29. © 2008 NIBS Foundation Example Many cost items are not depicted in the drawings or even in the model.

30. © 2008 NIBS Concept Has Been Around Since 1981 Quantitative information uses stored formula to determine quantities. This is then tied to tables using qualitative information entered to determine pricing. SH&G

32. © 2008 NIBS Proposed Cost Related Metadata Level 10 – “Rule of thumb” Level 9 – Historically based on similar facilities Level 8 – Based on Uniformat level 2 Model Level 7 – Based on Uniformat level 3+ Model Level 6 – Schematic Design – MasterFormat based Level 5 – Detailed design estimate – book priced Level 4 – Detailed design estimate - validated Level 3 – Price based on QTO from model Level 2 – Price based on quotes from suppliers Level 1 – Exact cost based on installed price
