RIB 2D/3D Takeoff, a product of RIB Software, is a comprehensive software solution designed to simplify the construction process. This software is specifically developed to extract quantities, measurements, and specifications from 2D and 3D design models or drawings.

Unlike traditional 2D/3D approaches, RIB 2D/3D Takeoff employs a model-based Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach. This allows for quickly and precisely extracting quantities, dimensions, and specifications from CAD models.

The software plays a pivotal role in the estimating stage of a project. This involves assessing and quantifying all costs associated with a project’s design, materials, labor, equipment, and overhead expenses.

RIB 2D/3D Takeoff is part of a larger suite of products offered by RIB Software. Each product in this suite is designed to cater to different stages of a project in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

One of the standout features of RIB 2D/3D Takeoff is its integrated calculation functions. These ensure the precise optimization of quantities and costs, both in alphanumeric and model-based forms. This takes into account not only project-specific factors like material costs, labor costs, equipment costs, overhead, and the schedule but also cross-project aspects like resource availability, risk criteria, and potential rework in the calculation.

The software is equipped with business intelligence functionality. This supports contractors, developers, and owners to interact with enormous amounts of data. This allows them to maximize cost efficiency and manage records across the asset lifecycle.

RIB 2D/3D Takeoff also allows for the generation of multiple performance specifications per project with varying structural layouts of object numbers. It supports flexible organizational structures through calculation items and performs line-based calculations with a hierarchical resource structure.
