5D (Cost) (VICO Cost Planner)

Our Vico software experts help Contractors in establishing BIM Estimating workflows for accurate quantity take-offs and project estimates.

Vico Office is the first purpose-built construction software that allows users to “plug in” the BIM authoring application of their choice and then perform a constructability analysis, quantity takeoff, a model-based schedule, model-based estimate, and on-site production control, all in an integrated workflow.

This integrated workflow is unique in the commercial construction market. With Vico Office, you have a live model - a model where the 3D geometry is integrated with the quantities which is integrated with the 4D schedule which is integrated with the 5D estimate. This means that when one element of the 3D model changes (let's say the building gets a new floor or a new material is chosen for the lobby floor), both the schedule and estimate automatically change.
