BQ-FQ-01
: What is Build-Quant
?
Answer : Build-Quant
is a software developed by ENSOFT for
working out quantity Estimation of RCC Buildings from
CAD Drawings. It will read architectural
plan drawing to given quantities of Brickwork, Plaster,
Flooring, Skirting, etc. It will read RCC Drawing to
workout Concrete, Formwork and Reinforcement Steel quantities
with diameterwise breakup.
BQ-FQ-02
: How does Built-Quant
read Architectural Plan Drawing ?
Answer : The
original Architectural Plan prepaid in a CAD
package shall be saved in DXF file format. Wall lines
in Architectural Plan shall be drawn
with base LINE command. Length of line
in plan will be the length of the walls. Separate layers
are to be used for different types of walls. It will
calculate the quantities of each type of walls seperately
and print it in tabular form.
BQ-FQ-03
: Does Built-Quant
deduct Door/Window/Opening quantities ?
Answer : Yes.
Program wil read Door & Window marking text (D1,
D2 etc.) from the plan drawing. Their sizes are read
from Door/Window Schedule. It then deducts the Door/Window
areas from Wall/Plaster quantities.
BQ-FQ-04
: How does Built-Quant
read RCC Plan Drawing ?
Answer : The
original RCC Plan prepaid in a CAD
package shall be saved in DXF file format. Beam line
in RCC Plan shall be drawn in base
LINE command. Length of the line in
the plan wil be length of Beams. Beam marking Text (B1,
B2 etc.) is drawn near to these beam lines. Program
will calculate the concrete volume, formwork area, reinforcement
steel quantities.
BQ-FQ-05
: Does Built-Quant read
slab areas from Drawing ?
Answer : Yes.
Cross lines shall have been drawn in plan between slab
corners to mark the extent of slabs. Slab Spanning
and Slab Marking Text shall be drawn
near to the intersection of these cross lines. Program
will calculate slab clear areas, concrete volume and
slab reinforcement steel quantities.
BQ-FQ-06
: Does Built-Quant
workout quantities of reinforcement steel ?
Answer : Yes.
Dimensions of beams & slabs will be read from plan.
Reinforcement details such as no. of bars, diameters,
bar spacing, etc. will be read from RCC design schedule
drawings. It will then workout the length of the bars
and quantities with diameterwise breakup.
BQ-FQ-07
: Does Built-Quant
workout cost Estimate for the building ?
Answer : Yes.
It will first workout the total quantities of items
at all the levels. Using the items rates given by the
user, it will workout the total cost with floorwise
breakup.
BQ-FQ-08
: Which item
quantities are covered by Built-Quant ?
Answer :
It will workout the quantities of Brickwork, Plaster,
Flooring, Skirting, Door, Window, Concrete, Formwork
and Steel. The items for which the dimensions can be
read from plan drawings.
BQ-FQ-09
: How to calculate
quantities for the remaining items ?
Answer :
Built-Quant comes with formulator (NON-CAD)
module for working out quantities with manual data entry
without reading any CAD drawings. It
can work out the quantities of any type of Objects,
Staircases, Bridge Piers/Deck etc. Refer FAQ
