The concept of 'Cost elements' is used to capture cost information in the IFC model. The main concern in this point has been, if there is actual need to write cost information into the IFC model and exchange it with others using IFCs, or if the IFC model just provides information for creating a cost estimate. The cost estimates could be shared using XML (with an appropriate schema) or something else more 'cost oriented'. The IFC model can be used for this purpose, but people have not been too exited about that possibility yet.
