Quantity takeoff is utilized as part of the construction process from design to as-built stage for almost of BIM objects: General Contractor, Subcontractor, Owner (Investor), Cost consultant, Quantity Survey…
They use it for counting the number of items associated with a particular construction project, determining the associated materials and labor costs, and formulating a bid (or estimate) as part of the bidding process. Quantity takeoff is also applied to the pricing process. This can be used for various purposes - initial pricing, bidding, cost impact of changes made to the model etc.
We provide BIM oriented estimating solution that can produce the quantity takeoff automatically based on the calculation criteria set by the estimator and product the estimators a unified platform for easily reviewing a BIM model in both 2D and 3D view. At the same time it has the ability to further take off the quantities into estimating assemblies and items, with a breakdown of construction materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
As the model gets the information about all the objects in the building as well as their dimensions the Quantity Take off can easily produce necessary information within a very short period
