Data-Rich Models: BIM models consist of detailed information regarding building elements, including dimensions, quantities, and properties. This data is essential for quantity take-off.

Automated Calculations: Another perk of BIM software tools is that they can automatically extract and calculate the quantity of various materials such as concrete, steel, bricks, insulation, plumbing fixtures, and more. These calculations are based on the information embedded within the BIM  model.

Classification Systems: Quantity take-off in BIM ensures it consistently meets industry standards by utilising classification systems such as Unformat or Master-Format.

Accuracy: Utilising BIM for quantity take-offs ensures exceptional precision in material calculations, minimising the potential for costly overestimation or shortages. This accuracy optimises resource allocation and project cost control.

Efficiency: With BIM models, automation and data extraction can  significantly reduce the time required for quantity take-off compared to manual methods.

Cost Control: The precision of quantity data enhances cost estimation, promoting meticulous budgeting, and mitigating the likelihood of unforeseen budget overruns. This accuracy empowers better financial control in construction projects.

Procurement Optimisation: Having exact material quantities assists you in optimising the procurement process, allowing you to reduce waste and        excess inventory.

Design Optimisation: Data is analysed by designers and architects in order to make educated judgements about the usage of materials and  components, as well as to compare and contrast the numerous design alternatives.

Project Planning: By informing project planning and scheduling quantity data, it helps ensure that materials are available when required.
