SmartBIM QTO from Reed Construction Data is a cost-effective solution for Autodesk® Revit® users that provides early cost estimation for Revit projects, powered by RSMeans. We are offering a free trial version of SmartBIM QTO, and you can get your copy by filling in the form below.

With SmartBIM QTO, the user can:

• Instantly create a Takeoff of Revit elements, counts and measures and retrieve cost estimation with the press of a button
• Run multiple estimates for design options and alternatives as the design changes to facilitate “what-if” scenarios
• Manually edit cost and add lines to cost estimation to increase accuracy
• Export data to Excel and PDF by full building, or specific Revit categories
• Enable manufacturers, architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners to easily collaborate on costing early in the project
• Non Revit users can open and edit Takeoff files

POWERED BY RSMEANS
RSMeans is the #1 trusted name for cost in the industry. SmartBIM QTO utilizes the power of RSMeans cost data to provide early cost estimation based upon input from Revit model and cost averaging from RSMeans.

SIMPLE AND FAST
Launch SmartBIM QTO and automatically extract the Revit elements from your project with accurate counts and measures. Click a single button for an instant cost estimate.

EXTRACT DATA FOR COLLABORATION
SmartBIM QTO data can be saved to Excel or PDF format for collaboration on project costs. Extract all elements or specific categories. Takeoff file can be saved to QTO Format. Users can open and edit SmartBIM QTO Takeoff files without Revit to elaborate and refine Takeoff initially generated from the BIM model.

EDIT CAPABILITY FOR ACCURACY
SmartBIM QTO allows for manual editing of any line item for increased accuracy. Users can input their own costs, or edit for further refinements from the CostWorks database. In addition, users can also add additional lines to the estimate for refinement and increased accuracy.

BEST PRACTICES & HELP IN ORGANIZING DATA
SmartBIM QTO’s interface includes guidelines describing best practices for modeling objects in Revit. These guidelines include modeling advice for each Revit category, recommended family and type name conventions, tips on modeling for ‘count ability’ and design representation.
