Mitchell Brandtman’s Contributions
Collaboration is the key to the success of this iconic Brisbane project. Revit models from both the Architect and the Structural Engineer were supplied to Mitchell Brandtman, which allowed our team to conceptualise and gain a more comprehensive and visual understanding of the project. By combining these models using our CostX expertise, our team was able to present more accurate quantities and deliver innovative cost solutions for the project. Instant quantity takeoff combined with live links to rates eliminated the need for manual takeoff of quantities. This has allowed our team to focus on value management throughout the design process. The revisioning tool CostX offers provided an instant snapshot of the changes to the scope of the project through each stage of revision.
With IT integration and value management, Mitchell Brandtman is utilising cutting-edge practices and software to provide our clients with relevant advice and cost certainty, without compromising the design intent.
Making the Difference
CostX assisted our measurement takeoff with automatic 3D quantity generation. This was a great tool to use and streamlined our cost planning process. The revisioning function also assisted with design development, as it allowed us to provide advice to the client at integral points throughout the design phase.
