Abstract

Since construction projects are large and complex, it is important to provide concurrent construction process to BIM models with construction automation. The Quantity Take-Off (QTO) estimation on the BIM models is a strategy, which can be used to support decision making, because 70–80% of construction costs are determined by designer’s decisions in design stage itself. For this Master’s thesis focus is on Quantity Take-off (QTO) processes applied during bidding stage of construction projects in India and use of BIM in material quantity extraction during the planning stage. It has been decided to make an overview of existing bidding practice in Anganwadi (Courtyard Shelter), to identify problems in preparation of bid material quantity, and to determine the situation of BIM technology and related issues with it in bidding process. Based on this information some suggestions on how this existing bidding process could be improved using BIM tools will be provided.
