The technology is driving the construction industry towards BIM-based quantity takeoff and estimating.<\/p><p>The introduction of\u00a0<a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/bim-5d-cost-estimation\">5D BIM for cost analysis<\/a>\u00a0creates an intelligent connection between the 3D model and the cost information of a construction project. And BIM extensions offer a complete quantity takeoff and estimation through room-specific data, comprehensive floor calculation, and other detailed quantification of project materials.<\/p><h2>BIM for Accurate Calculation of Building Quantities<\/h2><p><a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/laser-scan-point-cloud-to-3d-model\">3D models<\/a>\u00a0developed in BIM are data-rich and intelligent models that can link individual elements to the material it represents in the model. And this intelligence can accelerate the quantity takeoff for a construction project, increasing the estimate accuracy.<\/p><p>5D BIM model by creating an intelligent connection between the\u00a0<a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/laser-scan-point-cloud-to-3d-model\">3D BIM model<\/a>\u00a0and the cost information of the project results in a\u00a0<a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/bim-5d-cost-estimation\">5D information model<\/a>\u00a0having attributes to calculate the overall cost of the project. Integration of BIM with a\u00a0<a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/bim-5d-cost-estimation\">5D simulation<\/a>\u00a0model allows one to view the progress of activities, related costs over time, and updated changes made to the project. 5D BIM results in accurate estimates of material, equipment, and labor.<\/p><h2>Use of BIM Extensions for Complete Material Calculation<\/h2><p>Even though 5D BIM offers more consistent and accurate cost estimation, it has some implementation challenges. The low LOD of 5D BIM restricts it from extracting detailed data from the 3D model for cost estimation. Application of BIM extension helps get complete material takeoff and quantity calculation. A few of the BIM extensions for complete material calculation are listed below.<\/p><h2>Roombook Extension for Revit<\/h2><div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive boxsn mb20 mt20\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/uploads\/uploaded_images\/1678361850_roombook-extension.jpg\" alt=\"BIM Extensions for Complete Material Calculation\n\" \/><\/div><p>Autodesk released the Roombook extension for Revit to fetch more information about rooms in Revit architecture 2011. Roombook extension helps get quantities for room-specific data of the project model that is significant for quantity takeoff analysis. We can fetch and calculate the surface areas of walls, floors, and ceiling elements, room circumferences, and the total number of furnishing elements within a project.<\/p><p>Once we install the Roombook extension, a panel appears in the Add-ins tab of Revit architecture that enables specifying various analysis settings and adding materials that we can use for rooms. Configure settings and then select the \u2018Calculate room quantities\u2019 function. The room quantities dialog box displays all the individual element listings for the following items.<\/p><ul id=\"checkmark\" class=\"list-group checkmark teamlist\"><li>Wall Surfaces<\/li><li>Floor Surfaces<\/li><li>Ceiling Surfaces<\/li><li>Room Circumferences<\/li><li>Furniture Elements<\/li><\/ul><p>If we select \u2018Furniture elements,\u2019 Revit will list each piece of furniture in each room with the family and type name and quantity.<\/p><p>And when we select \u2018wall surfaces,\u2019 Revit provides each wall in and around every room. We get the wall type along with the following information.<\/p><ul id=\"checkmark\" class=\"list-group checkmark teamlist\"><li>Materials making the wall type\u2019s structure<\/li><li>Area of the wall<\/li><li>Height of the wall<\/li><li>Total area for all walls<\/li><li>Subarea for each door, window, etc., hosted in the wall<\/li><\/ul><p>We can add materials like paint, tile, and wallpaper to an analyzed wall without modifying the actual Revit wall family type structure and export the results to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or DWF file to get used by Autodesk quantity takeoff.<\/p><h2>Areabook Extension for Revit<\/h2><p>The Areabook extension helps calculate living and net areas of rooms and by room groups. It calculates a comprehensive floor area calculation through net, gross, and construction floor areas.<\/p><p>In the Areabook extension, we can combine room groups and evaluate by levels, departments, flats, buildings, and building sections. Subareas can be automatically detected and calculated, such as wall columns and wall segments. We can select sub-areas under roofs and stairs based on height lines and calculation factors.<\/p><p>Areabook uses several national standards for calculating areas, i.e., international standards and DIN standards. The DIN standard (Germany) area calculation is according to DIN 277 and WoflV or II.BV.<\/p><p>The following workflow describes the methods to define rooms and calculate areas in the Areabook extension.<\/p><ul id=\"checkmark\" class=\"list-group checkmark teamlist\"><li>Create rooms and define project standards with calculation settings.<\/li><li>Define area assignment by room name and calculate the area.<\/li><li>Edit properties of room and subareas.<\/li><li>Create room groups and edit properties of room groups<\/li><li>Choose the floor area, i.e., gross floor area, construction floor area, and net room area, and define their tags in the drawing.<\/li><li>Export the area calculation in different formats like MS Excel, design web format, CSV, and Revit schedules.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Buildingbook Extension for Revit<\/h2><div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive boxsn mb20 mt20\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/uploads\/uploaded_images\/1678361883_buildingbook-extension-02.jpg\" alt=\"BIM Extensions for Complete Material Calculation\" \/><\/div><p>Buildingbook extension of Revit aids in the detailed quantification of materials by calculating the material-related quantities of constructive building parts covered under layers and components.<\/p><p>The typical method or workflow for calculating materials-related quantities in the Buildingbook extension includes<\/p><ul id=\"checkmark\" class=\"list-group checkmark teamlist\"><li>View and change the project standard that determines the specific parameters for calculating and reporting building parts data.<\/li><li>Edit the project standard calculation setting in the Buildingbook to calculate sub-areas such as the opening of walls, ceilings, floors, and foundations. The international standard does not contain project standard-specific calculation settings. Therefore, we can use the German VOB standard that specifies many rules for calculating quantities.<\/li><li>Select the elements for building book calculation through a filtering process or manual method. In the filtering process, specify filter elements under selection in the \u2018calculate building part quantities\u2019 dialog box. You can also specify another conditional filtering under the range section. And in the manual method, specify categories in \u2018Select graphically in the project\u2019 under the selection dialog box.<\/li><li>Select the calculation type in the \u2018Calculate Building part quantities\u2019 dialog box and click on view\/edit results to review the calculation data.<\/li><li>You can edit the properties of the calculated building part and sub-elements.<\/li><li>Specify the export format and template and include pictures to export the Buildingbook data.<\/li><\/ul><p>Buildingbook includes country-specific calculation standards. International standards calculate real quantities without additional calculation rules, whereas the VOB standard uses an opening measurement system.<\/p><h2>Dynamo Extension in Revit<\/h2><p><a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/bim-5d-cost-estimation\">5D BIM<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0<a class=\"blog_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elogictech.com\/services\/revit-dynamo\">Dynamo<\/a>\u00a0extension helps calculate the quantity for the project components by script.
