There are no Cost Standardization in Denmark

The standardization in how we collect cost data, and right now today in the Industry we don’t have a sufficient standardization around cost

We need to drive forward in standardization
preparing how we manage cost in the Danish Industry
And that’s something that KOSMOS are very much driving with our clients
Our current clients and will be with our future clients
We have one cost breakdown structure in our organization

Currently, in Denmark, today, there’s no standards around cost


You have, historically what’s called SFB, which is a standard cost breakdown structure.
It’s a very loose structure when you compare it to its counterparts in the UK or in Ireland.
We have something called BIM7AA, which is a coding structure for 3D models. Not a cost breakdown structure – a coding structure.
The principles are based on SFB, so you could say you could use it.

You have CCS coding structure. Again it’s a coding structure for building parts within a 3D model environment, not a cost breakdown structure.


We don’t have a sufficient standardization around cost, so we will not be able to automate in the Industry in Denmark around cost because it doesn’t exist.
