Build smarter from design to delivery
Methvin unifies estimating, BIM coordination, project management and Gantt scheduling into a single platform built for Design & Construct teams. Eliminate rework, protect margins and keep every discipline aligned from concept to handover.
Why Methvin for Design & Construct
Four capabilities that close the gap between design intent and profitable delivery — all in one connected platform.
Design-phase cost certainty
Estimate directly from design drawings and model quantities the moment design decisions are made, not weeks later. Catch budget blowouts while changes are still cheap.
BIM clash detection, built in
Coordinate structural, MEP and architectural models inside Methvin. Flag clashes early, log resolution actions and keep your federated model in sync with the live estimate.
Program locked to scope
Build Gantt programs that automatically reflect scope changes from your estimate. Critical path, predecessors and resource loading update in real time — no manual resync needed.
Single source of truth on site
RFIs, submittals, variations and site instructions are linked directly to program tasks and cost items. Your construction team always works from the current design intent.
Tools built for D&C workflows
Each module is purpose-built for design-and-construct procurement and delivery — not repurposed generic project software.
Estimate
Quantity take-off, rate libraries and supplier pricing assembled into detailed BOQs. Model-linked items update automatically as design evolves.
Learn more →BIM Coordination
Upload IFC models, run clash detection, assign resolution tasks and sync approved design changes back to the cost plan in a single workflow.
Learn more →Project Management
Manage RFIs, submittals, design-review register, meeting minutes and variation logs. Every action traceable to its corresponding design issue or cost event.
Learn more →Gantt Scheduler
Interactive bar-chart programs with critical path, resource histograms and baseline tracking. Progress updated directly from site via mobile — no export/import cycle.
Explore BIM →Close the design-to-cost gap permanently
Design & Construct projects fail when design decisions and cost decisions live in different systems. Methvin keeps them in lockstep.
- Estimate updates the moment a design revision is approved, not at month-end
- BIM clash resolution triggers automatic programme float recalculation
- All variation claims reference the original design-intent document automatically
- Subcontractors access scoped packages with model views, not raw PDF sets
- Forecast-at-completion updates continuously from site progress logs
What D&C teams say
Reviews from estimators, project managers and BIM coordinators using Methvin on live projects.
“Having estimate and programme in the same platform changed everything for us. When the architect issued Revision C, the cost impact and critical path effect were visible within the hour. That used to take two days.”
“The BIM coordination module removed our biggest coordination headache. We caught 23 MEP clashes before concrete was poured. The cost saving dwarfed the annual subscription by a factor of ten.”
“Our Gantt was always a week out of date because the estimator and planner used different tools. Methvin fixed that. Site foremen log progress on mobile and the programme and forecast update automatically.”
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from D&C estimators, BIM managers and project teams evaluating Methvin.
How does Methvin link my BIM model to the estimate?
Upload your IFC model and map model elements to estimate line items. Quantity changes in the model propagate to the BOQ, keeping your cost plan current without manual re-entry.
Can we run clash detection inside Methvin without third-party software?
Yes. Methvin's built-in BIM viewer supports IFC clash detection across disciplines. Results are logged as coordination issues with assignees and due dates, fully trackable from within the platform.
Does the Gantt scheduler support critical path and resource levelling?
Methvin's Gantt supports critical path calculation, predecessor relationships, resource histograms and baseline tracking. Progress updates from site automatically recalculate float and forecast finish dates.
How are design variations managed across cost, programme and documentation?
A variation raised against a design RFI links to the affected estimate items and programme tasks. The variation claim, cost adjustment and programme impact are reviewed and approved as a single workflow item.
Can subcontractors access Methvin to view their scoped packages?
Subcontractors receive controlled-access invitations to view the scope, drawings and model elements relevant to their package only. They can submit queries, receive RFI responses and upload compliance documents directly.
Is Methvin suitable for early design-phase budget estimates as well as tender BOQs?
Absolutely. Methvin supports concept-level order-of-magnitude estimates using elemental rates, detailed tender BOQs with supplier pricing, and live cost-to-complete forecasting through construction — all in one workspace.
