AIAOC Lunch Program - D Profiler: Healthcare Conceptual Modeling and Budgeting

D-Profiler is a conceptual modeling software that provides a high-level graphical representation of a project while also generating a detailed cost estimate. The model can be based on something as simple as a napkin sketch, which can be scanned and loaded into the software as a reference to create a basic 3D mass of the building. Slab areas and exterior cladding can be measured based on the model, while the interiors are added using historical metrics pulled from Cummings extensive benchmark library of projects. Any changes that are made to the model are reflected in the cost estimate in real time.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

We will describe the many influences and factors that drive costs. We will also present real-time case studies using D-Profiler to demonstrate how the shape of the building affects the overall cost of a project.

We will demonstrate how early involvement will ensure better decision making. D-Profiler provides an increased level of detail in the conceptual estimate stage.

We will demonstrate how a lean/team approach, combined with D-Profiler, can help avoid costly value analysis/engineering and smooth out the wrinkles in the design process. D-Profiler works well with a lean approach that utilizes target value design and, if required, real-time value analysis. This combination of frameworks helps the design phase proceed faster and with fewer complications.

We will define and explain the impact of benchmarking the engine behind D- Profiler and demonstrate how it can assist in the approval process
