Course Overview

The BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course by Autodesk is designed for professionals aiming to integrate Building Information Modeling into cost management workflows, specifically preparing learners for roles as Quantity Surveyors, Cost Engineers, and Estimation & Billing Engineers. This comprehensive program focuses on leveraging BIM for accurate quantity take-off, bill of quantities (BOQ) preparation, cost estimation, and project cost control. With over 70% of major construction firms now adopting BIM for cost planning, this course meets growing industry demand for QS professionals who can work effectively within digital project environments. It is ideal for civil engineers transitioning into BIM-focused cost roles and BIM Coordinators supporting financial aspects of construction projects.

Participants gain hands-on experience with key Autodesk tools including Revit for model-based quantity extraction, Navisworks for coordination model review, and Forma Preconstruction (formerly Takeoff and Estimate) for cloud-based cost analysis and measurement. The labs are conducted in a real-world simulation environment using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), where students configure cost schedules, map model elements to BOQ items, and perform quantity validation across design iterations. A capstone project involves developing a complete 5D BIM workflow for a multi-story building, including extracting concrete, reinforcement, and finish quantities from a federated Revit model, applying pricing data, and generating a detailed cost report aligned with standard measurement practices.

This course prepares candidates for the Autodesk Certified Professional: BIM Manager in Building Design certification, a credential recognized across AEC industries for validating advanced BIM competency. Professionals with 5D BIM skills command up to 30% higher salaries compared to traditional quantity surveyors, with mid-level BIM-enabled QS roles averaging $85,000–$110,000 annually in North America and Europe. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Autodesk courseware, and access to expert-led training that ensures mastery of both technical and collaborative aspects of 5D BIM. Graduates emerge ready to lead cost estimation processes in modern construction projects, driving accuracy, transparency, and efficiency through integrated digital workflows.

Is the certification exam included in the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course by Autodesk, and what is the cost?
The certification exam is not included in the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) training course and must be purchased separately for $200 USD. Autodesk Certified Professional exams are priced at this standard global retail rate, plus applicable regional taxes. Candidates must schedule and pay for their exam directly through the official Autodesk certification portal or Pearson VUE.
What training formats are available for the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course, and does Koenig offer Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling?
Koenig provides live online 1-on-1 instructor-led training for the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course. We offer Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring your session proceeds as planned regardless of enrollment numbers. While classroom options are available upon request, we do not currently offer self-paced formats for this specialized Autodesk professional program.
How long is lab access provided for the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course, and what environment is used?
Lab access for the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course is provided for 30 days. You will use a cloud-based sandbox environment hosted on Koenig’s secure platform. This allows you to practice using Autodesk Revit and essential BIM tools in a real-time, fully configured virtual setup designed for professional skill mastery.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling of the BIM-Enabled Quantity Surveying (5D BIM) course up to 7 days before the start date. Cancellations made within 7 days incur a 15% fee. Earlier cancellations receive a full refund, excluding third-party exam voucher costs, which follow Autodesk’s non-refundable policy.
What is the format, number of questions, passing score, and time limit for the Autodesk 5D BIM certification exam?
