MODEL BASED QUANTITY TAKE OFF AND ESTIMATION
Accurate quantity take-offs and cost estimates throughout the life cycle of a project from construction specific 3D model.
We offer a Quantity take-off service based on our internally developed 3D models that serve the requirements of estimations as well. We use a process in which BIM can assist in the generation of accurate quantity take-offs and cost estimates throughout the life cycle of a project. This process allows the project team to forecast the cost implications of their design changes during all phases of the project, which can help to curb excessive budget overruns due to project modifications. Specifically, BIM can provide the cost implications of additions and modifications, with potential to save time and money, which can be most beneficial in the early design stages of a project.
Benefits of the model based quantification:
• Presize quantities based on construction models (made for that purpose)
• Quickly generated quantities from construction models for better decision making
• Great way of visualization of the estimated construction elements and quantities – no "big black box" effect any more in estimations
• Early estimation information in early design phase can be calculated
• Easy and quick way of updating quantities: if the model changes quantities will follow that
• Estimators can have a better focus on price instead of quantification – time saving, better pricing
• Easy way of quantity tracking and its visualization – what quantity/element changed, why, where...
