It serves to plan costs, request offers from companies, control works, and calculate the professional fee of the technician.<\/p>\n<h3>When is it necessary to prepare a metric calculation?<\/h3>\n<p>The metric calculation is mandatory in public works as part of the executive project, but it is also frequently used in private works to regulate contractual relationships between the client and the company.<\/p>\n<h3>Who must prepare the metric calculation?<\/h3>\n<p>The metric calculation is prepared by the designer, who develops a forecast of the costs of the work based on the project and the prices of the works.<\/p>\n<h3>How is an estimative metric calculation prepared?<\/h3>\n<p>The necessary works are identified, quantities are measured, and multiplied by the respective unit prices, using an updated price list. Everything is organized in a table with description, unit of measure, quantity, unit price, and partial amount.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between manual calculation and automatic calculation from a 3D model?<\/h3>\n<p>The manual calculation requires measurement from 2D technical drawings, while the automatic calculation from a 3D model (BIM) allows for automatic extraction of quantities from the digital model, making the process faster, more accurate, and dynamic.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you choose the price list to use?<\/h3>\n<p>It is advisable to use updated price lists, relevant to the territory and suitable for the type of project (renovation, restoration, systems, etc.), such as regional price lists or those specialized issued by technical bodies.<\/p>\n<h3>What elements make up a metric calculation?<\/h3>\n<p>A metric calculation includes: description of works, measurements, unit prices, partial amounts for each item, and the total amount of the work.<\/p>\n<h3>Why divide works into categories and subcategories?<\/h3>\n<p>The division improves the readability of the calculation, allows for more organized management, facilitates cost analysis, comparison between projects, and management of variations and work progress statuses (SAL).<\/p>\n<h3>What are the advantages of the metric calculation from a BIM model?<\/h3>\n<p>BIM allows for precise calculations that are automatically updated with the project, reduces errors, improves traceability of quantities, allows for real-time management of variations, and promotes savings in time and costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it possible to do a metric calculation online?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, there are software and online platforms, such as PriMus online, that allow you to create and manage metric calculations from any device and in collaboration with other professionals, without installing software.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"international-product-banner-desktop\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"product-banner-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/online-cost-estimates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto\/primus-online-en.jpg\" alt=\"primus-online\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto\/primus-online-en.jpg\" alt=\"primus-online\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"international-product-banner-mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"product-banner-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/online-cost-estimates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto_mobile\/primus-online-en.jpg\" alt=\"primus-online\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto_mobile\/primus-online-en.jpg\" alt=\"primus-online\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A practical example of home remodelling cost estimate: steps to follow, categories and items to use<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":44515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_data_scadenza_evento":"","_evento_nome":"","_evento_data":"","_evento_luogo":"","_evento_cta":"","keyword_en":"","keyword_es":"","keyword_fr":"","keyword_de":"","keyword_ptb":"","_note_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42,46],"tags":[193,5226],"class_list":["post-8696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bim-construction","category-bim-project-example","tag-newsletter-109","tag-newsletter-403"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) -
