5D BIM includes cost estimation related information in the project model that links the data related to accurate cost estimation and planning. It gives a positive return on investment in construction projects.

Architectural, Mechanical & Structural shop drawings are the three primary shop drawings required for any construction project. Contractors need construction drawings for residential and commercial projects works such as renovation, retrofitting, construction of new structure and so on so forth. 2D construction drawings from 3d models are useful in making estimate of the building plan.

5D BIM is an evolving segment in the construction industry, comprehending the customary three-dimensions of a BIM with schedule as the fourth dimension and cost estimates as the fifth dimension.

Legacy drawings often cause design conflicts due to a lack of visualization and interdisciplinary clashes. Adopting BIM allows architects and architectural firms to identify design clashes in the pre-construction stage, reduce rework and increase productivity. With a 360-degree visualization, architects can create virtual tours and win quick client approvals. BIM for architects provides improved collaboration, quick creation of multiple design prototypes, and better scheduling and cost estimates to architects and architectural firms.
