Cost Estimate & Takeoff
Cost Estimate & Takeoff
Introduction
AMC Engineer provides precise BIM Cost Estimation and Quantity Takeoff services using Revit/Navisworks to extract live quantities from LOD 300-500 models, delivering accurate cost forecasts that reduce budget overruns by 15-25%.
Service Breakdown
- Quantity Takeoff (QTO): Automated extraction of materials/volumes from BIM models—concrete, rebar, steel, MEP ducts/pipes—for all disciplines with 98% accuracy.
- Cost Estimation: Unit rates applied to QTO data with live scheduling (5D) for budgeting, value engineering, and tender packages.
- Reporting: Detailed BOQs, cost breakdowns, and visualizations exportable to Excel/CostX for client/contractor review.
Our Process
- Step 1: Import federated BIM model and validate quantities via Navisworks Quantification.
- Step 2: Classify elements and apply regional rates (Saudi/UAE/SBC codes).
- Step 3: Run 5D cost simulation with sensitivity analysis and risk factors.
- Step 4: Deliver interactive BOQ + cost model with 24-hour revisions.
Key Reasons To Choose Us
- 98% QTO accuracy eliminates manual errors and double counting.
- Live cost updates linked to model changes—no re-entry needed.
- Saudi Vision 2030/SBC-compliant rates for infrastructure/MEP projects.
- Free QTO sample from your model upload within 24 hours.
FAQs
What is BIM Quantity Takeoff (QTO)?
Automated extraction of precise material quantities (concrete, rebar, steel, MEP ducts/pipes) directly from LOD 300-500 BIM models using Revit/Navisworks, achieving 98% accuracy across all disciplines.
How does Cost Estimation work?
Unit rates from regional databases (Saudi/UAE/SBC codes) applied to live QTO data with 5D simulations for budgeting, value engineering, tendering, and risk analysis.
What materials do you quantify?
Complete coverage: structural (concrete/rebar/steel), architectural (walls/finishes), MEP (ducts/pipes/equipment), electrical (cables/panels), infrastructure (utilities/roads).
What reports do you deliver?
Interactive BOQs, cost breakdowns by phase/discipline, 5D visualizations, Excel/CostX exports, and sensitivity analysis with risk contingencies.
How accurate are your estimates?
98% QTO accuracy eliminates manual errors/double counting; live model updates ensure estimates reflect design changes instantly.
What is the process timeline?
24 hours for QTO sample; full BOQ + cost model in 3-5 days; 5D simulation with revisions in 48 hours.
Do you support Saudi Vision 2030 projects?
Yes, SBC-compliant rates for infrastructure, hospitals, airports with Vision 2030 mega-project experience.
Can you handle design alternatives?
Yes, rapid model modifications enable “what-if” cost scenarios for value engineering and client decision-making.
What file formats are supported?
Revit federated models, Navisworks NWD, IFC, Excel BOQs, CostX native files, and PDF executive summaries.
