What it does

Material Takeoff gathers walls, floors, ceilings, and finishes from an active Revit model and matches their materials with the RSMeans 2025 construction cost database. It creates a formatted Bill of Materials with material quantities and costs, including room-level views and filters for selected or linked models. The interface supports markup and overhead percentages, model-element highlighting, and savings-threshold flags. Snapshot comparisons track cost changes between two model states, with results exportable to PDF or CSV.
