Schedules and cost

Built on it

• 5D cost — Costs on the 4D schedule.
• Construction engineering and management — Schedule, cost and carbon engines with trade packs for BimCraft, TakeoffCraft and MarkupCraft, and four calculation sheets: crew duration and labour cost, concrete pour, earned value and bid build-up.

Use it in your add-on

Name it in your manifest's needs. When someone adds your add-on, their account brings this engine too, and every edition loads it the first time your add-on needs it. Version ranges arrive with AL.13.

{
  "id": "com.example.my-addon",
  "apps": ["bimcraft", "takeoffcraft"],
  "needs": ["engine.schedule"]
}

Methods and standards

Critical path method, resource levelling, earned value and Monte Carlo sampling, as the tests exercise them.

Limits

Lab. A planning aid: a schedule is only as good as the durations and logic entered. Not compared with a commercial tool.
