CRESIRE's Revit Modeling and Quantity Takeoff Approach: A Mixed-Development
CRESIRE’s BIM (Building Information Modeling) expertise shines through in its approach to this multifaceted project, encompassing a residential building, an office building, and a factory. Their meticulous Revit modeling and quantity takeoff process ensures accuracy, efficiency, and seamless collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.
1. Planning and Preparation
- Gather Project Data: The first step involved acquiring all relevant architectural, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) drawings, specifications, and material lists.
- Establish Modeling Standards: CRESIRE defined clear guidelines for Revit families, naming conventions, and model organization to ensure consistency and clarity.
- Coordinate with Stakeholders: Open communication with architects, engineers, and contractors was crucial for aligning expectations and avoiding rework
2. 3D Revit Modeling
- Separate Models for Each Discipline: CRESIRE creates individual Revit models for the architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines of the residential building, office building, and factory, facilitating independent editing and decision-making.
- Detailed Component Creation: Walls, doors, windows, stairs, MEP equipment, and other building elements were meticulously modeled using appropriate Revit families and parameters.
3. Quantity Takeoff
- Automated Calculations: CRESIRE leverages Revit’s powerful tools to automatically extract quantities for materials like concrete, steel, bricks, electrical wiring, and plumbing pipes.
- Custom Takeoff Reports: Depending on project requirements, CRESIRE generates customized reports for specific material types, floors, or building sections.
Benefits of CRESIRE's Approach
- Reduced Errors: Revit’s parametric modeling minimized manual calculations and human errors, leading to more accurate quantity takeoffs.
- Improved Collaboration: Shared Revit models fostered better communication and coordination between project teams, streamlining workflows and resolving conflicts early.
- Efficient Cost Estimation: Accurate quantity takeoffs directly fed into Revit, resulted in more reliable budgets and informed decision-making.
- Improved Sustainability: Precise material estimations minimized material waste and promoted sustainable construction practices.
