Buildify BIM Budgeting

From the BIM model straight to a priced budget.

BIM Budgeting pulls quantities straight from the model geometry, prices them against your rate book and shows the cost impact of every model change.

For estimators, cost managers, pre-construction teams and leadership. No manual measuring, no retyping into spreadsheets.

between model, take-off and budget

The model already holds the quantities. You still build the budget by hand.

BIM Budgeting shortens the path between the model, the take-off and the price.

Quantities get measured by hand off PDFs, even though the model geometry is exact.

Model, take-off and budget drift into several inconsistent versions of the truth.

A model change means recalculating the budget from scratch — and nobody knows how far the price moved.

Leadership gets a number, but no answer on what it is made of and what pushed it up.

What BIM Budgeting works out for you

From quantities and pricing through variants to the cost impact of every model change.

Task

How much 250 mm reinforced concrete is in block B and what does it cost in the rate book?

What the system computes

The system filters the entities, computes the volume straight from the geometry and prices the item against the selected rate book or your own price list.

Take-offPricingRate book
Task

How much did the budget move between model version 12 and 13?

What the system computes

It compares both versions, shows the difference in quantity and cost, and breaks it down to individual items — so you know not just how much, but why.

Version compareCost impactChange control
Task

Which items lack enough model data to be priced at all?

What the system computes

It flags entities with missing or inconsistent parameters before they turn into a hole in the budget.

Data qualityModel checkRisk
Task

What does the budget look like if the build-up or material changes?

What the system computes

It computes a variant over the same model and puts it next to the original price, so the decision is made on numbers rather than on instinct.

VariantsCost planningDecision

A budget that keeps up with the model

For bids, pre-construction, controlling and company leadership.

Quantity take-off

Quantities are computed from IFC geometry and entity parameters, not from measuring drawings by hand.

Pricing

Items are priced against a rate book or your own price list. Re-price the whole budget in one click.

Bids and tenders

Fast bid pricing even when there are only days left before submission.

Change control

Every new model version shows how far the price moved and which item is responsible.

Variants and cost planning

Compare build-ups, materials and technical options over one and the same model.

Controlling and reporting

Leadership sees the cost, its structure and its risks. Not another raw Excel export.

Core capabilities

Everything it takes to turn a model into a budget you trust.

Quantities from model geometry

Volumes, areas, lengths and counts derived straight from IFC, each linked back to the specific entity in the model.

Rate book integration

Price against a standard rate book or your own company price list. Re-price at any time, the whole budget at once.

Model → item mapping

Rules that define how an entity becomes a budget item. Set up once, reused across the next projects.

Model version comparison

The difference in quantity and cost between two versions, broken down to individual items.

Variants and scenarios

Several priced variants over the same model, side by side and ready for a decision.

Data checks before pricing

Missing parameters and inconsistencies surface before they reach the bid price.

Where it makes the most sense

For teams that need a price out of the model — not another viewer.

Investors and management

BIM Budgeting shortens the path from model to price.

Instead of manual measuring, exports and retyping between the BIM team, the estimate and leadership, you get one layer that returns quantities, pricing and the impact of every change.

What teams that budget from the model say

We stopped arguing about who pulls the quantities out of the model. A new version lands, the system recalculates, and we immediately see what it did to the price."

Head of BIM and digitalization, SUDOP Praha, a.s.

This is not a pretty viewer. This is a tool that turns the model into a priced budget, compares variants and keeps the scope under control."

Ing. Klára Benešová

Cost manager, EUROVIA CS, a.s.

The biggest win is that the budget and the model stopped being two separate worlds. One change, one recalculation, one number."
