BIM produces more precise cost estimates than traditional methods since it is an intelligent, data-rich model that ties specific components to their materials. <strong>BIM-based Quantity Takeoff (QTO)<\/strong> can extract the geometric data and semantic properties of architectural elements to determine a quantity. Efficient data management and rapid decision-making have been attained with the AEC sector&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/bim\/cad-to-bim-conversion.html\">transition from CAD to BIM<\/a>. The Quantity Takeoff procedure can be automated utilizing BIM workflow as long as the model is built with precise geometry, dimensions, and elemental features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BIM and Quantity Takeoff Process&nbsp;The lifespan cost engineering of the project is aided by the cost estimation and scheduling that designers, contractors, and operators participate in a BIM-based QTO process. Software based on BIM that can extract rich information from BIM models for cost assessment includes Tekla Structures, Autodesk Revit, and Autodesk Navisworks. This reduces labor costs and time by streamlining and enhancing the precision of cost estimation. However, it takes time to manipulate QTO reports. To enable information transmission between cost estimator software and BIM software through a shared database, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) or Application Program Interface (API) are commonly used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BIM-Workflow-for-quantity-Takeoff-Process-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"BIM Workflow for quantity Takeoff Process\" class=\"wp-image-976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BIM-Workflow-for-quantity-Takeoff-Process-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BIM-Workflow-for-quantity-Takeoff-Process-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BIM-Workflow-for-quantity-Takeoff-Process-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BIM-Workflow-for-quantity-Takeoff-Process-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BIM-Workflow-for-quantity-Takeoff-Process.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"QTO_Process_Automated_BIM_Framework_Components\"><\/span>QTO Process Automated BIM Framework Components<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering various levels of quantity precision check (QPC) of BIM models, a framework has been designed to provide high accuracy in structural and architectural quantities. The framework comprises a BIM-based model, data extraction and analysis, storage, and visualization modules. It evaluates the consistency of the quantities extracted, computed, and analyzed automatically from 3D BIM models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Data-Extraction-and-Analysis-Module-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"Data Extraction and Analysis Module\" class=\"wp-image-977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Data-Extraction-and-Analysis-Module-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Data-Extraction-and-Analysis-Module-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Data-Extraction-and-Analysis-Module-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Data-Extraction-and-Analysis-Module-1536x1098.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Data-Extraction-and-Analysis-Module.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Initial BIM-based Model\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step and part of the process is creating the BIM model, which can be done with Autodesk Revit. Utilizing BIM models, the system takes identity data features such as material, name, family, and assembly information into account and geometric aspects like volume, area, length, weight, etc., for the QTO\/QPC process. Additional identification data parameters are handled by the system for inconsistency checks. The BIM models provide the structural and architectural elements necessary for the QTO procedure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Automated extraction and analysis of data\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The selection, filtering, sorting, and data analysis between structural elements and their parameters are automated using Dynamo, a visual programming and computational design tool. Filtering based on Work set and Phase parameter names, extracting pertinent parameters from selected concrete and steel elements, and choosing and extracting elements from structural BIM categories are all a part of this automated QTO procedure. After the data extraction and analysis from the model, the next step is storing the analyzed data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Storage of the Extracted Data Analysis\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The following stage involves storing data and findings from the Data Extraction and Analysis Module in an Excel database. The database includes quantities determined by the engineering team from 2D drawings, bidding quantities, and the total quantity of each category from the BIM. The figures gathered from the bidding and 2-D drawings are used for tracking and comparison, while the BIM quantities computed by the developed modules are updated automatically for the QTO process of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Visualization of the Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The BIM model helps in the extraction, analysis and storage of data, requires a data visualization module as the final component of the QTO process. Power BI dashboard is an example of this module that helps in the visualization and examination of the QTO findings for the various project elements such as steel, concrete, glazing and precast architectural concrete. This module allows the comparison of 2D and BIM values with bid amounts and helps track design modifications made to the quantities to help avoid overspending<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_using_Automated_BIM_QTO_process\"><\/span>Benefits of using Automated BIM QTO process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although correct quantity takeoff necessitates that every component in a BIM model has the required information, the <a href=\"https:\/\/marsbiminternational.com\/bim\/5d-cost-estimation.html\">5D BIM-based quantity takeoff<\/a> offers a quick way to estimate quantities from architectural designs.
