Abstract
Construction projects are known for frequent cost overruns, due to different issues including the limitations
of conventional cost management approaches. Building Information Modeling (BIM)supported cost
management (5D BIM) consists in associating the cost variable with a BIM model in order to optimize the
management of construction costs. Although several studies have been conducted in different countries to
identify the benefits of, and barriers to, the implementation of 5D BIM, data on its implementation and
associated practices in Quebec are missing. The objective of this study is therefore to present the general
picture of the implementation of 5D BIM in the Quebec’s construction industry. In order to achieve this
objective, an in-depth literature review was conducted, and a questionnaire was developed and distributed
to a sample of cost management specialists in the AEC industry in Quebec. The results suggest that that
while 5D BIM is recognized to foster the production of better estimates, the automation of estimation is still
far from being a reality. Excel is still the main tool for allocating costs to quantities extracted from BIM
models and for estimates preparation. Thus, 5D BIM is mainly used for cost estimating, budgeting and cost
control but much less for claims management.
