automated quantity take-off

CAD based 2D, requires user input of 3D dimension 3D geometric data, generic solids require user input to identify object type BIM based full object oriented 3D geometric data Parametric environment, data replication

10

types of quantities
product/procurement quantities (PPQ) physical material quantities part of final building product determined by the design length and weight of rebar, volume of concrete beams, areas of metal decking

11

types of quantities
Process of Construction Quantities (PCQ) depend on construction process/methods, specific conditions of job based on more detailed breakdown of associated PPQs productivity factors, ex. locations, geometric characteristics, construction methods shoring/scaffolding, areas of formwork, labour hours for hanging drywall, and excavation quantities for earthwork
12

Traditional vs. Automated

Estimating Software
2D paper drawings from design/ engineering team Manual takeoff and manual check for conditions Manually associate take-off info. with assembly items Manual link, changes must be updated by estimator Digital link, changes updated automatically Cost database

Traditional paper-based estimating process Automated estimating process

Extract quantities within BIM tool

Associate digitized take-off info. with component

Associate with assembly items

Calculation of additional quantities item properties

Estimate

3D/BIM models from project

Manually extract quantities with specialized take-off / estimating tool

Auto-extract and associate with assembly items

Supplier / subcontractor pricing

problem statement
cost estimate is time consuming task performed at distant points leaving gaps lack of framework and methodology for automated detailed cost estimating automated quantity take-off for PCQ use of TWBS.
