BIM 5D construction cost management with BIM

Model and element-based construction cost management: These video tutorials show you how the advanced BIM workflow works with NOVA AVA.
Tutorial 1

Import IFC data & 3D viewer

This is your introduction to construction cost management with BIM. In this tutorial, you will see how easy it is to import an IFC file and what options the 3D viewer offers.

Tutorial 2

Create filter for 3D analysis

Filters are very practical for quickly analyzing a building model. This tutorial shows you how to create a filter and then use it in all projects.

Tutorial 3

Components & cost elements for fast cost planning

In this tutorial, you will learn about the relationships between components and cost elements. This allows you to evaluate complete building models at the touch of a button and determine cost variants.

Tutorial 4

Create your own cost elements for cost planning with BIM

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create your own cost elements from free rows and BOQ items. The definition of quantity estimates will then help you later with the automatic sampling of the building model.

Tutorial 5

Cost planning with DBD-BIM and STLB-Bau Online

In this tutorial, Matthias shows us how components can be sampled with cost elements from the dynamic library of DBD-BIM and STLB-Bau Online. By intelligently processing the "quantity formulas", you can obtain reliable cost information for your BIM projects in no time at all.

Tutorial 6

Derive cost estimates according to DIN276 and LBs from the 3D model

Here you can find out how cost estimates can be created automatically from a sampled 3D model according to the DIN276 cost structure or according to service areas (LB).

Tutorial 7

Generate bills of quantities from the 3D model

This tutorial shows you how easy it is to create bills of quantities with detailed quantity takeoffs from a sampled 3D model - at the touch of a button. You will also learn about the relationships between bill of quantities items, quantity estimates and components.

Tutorial 8

BOQ Link with 3D model for quantity takeoff

In this tutorial, Matthias shows us how a Bill of Quantities can be linked to a building model. This makes it very easy to determine the item quantities from the appropriate component dimensions using calculation approaches.

Tutorial 9

What is a BIM-LV container?

With a BIM-LV container, it is possible to intelligently link the 3D model with the construction costs. In the tutorial, you will learn how the import works and what you can do with the result.

Tutorial 10

NOVA AVA BIM 5D - the BOQ 3D Connector

This tutorial shows you the unbeatably fast quantity takeoff with NOVA AVA: Simply import an IFC file into the project, use the master LV items for the LV creation and press the button. The 3D filters stored in the master LV items now scan the model and generate the item quantities for the cost calculation and the tender fully automatically.

Tutorial 11

NOVA AVA BIM + Allplan

In this recorded webinar, we show how 3D models can be transferred from Allplan to NOVA AVA via the IFC interface and how cost estimates and cost calculations can be generated there.

Tutorial 12

NOVA AVA BIM + ARCHICAD 25

OPEN BIM works! In this recorded webinar, we show how to use models from Archicad in NOVA AVA.

Tutorial 13

NOVA AVA BIM + VECTORWORKS

In this recorded webinar, Jessica Graf (Computerworks) and Tom Schäfer (NOVA Building IT) show how the advantages of 3D models can be used for cost calculations and the automated creation of bills of quantities for the AVA process. Starting from the CAD planning in Vectorworks, a 3D model is output as an IFC file and imported into NOVA AVA. As both systems are IFC-certified, it is now possible to map end-to-end cost control from the budget to the final invoice for projects.
