Electrical Quantity take off from BIM

It is common for project stakeholders to seek to know why BIM is necessary for their project. To ensure that project teams don't lose out on cost and time savings, BIM adoption is carefully evaluated in a number of projects. BIM should be used to its fullest extent in order to decrease construction risk for project participants.

Electrical BIM Quantity takeoff

Electrical contractors often demand detailed quantity takeoffs in order to integrate with the designer's model. The Bill of Materials (BOM) assists in the development of fabrication models. The accurate amount of materials is updated in real-time when the BIM model is modified. The level of detail enables 4D construction sequencing, 3D as-built models development, and the ability to extract accurate quantities directly from the 3d models.

An Electrical quantity take off comprises of the following elements:

• Electrical Equipment (Transformers, Generators, RMU, Distribution Panels etc.)
• Electrical Fixtures (Lights, Switches, Sockets, Data Outlets, Nurse Call Devices, Security Devices, Fire Alarm Devices etc.)
• Electrical Conduits & Fittings
• Cable Trays & Fittings

How does QTO Benefits Electrical Contractors?

• Better Planning of Material Procurement Process
• Better understanding of Project Cost
• Save inventory cost by optimizing the material procurement based on site requirements
• Better site execution plan, depending on the availability of materials.
• Conduct detailed cost analysis based on the estimated requirement of quantities.
