  Introduction Building Information Modeling (BIM) , particularly through platforms like  Revit , has dramatically altered the landscape of construction management and architectural planning. For professionals, understanding how to extract a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) from these models is essential. However, this process can be intricate. Here's a comprehensive dive into structuring Revit models, challenges encountered, and best practices. Building Information Modeling (BIM) Structuring the Revit Model for Accurate Quantity Extraction Architectural Elements Walls:  An architectural marvel begins with a foundation and walls. Properly layered walls in Revit mirror actual construction scenarios. For instance, when designing a house, walls constructed of brick with plaster on both sides should have each layer clearly defined. Missteps here could lead to erroneous material estimation, impacting cost projections. Doors & Windows:  Diversity is key. Different structures h...
