## Key Points - QA/QC for electrical design at Smith + Andersen - Proposals are an issue — found an AI company that does this - Hired their own AI researcher - QA/QC: they write their own scripts in Revit — doesn't need external tool for Revit shops - Can see it useful for AutoCAD shops though - Estimating: hires a pricing consultant, sometimes asks them to consult and price - Cost consultants: Hanscomb (quantity surveyors, certified), Altus Group - Gordian: subscription service for pricing (RSM Means data — material, labor, markup) - Not as accurate as market pricing, only used when owner wants ballpark - P3/consortium projects: contractor is client, BIM model is shared, they may ask for counts ## Pain Points Mentioned - Contract still based on 2D PDF of the model even when BIM exists - Quality problems: overlapping elements, poor presentation, things that print differently from model
