Cost Estimation tutorial using Navisworks Manage 2023 | Timeliner tool | in 8mn

Join us in this tutorial where we explore the practical steps of utilizing Navisworks Manage 2023's Timeliner tool for accurate cost estimation and creating informative 5D simulations for construction projects.

In this tutorial, we cover the following topics:

Exporting from Revit to Navisworks: We start with a clear guide on exporting your Revit model to Navisworks NWC format, ensuring a smooth transition of your project data.

Understanding Timeliner Tool: Learn how to navigate the Timeliner tool within Navisworks Manage 2023. We explain the process of task creation, defining start and end dates, and categorizing tasks by type.

Efficient Selection Techniques: Discover how to effectively select project elements using the selection tree or by creating sets, allowing you to precisely manage what's included in your cost calculations and simulations.

Cost Allocation: Understand the process of assigning costs to different elements of your project, such as equipment, contractors, materials, and labor, enabling accurate cost estimation.

Total Cost Calculation: Learn how to calculate the comprehensive costs for your project by aggregating the individual costs assigned to each task.

Creating Personalized 5D Simulations: Dive into the world of 5D simulations. Find out how to transform your project timeline into an insightful simulation, tailored to showcase the specific data you need.

Exporting Simulations: Conclude by learning how to export your 5D simulations, making it easy to communicate your project insights and plans to collaborators.
