Bill of Materials

The Bill of Materials table shows the total amount of all building materials resulting from the construction of the project building in either imperial or SI (metric) units.

Starting with v5.0 (July 2014), the Bill of Materials Table shows the amount of each building material by assembly group, as well as the total amount and the mass of each building material

Note:

The Bill of Materials will include all materials in the life cycle, including construction waste factor and replacements.

 

Columns:
