spending their time more productively and wisely.

Cubicost TAS C-II (BIM-based Quantity Take-off for Architecture & Structure) new feature highlights:

Ramp
  • Adds new Ramp element, allowing ramps to be drawn by drawing projection area and centerline, and inputting elevation/gradient.
  • Adds “Align with Ramp” that would automatically align walls, beams and other elements with the ramp top.
  • Enables rapidly and accurately generate ramp models.

 

Generate by CAD line

  • Adds the “Generate by CAD line” on the DRAW tab.
  • Enables selecting CAD sidelines to rapidly generate entities, such as Wall, Beam, Slab, Raft, Foundation, Ramp, Custom Quantity.

 

Join

  • On the DRAW tab, adds “Join”, which helps to cut entities by an entity or a line.
  • When drawing wall or beam entities continuously, the models will be automatically joined.

 

Staircase

  • Adds new Custom Staircase element, allowing custom staircases to be drawn by line-draw consecutive flights with the staircase landing slabs generated automatically.
  • In Attribute Editor, adds Layout Settings to define railings and landing beams.
  • All quantities of staircases can be extracted in View quantity by category.

 

Adds “Template” in View Quantity by Category

In View Quantity by Category, adds “Template” for creating multiple templates, which can be imported/exported for the reuse of classification conditions among different people and projects.

 

Advance your quantification and cost estimation process with Cubicost 5D BIM Cost Management Solution, we are committed to support our industry partners by providing them with constant software upgrading, a wide range of certified trainings and tailored project guidance by our experienced expert engineers and service consults.
