In this video tutorial, I will introduce you to quantity take-off in ArchiCAD 24. We’ll open an existing project and extract wall quantities from Graphisoft ArchiCAD’s interactive schedules, then save the schedule information as an Excel spreadsheet file.
From there, we will open to edit the Excel data, apply some formulas and costing data from Quantity Surveying Cost Handbooks and come up with the estimated cost of constructing that wall.
