Your project’s quantities, straight from the BIM model — rigorous, in days.

Four things, whichever service it is. The takeoff in Excel, per element, per floor and per zone, with formulas rather than pasted values. The drawing of everything measured, in DXF, with each element's identifier on its own layer — open it next to the Excel, in any program, without buying anything. The balance, where the element-by-element sum has to match the total to the thousandth; when it doesn't, the takeoff isn't delivered. And the list of what was left out, with the reason for each exclusion: an item with no measurement comes out as “not measured”, never as zero. The last two rarely accompany a takeoff — and they are the ones that let you verify it without trusting anyone.

Yes. Every firm has its own chapters, its own order and its own conventions — “gross area without deducting walls”, “excluding balconies”, “not counting basement common areas”. Receiving an Excel that then has to be retyped by hand into the house sheet saves no time at all, which was the only thing you were buying. We learn your taxonomy once and write the mapping between our items and yours; from then on the takeoff arrives already in the right format. It is charged once per company, not per project: an add-on on the first job, included from the second onwards.

They are. Your files are treated as confidential and we sign a non-disclosure agreement whenever you want one. We work with you and we do not share your models.

We measure exactly what is modelled. Before measuring, we run a model pre-check and flag what needs attention — but upstream modelling errors (made by third parties) or elements that were never modelled fall outside what any measurement, manual or algorithmic, can capture. We always tell you clearly what was left out.

A plugin has fixed logic: it measures the way it was programmed, and it is your bill of quantities that has to adapt to whatever comes out. Here it works the other way round. The engine is ours, so we tune it to your measurement criteria and to the structure of your bill of quantities. And the criteria that separate two firms are rarely big ones: does the paint on a wall stop at the dropped ceiling, or carry on up to the slab? And the plasterboard on that same wall — does it stop where the paint stops, or go all the way up? Is the floor under a fitted wardrobe measured in full, or 20 cm in and no further? None of those answers is wrong; what is wrong is receiving a number measured to somebody else’s convention and having to convert it by hand, project after project. Those rules are written into the engine and applied to every element the same way, from the first to the last. And the model is checked before anything is measured: the audit starts at the model, not at the end.

We can, and usually do. Measurement conventions change from company to company and sometimes from client to client. Tell us yours — in writing, or from an old bill of quantities — and they become part of the engine that measures your project. From the second project onwards they are already there, applied the same way to every element.

No problem — we adjust the package and the price to the real scope before moving forward. We take on a limited number of projects at a time, so we always talk first to confirm the fit and the terms.

You send us your BIM model (Revit or IFC) and we return a real, measured excerpt of your own project, so you can judge the accuracy and format before deciding to move forward with a paid package.
