Publication metadata
The document reflects the analysis performed during the project and the results obtained. It is conceived as an informative, easy-to-read guide meant to prepare the public stakeholders to apply the model developed for evaluating the costs and benefits of using BIM in public tenders. The cost-benefit analysis tool was designed starting from a preliminary analysis of several literature researches, that was essential to define costs and benefits of using BIM in public tenders. The indicators identified in this preliminary phase were then refined and validated with the support of targeted stakeholders through structured interviews and an online survey. The cost-benefit analysis (CBA) tool was then designed assuming that each project follows a three-phase process (planning and design, construction and operation and maintenance), using ad hoc formulas for the computation of each cost and benefit indicator identified in the first steps. The CBA tool was developed to be easily used by people with varying degrees of knowledge and experience of BIM and it was validated analysing real tenders across Europe that represent various types of projects. The real case studies helped producing a specific database in order to estimate the cost charged to the public clients necessary for 3D modelling an asset (starting from the estimated time needed for the modelling activities). The handbook describes six examples that reflect typical tenders launched by public entities (small-scale infrastructures and buildings with differing budgets and covering diverse phases of the life cycle) with the aim to provide a guide on the use of the tool and on its replication in real frameworks.
