BIM Quantity Takeoff (QTO) | MEPF | BIM Quantity Takeoff
PRECISE QUANTITIES DIRECTLY FROM THE BIM MODEL
BIM Quantity Takeoff (QTO), also known internationally, allows obtaining exact quantities directly from the digital model to support budgeting, purchasing, and construction planning processes.
Obtain reliable quantities of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems directly from a BIM model, reducing measurement errors and improving your project planning.
Our service provides organized and traceable information for budgets, tenders, purchases, work scheduling and cost control.
WHAT IS BIM QUANTIFICATION?
The BIM Quantification, also known as BIM Quantity Takeoff (QTO), It consists of automatically extracting the quantities of the modeled elements, guaranteeing greater accuracy than traditional methods based solely on 2D plans.
Each quantity comes directly from the digital model, allowing information to be updated quickly when the project changes.

WORK METHODOLOGY
Our process is developed using a methodology aimed at ensuring accuracy and traceability in the information.
- BIM model review
- Definition of the scope of the measurement.
- Technical verification of the information.
- Development of quantification.
- Organization of quantities.
- Review and quality control.
- Delivery of results.
TECHNICAL CONDITIONS
The accuracy of the measurements depends directly on the level of development (LOD) and the quality of the BIM model provided.
SOFTWARE USED
- Autodesk Revit for the extraction, validation and management of quantities directly from MEPF BIM models.
- Autodesk Navisworks for coordination, review and validation processes of the model, when the scope of the project requires it.
Quantity reports are delivered in formats compatible with the client's workflows, according to the project requirements.

What is BIM quantification?
It is the process of obtaining exact quantities of modeled elements directly from a BIM model to support budgeting, purchasing, and planning.
Do I need a BIM model?
Yes. The quantification is based on an existing BIM model. If you don't yet have one, KAMON & CO also offers BIM modeling services.
Which disciplines can be quantified?
HVAC, electrical networks, water and sanitation networks, and fire protection systems, among other disciplines modeled in BIM.
What does BIM Quantity Takeoff (QTO) mean?
BIM Quantity Takeoff (QTO) is the international term used to describe the quantification or extraction of quantities directly from a BIM model. At KAMON & CO, we developed this process to obtain accurate and traceable information that facilitates budgeting, purchasing, and project planning.
Are the measurements updated if the model changes?
Yes. One of the main advantages of BIM is that quantities can be updated automatically when the model is modified.
Does this service include quotes or costs?
No. The service only includes the extraction and organization of quantities. Budgeting or cost analysis can be provided as a separate service.
What level of development (LOD) should the model have?
We recommend working with models LOD 300 or higher to obtain more accurate and reliable results.
