Since the preliminary unit cost is a type parameter, the value entered will be applied to all elements of that type. Enter these values quickly by selecting the appropriate cells in the schedules, and entering the values there.Look up preliminary cost data ($ per square foot) for each of the wall, floor, and roof types in the building model.Add another new parameter – a calculated value multiplying the preliminary unit cost by the area of each element – to compute a preliminary cost estimate for each element.Add this preliminary unit cost parameter to each of the schedules.Add a shared parameter for recording a preliminary unit cost (per square foot) and associate this shared parameter with the wall, floor, and roof elements as a type parameter.Add new parameters to these schedules to convert the model quantities into preliminary cost estimates.

Set up design options to enable you to test and display conceptual estimates for three different length/width/height configurations.

Reload the mass family into your project and flex the new parameters to see the impact on the conceptual cost estimate.

Edit the conceptual mass family and add parameters to quickly change the length, width, and height of the mass.

Add parametric control to the conceptual mass to enable you to quickly test different configurations and see the impact on the conceptual estimate.

Add a calculated value to the schedule to compute a conceptual cost for each mass floor based on the function specified.

Update the schedule to use different costs per square foot based on the function assigned to each mass floor.

Add a shared parameter to assign a function to each of the mass floors.

Duplicate the previous estimate and adjust the copy to allow you to refine the estimate on a floor-by-floor basis:.

Add a calculated value parameter to compute a cost estimate for each floor and the total conceptual cost for the entire building based on the areas enclosed.

Create a schedule of the mass floors and calculate the total area available.Divide the conceptual mass into mass floors with a 12-foot floor-to-floor height.Create a conceptual cost estimate for the conceptual mass model contained in the dataset.
