If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our **support team** ##### [1. QUESTION What is BIM Estimating?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse1-dnd_area-module-6) BIM Estimating uses a Building Information Model to extract quantities and generate cost estimates, often referred to as 5D BIM. ##### [2. QUESTION What about Regular Estimating?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse2-dnd_area-module-6)  Of course! Our team provides outstanding services for traditional estimating, from marking takeoffs on PDFs to performing the necessary calculations to obtain the proper quantities in Excel files, and finally setting up a comprehensive bid.  ##### [3. QUESTION How is BIM Estimating different from traditional estimating?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse3-dnd_area-module-6) Traditional estimating relies on manual takeoffs from 2D drawings. BIM Estimation automates quantity extraction and links model elements directly to cost data, improving accuracy and efficiency. ##### [4. QUESTION Which one is more reliable?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse4-dnd_area-module-6) Both can be reliable if done correctly, but BIM estimating usually detects inconsistencies earlier because it is based on a coordinated model between architecture, structure, and MEP.  ##### [5. QUESTION What happens if my project is not in BIM?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse5-dnd_area-module-6) No problem. We can work in the traditional way using your 2D drawings. If the project allows, we also offer the option of modeling the necessary elements in BIM to achieve greater accuracy.  ##### [6. QUESTION Do I need to have a BIM model to use this service?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse6-dnd_area-module-6) No. You simply provide us with the information you have (PDF drawings, CAD files, or a BIM model). We adapt the methodology accordingly. However, please note that creating the model has an additional cost if you require it at the end of the estimate for project management purposes.  ##### [7. QUESTION Is BIM estimating more expensive than traditional estimating?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse7-dnd_area-module-6) The cost can be slightly higher at the beginning because it requires working with a model, but this is offset by the savings from detecting errors and avoiding costly changes during construction.  ##### [8. QUESTION Can I combine both methodologies?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse8-dnd_area-module-6) Yes. In many cases, we use a hybrid approach: BIM for the main items and traditional methods for details that are not modeled. This way, we ensure a balance between accuracy and efficiency.  ##### [9. QUESTION How fast do you deliver an estimate?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse9-dnd_area-module-6) - **Traditional:** depends on the size of the drawings and the trades to address. But usually it takes 3- 5 business days  - **BIM:** Once the model is ready, quantities and costs are generated faster. It also depends on the size and trades, and might take 3-5 business days, but the accuracy is higher. - **Hybrid:** this one uses partial modeling when required and completes the process with the traditional Estimating, and making takeoff process faster. Of course, it also depends on size and trades, and might take 3-5 business days while still keeping a great part of the accuracy that represents BIM takeoffs.   ##### [10. QUESTION Is BIM only for large projects?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse10-dnd_area-module-6) **Not at all.** BIM-based estimating is just as valuable for small and medium-sized projects. By helping you control costs, avoid errors, and optimize your resources, BIM ensures you get the most out of your investment—no matter the project size.   ##### [11. QUESTION Where do the prices come from?](https://www.bimcores.com/bim-estimating#collapse11-dnd_area-module-6)  the prices come from a vast variety of sources depending on the state or country, if the client has a specific request for the providers or subcontractors we’ll communicate with them to get the most current prices, if that’s not the case we’ll contact standard providers on the estate or feed the bid with our internal price list powered by A.I.  Want to know more ## About **Us?** Info Mail:    [Admin@bimcs.co](mailto:Admin@bimcs.co) Estimating Department:      [juan.perez@bimcs.co](mailto:juan.perez@bimcs.co) Management Department:    [martin.moreno@bimcs.co](mailto:martin.moreno@bimcs.co) Wpp: +57 302-478-3882 Phone: +1 281-763-0499 Antioquia, Medellin, Poblado, Col ### [Contact Us](https://www.bimcores.com/contact?hsLang=en-us) Our customer service representative helps you to understand what we offer for your business goals.
