BIM quantity takeoff
Turn model elements into quantities and schedules for estimating and tendering.
The problem
Manual takeoff is slow and easy to get wrong. A model can produce quantities quickly, but only if it is clear whether each quantity was read from the model or computed from geometry.
What we need (input)
- Model elements with quantities or measurable geometry
What we produce (output)
- Quantity schedules by element and storey
- A basis for cost and carbon calculation
How the analysis works
- Read quantities from IFC where present, or derive them from geometry.
- Group quantities by element, storey and space.
- State the source of each quantity so it can be checked.
Limitations and honesty
Demonstration data- Whether quantities are read, computed or both is confirmed per model.
- Demonstration quantities on this site are examples only.
