What Skills does a 5D QS need?

Pulling Information

Improve Information – No need for QSID or Codes

Add Parameters

Mapping - Qtys & Descriptions

Mapping – BQ Level of Detail

Model Validating & Work-a-rounds

Pushing Information & Round Tripping

Revisioning – Price Negotiations & Transparency

Final Words

5D creates better buildings by:

• Enabling early cost decisions

• Rehearsing estimates

• Targeting money in a transparent way

5D QS creates cost certainty by applying:

• Wisdom – know how

• Intelligence – templates, maps & data

• Technology – weekly revisioning
