Yogyakarta, March 6, 2026 — The Building Information Modeling (BIM) Community of the Civil Engineering Department (DTS) at Universitas Gadjah Mada Vocational College once again organized a regular training program aimed at enhancing the skills of its members. This session specifically focused on the application of BIM software in quantity takeoff and construction cost estimation.
The training was held at the Center of Excellence Smart & Green Building Information Laboratory, Room 504 of the Teaching Industry Learning Center (TILC) Building, UGM Vocational College, and was attended by 32 students of the BIM DTS Community.
The activity aimed to enhance students’ competencies and readiness in responding to the development of the modern construction industry, which increasingly relies on BIM technology. Through the training, students were equipped with skills in BIM-based construction cost estimation as a response to the industry’s growing dependence on digital technology in project planning and management.
The training was conducted through a hands-on approach using Cubicost software. During the session, participants learned how to utilize various Cubicost features to calculate work volumes, determine material quantities, and prepare project cost estimations accurately based on the prepared BIM models.
This regular training program reflects the commitment of the BIM DTS UGM Community to supporting the development of human resources in the field of digital construction. In addition to understanding fundamental BIM concepts, students are also encouraged to master software applications widely used in today’s construction industry.
