Are you finding precast estimation a demanding task?
Imagine offloading the time-consuming aspects of this process, freeing you to focus on more critical activities. At Tek1 Pty Ltd, we excel in providing fast and accurate takeoffs for precast projects, often at a fraction of the cost you might expect. You can rely on our expertise and extensive experience to deliver exceptional results.
Our process begins with your structural and architectural PDFs. Utilizing the panel spliting details from the structural precast elevations, we proceed with a detailed analysis.
We meticulously number all panels, assigning crucial data such as thickness, material, and panel type. This intelligent data within our takeoff model allows for comprehensive report generation later in the process.
The panel type information also captures reinforcement details, including rebar weights, perimeter bars, and any additional mesh. For panels requiring patterned or special moulds, including brick snap panels, we identify and mark them accordingly, even specifying the number of special moulds needed.
Our summary report provides a comprehensive overview, including:
- Number of panels
- Thickness summary
- Gross and net area calculations
- Concrete volume
- Panel weight (concrete + reo)
- Number of meshes and reo weight (excluding ligatures)
- Perimeter bar weight
- Caulking and grout lengths
- Panel types and strengths
- Concrete mix and any colored concrete specifications
- Quantities of Bricsnap, Reckli, and Feature panels
- Number of moulds required
- Maximum panel size and its corresponding number
- IFC model compatibility with Trimble or Autodesk
- A QR code linking directly to the model for easy viewing
- Thickness summary
Furthermore, we proactively identify any potential for optimization or issues related to buildability and transportation, providing comments along with the relevant panel mark numbers.
If you believe our services can bring significant value and allow you to concentrate on higher-priority tasks, please don’t hesitate to call or email us.
