Quantity Take-Off

<p>Model linked estimation application: High precision, fully automated easy to use take-off and quantity estimating software for buildings in real estate projects. This document is meant for the engineers engaged in real estate projects who principally perform estimation, planning and execution activities. This application converts several AutoCAD 2D drawings into 3D model information and transfers to remote database server to generate 3D models, shop drawings and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) as required for perfect project management.</p>

Integrated Tools: AutoCAD Data Extraction

<p>Let us examine a use case from a building project. The image below shows a real-time common problem in every project management</p>

Why Tools

<ul><li><p>Someone else made project drawings & documents in their own understanding and style</p></li><li><p>Project team do not see project scope objects so easily to identify since the scope is mixed up in layers with any relation to BOQ</p></li><li><p>Drawings are filled with junk data where project team get lost in searching scope</p></li><li><p>Project team's job is to rearrange everything into integrated & machine readable format</p></li><li><p>The amount of time and money being wasted without proper tools across several projects is an enterprise and national wastage which must be addressed by one and all involved in project planning and execution.</p></li><li><p>Use of these latest and smart automation tools help projects save huge time and cost.</p></li></ul>

How it works

<ul><li><p>Quickly bring the drawings to minimum manageable size – Cleaning tools according to the problem faced</p></li><li><p>Do not to lose any data represented in some form or the other – Conversion tools</p></li><li><p>Build all missing data by using the power of visualizations – Adding tools</p></li><li><p>Understand the project concept to bring several drawings combining into object-based layers – Selection and viewing Tools</p></li><li><p>Identify the project scope and appropriating object layers – Experienced engineers with project knowledge</p></li><li><p>Deleting obsolete information and keep only unique values – Layer based managing tools</p></li><li><p>Managing AutoCAD commands to quickly format the drawing entities to suit to project scope – AutoCAD hands on experience</p></li><li><p>Mapping the drawing geometry to BOQ based Objects using Layer Object mapping – BOQ/Object knowledge</p></li><li><p>Generate dirty models to verify accuracy of the geometry data – Using 6D BIM tools</p></li><li><p>Generate Object-Layer-Level based BOQ – Using 6D BIM tools</p></li></ul>
