Estimating with Revit
Revit is a powerful tool for generating early and detailed estimates directly from the building model.
‌
Module overview
Revit is a powerful tool for generating early and detailed estimates directly from the building model. In this module, you will learn how to prepare a Revit model for quantification, create material takeoffs, and use schedules with formulas to estimate construction costs. You will explore how modeling practices affect quantity accuracy and gain skills to extract meaningful cost data for planning and decision-making. It is expected that you have basic knowledge in navigating models in Revit and understanding how families, types, and instances of elements are related.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
- Prepare Revit models for accurate quantity extraction.
- Create material takeoffs and schedule views.
- Apply formulas to calculate basic costs.
