Revit quantity takeoff plugin

Revit will already give you a schedule. The problem is what happens next. The schedule goes to Excel, gets rearranged into bill order, gets priced against a rate list held somewhere else, and becomes a document with no connection to the model it came from.

Then the design changes, as it does. Now there is a new schedule and an old bill, and reconciling them is manual. Most teams handle this by rebuilding the bill, which is slow, or by patching it, which is where the errors get in. Either way the model has stopped being the source of truth for cost.

QUIV keeps that link. The quantities stay associated with the elements they came from, so a revised model produces a revised bill rather than a reconciliation exercise.

QUIV installs into Revit and runs against the open model. It extracts quantities for architectural and structural elements and organises them into schedules structured for measurement rather than for drawing annotation.

From there the quantities feed RateGen, which builds the rates. Rate build-ups run on material, labour and plant costs you control, aligned to BESMM4R. Change a material price once and every rate using it updates, and so does every bill line priced from those rates.

Projects sync to your ADLM account, so the same model and the same bill are available on any machine you sign in from. Bills, programmes and project dashboards read from that shared data rather than from separate copies.

QUIV covers architectural and structural quantities. Building services are a different plugin: the Revit MEP plugin produces MEP-focused takeoffs and schedules, and infrastructure work in Civil 3D is covered by CIVIQ.

It also cannot measure what has not been modelled. A model with unclassified elements or missing parameters will produce gaps, and those gaps are visible rather than silent. Finding them at takeoff is the point, but it does mean the model has to be in reasonable shape.

If your projects are not modelled at all, HERON does 2D takeoff from PDFs and CAD drawings and feeds the same rate engine.

QUIV runs on Windows, inside Revit. Licensing is per user and tied to your ADLM account. After payment, sign in to the ADLM Installer Hub with the same account and the plugin appears ready to install. There is no licence key to copy and no activation email to wait for.

Subscriptions are priced in naira and can be paid monthly or for a longer term at a lower monthly cost. Auto-renew is an opt-in checkbox at checkout, not a default. If a subscription ends the plugin stops activating, but your projects, bills and exports stay in your account and on your machine.

Current pricing is on the QUIV product page, and the quotation builder will price it for a specific number of users alongside anything else you need.
