Semantic definitions at the entity
Entity definition

An IfcCostSchedule brings together instances of IfcCostItem either for the purpose of identifying purely cost information as in an estimate for constructions costs or for including cost information within another presentation form such as a work order.

HISTORY  New entity in IFC2.0.
IFC4 CHANGE  Attribute ID renamed to Identification and promoted to supertype IfcControl, PredefinedType made optional, attributes PreparedBy, SubmittedBy, TargetUsers removed.

@RelatedObjects
S[0:?]Reference to the relationship objects, that assign (by an association relationship) other subtypes of IfcObject to this object instance. Examples are the association to products, processes, controls, resources or groups.X
NestsIfcRelNests
@RelatedObjects
S[0:1]References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is a part within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object occurrence or type can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical strutures only).
IsNestedByIfcRelNests
@RelatingObject
S[0:?]References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is the whole within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object or object type can be nested by several other objects (occurrences or types). X

@RelatedDefinitions
S[0:1]References to the context providing context information such as project unit or representation context. It should only be asserted for the uppermost non-spatial object.

S[0:1]Set of relationships to the object type that provides the type definitions for this object occurrence.

IsDefinedByIfcRelDefinesByProperties
@RelatedObjects
S[0:?]Set of relationships to property set definitions attached to this object. Those statically or dynamically defined properties contain alphanumeric information content that further defines the object. X

Definitions applying to Bridge View

 Instance diagram


Quantity information may be included in plans for several reasons: as a shortcut for contractors considering bidding to quickly determine whether the scope of a project is compatible with resource availability, and as verification in preparing a bid to determine whether everything has been captured in quantity takeoff. If geometry is of sufficient detail, then quantities may be more easily derived automatically, i.e. parameterized solid modeling rather than boundary representations or tessellations.

Quantities are detailed here because they are specifically included in the plans for the sample bridge. No recommendation is made as to whether they should be included for a particular bridge; rather that is left for the contracting parties to determine.

Schedules of quantities are captured as IfcCostSchedule with PredefinedType of BILLOFQUANTITIES. Each item in the schedule is captured as IfcCostItem, with individual costs captured as IfcCostValue. Physical elements that comprise quantities are related using the relationship IfcRelAssignsToControl.
