Question:

I have a small architectural firm. How much should I budget for BIM to train two people and purchase hardware and software?
Mike Nicklowitz, Adrian Design Group, PLC

Answer:

Mark Mergenschroer, BIM Development Coordinator, TME, Inc.: I would budget about $2000 per CPU and dual monitors, $6500.00 per seat for software, and I would get with your local reseller for training cost. Also, plan that your first couple of jobs will exceed your design fees.
