5D BIM — 5D Building Information Modeling

The integration of three-dimensional models with scheduling and cost information to support project planning and cost management.

Definition

5D Building Information Modeling (5D BIM) extends 4D BIM by integrating cost and quantity information with three-dimensional models and project schedules. This enables dynamic cost estimation, budget forecasting, quantity takeoffs and financial impact assessments throughout the project lifecycle.

Why It Matters

5D BIM integrates engineering models, schedules and cost information to improve project planning and financial management.

In Practice

5D BIM supports cost control, procurement planning, change management and project forecasting by linking engineering information directly to financial data and construction activities.

Common Misuse

5D BIM extends 4D BIM by incorporating project cost and quantity information in addition to schedule data.
