Bill of Quantities (BoQ) Using Revit

Day 1 – Introduction to BIM & BoQ Concepts

·       Fundamentals of BIM and its role in Quantity Surveying

·       Revit environment overview (interface, families, elements)

·       Linking drawings, specifications, and quantities in BIM

·       Advantages of using Revit for BoQ over traditional methods

Day 2 – Modeling for QuantitiesTaking-off techniques

·       Best practices for accurate modeling to support BoQ extraction

·       Creating walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows, and other building elements

·       Understanding element parameters relevant to quantities

·       Setting up project standards for measurement

Day 3 – Quantity Take-off in Revit

·       Creating schedules and material take-offs

·       Extracting quantities for architectural, structural, and MEP elements

·       Customizing schedules to match BoQ formats (SMM, CESMM, POMI, NRM)

·       Live practice: generating a simple BoQ from a model

Day 4 – Advanced BoQ & Integration

·       Applying filters, formulas, and grouping in Revit schedules

·       Exporting BoQ to Excel and integrating with cost estimation software

·       Adjusting quantities for variations and changes in design

·       Managing large projects with multiple models (linked models)

Day 5 – Practical Workshop & Case Study

·       End-to-end workflow: From Revit model → Quantity Take-off → BoQ

·       Case study: Preparing and pricing BoQ for a sample project

·       Best practices for collaboration between BIM teams and QS teams

·       Final project presentation & review
