QUANTITY REPORTING · Workflow idea
For an approved building model, extract wall types and volumes and prepare an interactive HTML report with totals, averages, and element breakdowns. Model content and quantities can be commercially sensitive, so keep files and reports in approved storage. Check units, model revision, included elements, and sample calculations; the report is an analysis aid, not a certified takeoff, and a qualified project reviewer should approve it before estimating or procurement.
01 / The starting point
A permitted project model and an approved local processing environment
“Prepare a clear quantity report without treating extracted figures as a certified estimate.”
02 / The work
Helps a project team review wall quantities and breakdowns from a building model.
Check the project owner, intended use, and version being measured.
Confirm included wall elements, volume units, and any model exclusions.
Show totals and wall-type detail with a clear link to the source revision.
Compare selected elements and totals with the model and project expectations.
Have a qualified project reviewer confirm the figures and recipient access.
03 / The result
An interactive HTML report with wall-type volumes, totals, averages, and source context.
Reports & insights · Example outcome
An interactive HTML report with wall-type volumes, totals, averages, and source context.
Incorrect units, incomplete models, or unexpected element classifications can affect quantities. Verify the source revision and sample calculations, keep the report access-controlled, and require a qualified person to confirm figures before commercial use.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Limit processing to project files the team may analyze.
Make included elements, exclusions, and calculation assumptions explicit.
Protect commercially sensitive design and quantity information.
Require review before numbers inform bids, budgets, or procurement.
