IFC Quantity Takeoff Extraction
Extract structured quantity data from BIM models (IFC, Revit) for cost estimation, material ordering, and progress tracking.
Business Case
Problem: Manual quantity takeoff is:
- Time-consuming (40-80 hours for medium project)
- Error-prone (human counting mistakes)
- Not repeatable (changes require full rework)
- Disconnected from design (no live updates)
Solution: Automated QTO from BIM that:
- Extracts all quantities in minutes
- Groups by type, level, zone
- Updates instantly with model changes
- Exports to Excel for pricing
ROI: 90% reduction in QTO time, near-zero counting errors
