<strong>RLB</strong> is part of the RICS BIM working group<br />

<strong>RLB</strong> can now offer direct take off from BIM models, for<br />

production of Bills of Quantities or cost plans.<br />

We have also developed a capability to work within the<br />

model, as an intelligent editor, adding data to enable<br />

the model to be used for production of quantities,<br />

calculating embedded carbon and life cycle costs.<br />

The built in Uniformat Code has been rewritten as a<br />

<strong>UK</strong> equivalent based on a NRM/NBS format so that<br />

Revit items can be coded. The program then attaches<br />

the additional attributes and capital costs. This system<br />

could also be used to translate into other languages.<br />
