Comparative analysis of quantity take-off in concrete, steel bars and formwork in apartment buildings based on CAD and BIM methodologies

[EN] Building Information Modeling (BIM) prepares the quantity take-off (QTO) of the construction elements, helping in the management of the design and construction process and preparing the 3D visualization of the construction phases. BIM increases efficiency and gives users more control over const...
