BEXEL Manager offers a comprehensive suite of tools tailored to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of Cost Estimators in BIM-based construction projects. Its 5D BIM cost management module integrates time, cost, and spatial data, providing a robust platform for cost estimation and project control. Its automation, advanced analysis and reporting capabilities, make it an invaluable asset in BIM-based construction projects.
BEXEL BI and Power BI dashboards provide Cost Estimators with real-time access to detailed cost data through interactive visuals. They make it easier to monitor budget performance, track cost trends, and identify deviations early. Custom dashboards help focus on key metrics like cost breakdowns, resource usage, and productivity. These tools also streamline reporting and enhance collaboration by presenting complex data in a clear, actionable format.
Using a standardized, customizable and automated WBS and cost database in BEXEL Manager improves cost estimation accuracy, speeds up workflows, and ensures consistency across projects. It enables better cost control through clear breakdowns and integrates with 5D BIM for dynamic planning. It is possible to import already existing cost classification as per standard or company, region, and country-specific cost data format, as well as to create new custom one through intelligent cost management workflow.
BEXEL Manager enables cost estimation by rooms/spaces using the area (sqm or sqft) directly from the BIM model. It automatically recognizes and categorizes spaces, assigning unit rates based on room type or function. Custom formulas and measurement rules can be applied to calculate costs accurately. It provides a clear and transparent breakdown of costs by room or space type, making budgets easier to understand and validate. Any design changes are immediately reflected in the cost, helping clients make informed decisions faster.
BEXEL Manager enables the creation of a centralized resource database covering materials, labor, and equipment, with unit costs, classifications, and codes assigned to each. This database is reusable across various cost items and projects, supporting customized breakdowns and linking directly to BIM elements for real-time analysis and visualization. Built and managed through Excel spreadsheets, the database can be easily imported to or exported from BEXEL Manager, allowing for quick updates and smooth collaboration.
BEXEL Manager helps create detailed tendering packages by grouping BIM elements and cost data into clear work scopes, including quantities, resources, and estimated costs pulled directly from the 5D model. It supports efficient bid evaluation by comparing contractor offers against model-based estimates, enabling transparent, data-driven selection.
4D/5D simulations in BEXEL Manager link time and cost, allowing cost estimators to visualize how expenses align with the construction schedule. This supports accurate cash flow forecasting, early detection of budget risks, and better resource planning. The visual simulations also improve communication with stakeholders and enable real-time cost tracking through earned value analysis.
Through cash flow analysis, BEXEL Manager helps visualize time-related project costs, based on the construction schedule. By enabling more accurate budgeting, it ensures funds are available when needed, and supports better financial planning. Clients and project teams can track planned vs. actual expenditures, reducing the risk of cash shortages or overspending.
Earned Value Analysis (EVA) in BEXEL Manager provides a clear picture of project performance by comparing planned, actual, and earned costs. It helps identify cost and schedule deviations early, enabling timely corrective actions. This supports better decision-making, improves cost control, and increases confidence in project progress tracking.
Automated payment certificate generation using the 4D/5D schedule and integrated BIM quantities is enabled in BEXEL Manager platform. Certificate templates are easily customizable to match company-specific formats and requirements, allowing flexibility in presentation and reporting. Additionally, BEXEL provides powerful BI reports for payment certificates, offering clear, data-driven insights into project progress and financial performance.
BEXEL Portfolio BI Analytics offers a comprehensive view across multiple projects, allowing cost estimators to compare costs, quantities, and performance metrics side by side. Standardized reports enable benchmarking of resource usage and budget efficiency at both the project and organizational level. This supports stronger cost control, more accurate forecasting, and smarter strategic planning for current and future projects.
By automating data analysis and providing smart insights into project performance BEXEL AI Analytics helps detect anomalies in quantities, costs, and schedules, enabling early identification of risks and deviations. AI-driven predictions support more accurate forecasting of resource needs, cash flow, and project trends. This enhances decision-making, reduces manual effort, and improves overall efficiency and cost control.
