Welcome back to another episode of BIM Shorts! I’m Puneet Thakre, your guide in the world of Building Information Modelling. Today, we dive into the 5th dimension of BIM: 5D BIM.

• In simple terms, 5D BIM adds cost-related information to our 3D models. This means you can visualize not only how your building looks and when it will be built but also how much it will cost. Real-time cost visualization helps manage budgets and avoid unexpected expenses, making financial planning much more accurate and efficient.
• 5D BIM offers precise, dynamic cost updates, aiding in budget management and value engineering. Whether it's a new construction or a renovation, 5D BIM provides detailed cost estimates for various design options, helping make informed financial decisions.
• In summary, 5D BIM integrates cost data into the BIM model, enhancing financial management, providing real-time cost insights, and ensuring projects stay within budget. It's like having a crystal-clear financial roadmap for your projects.
