Geographic Information Systems Based Quantity Takeoffs in Buildings Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paper presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based quantity takeoffs methodology, which is helpful in increasing the productivity of quantity estimator by reducing the manual work in quantity takeoffs. Proposed methodology also reduces the missing or duplication of various items of work by visualizing each components corresponding to the items in space. Several scripts developed within ArcView3.2 were used to extract the necessary dimensions from the drawings and to perform various calculations for quantity takeoffs. Accurate Bill of Quantities (BOQ) may be generated on the basis of dimensions of various data themes in GIS.

متن کاملParametric modelling based approach for efficient quantity takeoff of NATM-Tunnels
Purpose As every construction project is quite different according to the type of construction, 3D-representations on design, estimation, construction, and management also need to be different. While the 3D-approach has been widely applied to building projects, it has rarely been tested on large construction projects such as tunnels, mass transit systems, dams, highways, etc. Meanwhile, charact...

Suitability evaluation of urban construction land based on geo-environmental factors is the process of determining the fitness of a given tract of land for construction. This process involves a consideration of the geomorphology, geology, engineering geology, geological hazards, and other geological factors and is the basis of urban construction land planning and management. With the support of...
متن کاملGeneralization of 3D IFC Building Models
Today, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is mainly used in architecture. Typically, a BIM model contains detailed geometric and semantic information for design evaluation, simulation, and construction of the building. If, as on the regional and city levels, more than one building is considered, the information content of detailed BIM models might be too high. For applications like noise simul...
