Fluid Costing
Sudbury, Ontario
Whether a design is schematically or fully determined, it can remain unclear how costing is affected geometrically. For example, will increasing or decreasing the floor height impact the overall cost to an actionable level. Some components fluctuate in price at a fluid rate, while others step incrementally in small or large blocks. This type of cost analysis provides accurate material take-offs for comparable design outcomes by animating the outcomes and creates opportunity to optimize cost savings that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
