Why DOTs and Contractors Are Moving from Manual Take-Off to BIM in Roadway Projects
Why do so many roadway projects still face delays, cost overruns, and endless rework? For many DOTs and contractors, the answer lies in outdated quantity take-off methods. Manual spreadsheets, fragmented data, and guesswork in cost estimation make it nearly impossible to deliver projects with confidence. That’s where BIM-based Quantity Take-Off (QTO) makes a big difference. Instead of wasting hours double-checking numbers, teams get: quick and accurate cost estimates, minimize rework and avoid budget overruns, and clearer communication between DOTs, contractors, and stakeholders.
