In today's fast-paced construction industry, cost overruns, material waste, and planning delays can quickly derail a project. That’s why Quantity Take-off from BIM Models is no longer optional—it’s essential.

At AEC Digital Solutions, we help construction firms, architects, engineers, and developers extract precise quantity estimates directly from intelligent BIM models. Our data-driven approach replaces manual workflows with accuracy, speed, and cost-efficiency.


✅ What is Quantity Take-off from BIM Models?

Quantity Take-off (QTO) is the process of estimating material quantities—like concrete, steel, finishes, MEP elements, and more—for use in construction planning and cost estimation.

When integrated with Building Information Modeling (BIM), QTO becomes faster, more reliable, and highly detailed. Our team at AEC Digital Solutions uses BIM 3D models to generate digital quantity estimates that support:

  • Budgeting & cost control

  • Construction sequencing (4D BIM)

  • Procurement planning

  • Sustainability efforts (less waste)


🎯 How AEC Digital Solutions Supports You

1. Model-Driven Accuracy

We use intelligent BIM objects to extract exact quantities for every material and component, ensuring precise cost estimations with minimal risk of error.

2. Multi-Disciplinary Take-offs

From architectural finishes to structural reinforcements and MEP installations, our BIM-based take-offs cover all trades and construction phases.

3. Faster Bidding and Tendering

Speed is crucial in preconstruction. With AEC Digital Solutions, you get fast, reliable data to meet tight bid deadlines—backed by real-time model updates.

4. Cost Optimization

Accurate QTO helps reduce waste, prevent over-ordering, and control costs—giving your project a financial edge from day one.

5. Compatibility with Estimation Tools

Our outputs are ready for integration with cost estimation software like CostX, Revit, Navisworks, and Excel-based systems.
