BIM Quantity Takeoff Software

PriMus-IFC is the 5D BIM software for automatic and visual Quantity Take-off tasks using BIM models saved in the IFC format.

How boring can it be to have to deal with the same combination of repetitive measurement items and rules to account for certain construction work sections. In this sense, PriMus-IFC can definitely help you save time by automating a large amount of these quantity surveying tasks...

Discover the new revolutionary technology that can automatically identity the entity types in your 3D BIM model and guide you in creating the necessary measurement rules, in order to:

• obtain the automatic quantity takeoff of all the BIM entities used in the project
• have a visual control of the entities that are accounted for directly on the 3D model
• rely on a continuously updated quantity takeoff even when the model needs to be updated with changes
• create quantity takeoff templates and apply them to other BIM model projects too

IFC viewer

With PriMus-IFC you have a built-in IFC BIM Viewer to open and view IFC files of 3D virtual models from any BIM authoring software such as Edificius®, Revit®, ArchiCAD®, Allplan®, Tekla®, VectorWorks®, etc. You can also:

• load multiple IFC files in a single view, to simultaneously view all the design aspects in an integrated manner: architectural, structural, MEP designs, etc.
• navigate the 3D virtual model in a simple way thanks to the standard Zoom, Rotation and Pan functions.
• view the 3D model with different colours by type of element and define the transparency of the objects to also view the internal portions of a 3D model
• explode and decompose the BIM model by plane, both along the vertical axis and along the horizontal axis
• explore all IFC properties, including setting custom filters and selection groups
• view all the properties and information assigned to each element of the virtual 3D model such as volumes, areas, surfaces, distances, weights, etc.

Recognition classification of the project

PriMus-IFC allows you to identify, within the IFC file, the classifications composition with which the project was formely made (UniClass 2015, OmniClass, MasterFormat, etc.). In this way all the information is cataloged and managed, and therefore is easily available.
A classification is a set of information (cataloged and managed) aimed at identifying specific activities and work processes; this information, shared among all the operators in the sector of competence, allows to uniquely identify a specific entity.
With PriMus-IFC, and the function of recognizing and displaying the classifications associated with the entities of the IFC project, it becomes even easier to identify the entities to be accounted for in the quantity takeoff.

Structured breakdown of the quantity takeoff (WBS - Work Break down Structure)

During the definition of the measurement rules, PriMus-IFC allows you to define WBS structures with an unlimited number of levels.

Once the project structure has been "broken down" to the desired level, you can assign individual voices or blocks of measurement entries to the WBS structure.

Export of the quantity takeoff in standard formats

PriMus-IFC saves the quantity takeoff in the PriMus standard DCF format and exports to the Word DOCX file format and Excel XLSX file format. In this way, you can share the quantity takeoff with whoever you want, without any sort of compatibility problems. You can also save the BIM model with the quantity takeoff integrated in the DIFC format.

Integration with PriMus

The integration of PriMus-IFC with PriMus allows to integrate and complete the metric quantity takeoff or with information not present in the BIM Model.

You can immediately export the quantity takeoff in PriMus and work all the advanced functions of the software, make further integrations, print elaborates.
