How it works

One model, analysed once, then read through the kinds of intelligence your project needs.

  1. Step 1

    Provide your model

    Upload or share a BIM or IFC model. It becomes one shared source for every analysis.

  2. Step 2

    Model intelligence

    We validate the structure and extract geometry, elements, spaces, materials, properties and quantities.

  3. Step 3

    Information gaps

    Missing, incomplete or unsuitable information is identified before it affects later work.

  4. Step 4

    Relevant intelligence

    Cost, carbon, asset or risk analysis is applied — only the services relevant to your objective.

  5. Step 5

    Compare

    Current and proposed materials, designs or mitigations are compared so trade-offs are clear.

  6. Step 6

    Reports & recommendations

    You receive decision-ready outputs for your selected objective.

The journey, step by step

The same model runs through eight steps. The full story is written here; the interactive model below brings it to life. Motion is optional — every step is readable without it.

  1. Scene 1· Identify the need

    One Model. Project and Risk Mitigation Intelligence.

    You choose an objective and organisation type. The experience adapts to show only what is relevant.

  2. Scene 2· Everything starts with the model

    Everything Starts with Your BIM or IFC Model.

    The BIM or IFC model becomes the common source for every analysis. One scan reveals geometry, materials, spaces, properties, quantities, routes and assets.

  3. Scene 3· Understand the model

    Understand What Is Inside the Model.

    Floors separate and elements become selectable. Select an element to see its extracted properties — structured extraction, not just a viewer.

  4. Scene 4· Identify information gaps

    Identify Missing Information Before It Affects Decisions.

    Missing materials, classifications, ratings or codes are highlighted with amber outlines, patterns and labels so completeness can be addressed early.

  5. Scene 5· Apply relevant intelligence

    Apply the Intelligence Relevant to Your Project.

    The model switches into cost, carbon, asset or risk mode based on what you selected — the precise pathway, not every capability.

  6. Scene 6· Compare alternatives

    Compare Before You Decide.

    Current and proposed materials, designs or mitigations are compared so trade-offs are clear before a decision is made.

  7. Scene 7· Model specialist scenarios

    Visualise Possible Impacts and Mitigation Options.

    For relevant projects, a fire or restricted-access demonstration shows hazard, impact zones, blocked routes and alternatives. A concept demonstration — not a validated simulation.

  8. Scene 8· Receive outputs

    Bring Us Your Model. We Will Configure the Intelligence Around Your Project.

    The model reforms and the relevant reports appear, with a clear next action.

Evidence Outputs

From model intelligence to decision-ready evidence.

I-Cost turns BIM, IFC and project data into structured outputs that project teams can use for cost review, carbon reporting, risk discussion, procurement support, ESG evidence and stakeholder decision-making.

Cost exposure report

Shows affected packages, quantities, assumptions and estimated cost exposure linked to model evidence.

Traceable to IFC quantities and affected elements

Carbon dashboard

Shows embodied and operational carbon outputs with factor, quantity and assumption transparency.

Traceable to factors, quantities and model elements

Information-gap report

Identifies missing or weak model data before cost, carbon or risk outputs are relied upon.

Traceable to weak properties and incomplete IFC data

Risk scenario register

Records scenario type, affected spaces, systems, cost exposure, carbon relevance and mitigation notes.

Traceable to affected spaces, systems and routes

Scope 3 supplier map

Helps track supplier, contractor, maintenance, catering, waste and service emissions across the project or asset.

Traceable to supplier sources and asset activities

Event-day impact summary

Captures fan travel, temporary power, catering, waste, cleaning and logistics impacts for stadium and venue operations.

Traceable to event operations and activity data

ESG and procurement evidence pack

Supports tenders, client reporting, board review, sustainability disclosures and project governance.

Traceable to audit trail links and evidence documents

Green-claims substantiation note

Shows assumptions, data sources and evidence trails behind sustainability claims to reduce greenwashing risk.

Traceable to assumptions, sources and evidence tags

Evidence outputs are only as strong as the source data provided. Final reports should be validated against agreed methodology, project quantities, EPDs, metered energy, supplier data and specialist review where required.

Competitive edge

Why I-Cost Is Different

Cost and carbon integration is no longer enough. I-Cost is designed as an IFC-first intelligence layer where cost lines, carbon figures, information gaps and risk exposures can be traced back to the same model elements, spaces, systems or evidence sources.

One IFC evidence model

Upload once and use the same model evidence across cost, carbon, information quality and scenario-risk outputs.

GlobalId traceability

Connect outputs back to IFC elements and spaces, making it clearer which asset, quantity or assumption produced each result.

Transparent calculations

Expose the assumptions, factors, quantities and data gaps behind the output instead of hiding decisions inside disconnected spreadsheets.

Risk linked to cost and carbon

Move beyond reporting by showing how scenarios can affect assets, spaces, continuity, cost exposure and carbon impact.

I-Cost does not position cost-plus-carbon integration alone as the novelty. The focus is traceable project intelligence: linking cost, carbon, information gaps and scenario risk through one auditable evidence trail.

Flagship differentiator

Risk scenarios linked to cost, carbon and model evidence.

I-Cost connects risk scenarios to IFC spaces, systems, circulation routes and affected assets, helping project and asset teams understand not only where a risk occurs, but what it could mean for cost, carbon, operations, resilience and evidence reporting.

Fire and access disruption

Map affected spaces, blocked routes, emergency zones and reinstatement exposure against the model.

Energy failure

Identify systems, areas and operations affected by power loss, backup failure or critical plant dependency.

BMS and cyber exposure

Assess how building-system disruption could affect HVAC, access control, monitoring, alarms and operational continuity.

Maintenance backlog

Link deferred maintenance to asset condition, downtime, repair cost and avoidable carbon impact.

Climate resilience

Assess heat, flood, storm and severe-weather exposure across spaces, systems and operational zones.

Event-day disruption

Model disruption from crowd pressure, queues, temporary power, catering, cleaning, logistics and venue operations.

Business interruption

Translate affected spaces and systems into continuity risk, repair exposure and operational downtime.

Insurance-facing evidence

Produce structured evidence for risk advisers, insurers, asset owners and project teams reviewing exposure and mitigation.

Risk scenario outputs are demonstration intelligence, not a substitute for statutory fire engineering, crowd modelling, cyber assessment, structural review or formal insurance underwriting. Final assessments should be validated by qualified specialists and agreed project data.
