Drastically accelerate your ability to get accurate material takeoffs. By using UNIFI, Revit software, Assemble Systems, and Microsoft Power BI, we’ve developed a workflow to easily generate accurate, timely BIM (Building Information Modeling) quantity takeoffs that can be shared with the entire project team. The workflow greatly reduces the time spent to complete an initial quantity takeoff. Project updates can easily be captured at major milestones and instantly updated to a Power BI dashboard, where the entire project team can access the data. By using a combination of Assemble Systems and Power BI, the estimating and project team can easily see and understand the location of the quantities that are being generated, and how those quantities are impacting the cost of the project throughout the lifecycle of the project design. In addition, this information is more easily accessible via web-hosted solutions.

For general contractors and trade contractors alike, estimators play a key role in winning new business. Their primary function is to translate scope in the form of specs and plans to material, labor, and equipment—ultimately creating the estimated project cost and schedule. More and more of the industry is turning to integrating model-based takeoff in their existing estimating workflows. Preconstruction is one of the most important phases in the project lifecycle; due diligence done earlier in the project helps to avoid surprises during construction. Join Dustin DeVan, CEO of BuildingConnected, and Brent Ramos, sales director at Assemble Systems, as they share how they’re working to simplify the process for aggregating and reporting material quantities and streamline preconstruction processes.

The cost of a project is directly related to the schedule. How many work hours are required for each step? How will design changes and delays impact the cost?
