Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the possibilities of a construction company’s cost data classification. The case company’s cost data became inaccurate when proceeding from cost estimation to execution and the objective was to gather comparable data from projects. The cost data was examined with 5D BIM application iTWO, which was studied in this research.
The research consists of a literature review and a case study. The implementation of 5D BIM application was studied and essential cost management decisions were documented during the research. The case study demonstrated the usage of 5D BIM application. This was limited by using an example of light partition walls and the puttying and painting of them in an ongoing project.
It could be conducted that the used 5D BIM application enables controlling of cost data by low hierarchy level from the beginning of the project to the end. The most important part of cost data management is the controlling structure, which is used for reports and comparing projects. The usage of the application was good and it was considered as a reliable source of information. Collaboration between project participants is needed to use 5D BIM application in the most efficient way. The same data is used throughout the project, so sequential phases should be taken into consideration when creating new information or structuring it. Most of the essential information of the project can be found in the building information model, which means that the designers must have clear instructions about the use of information fields or additional application should be used for standardization.
