Generate Interactive Quantity Reports from Revit & IFC to HTML

This n8n workflow transforms Revit and IFC project files into professional, interactive HTML quantity takeoff (QTO) reports. It automates the extraction of wall quantities, categorizing by 'Type Name', computing total and average volumes, and providing detailed breakdowns alongside summary statistics like total elements. Ideal for construction professionals needing quick, shareable quantity insights without manual Excel processing.

Key benefits include time savings on repetitive QTO tasks, offline operation with no API keys required, and ready-to-deploy HTML outputs that feature interactive elements for easy data exploration. The workflow handles complex BIM data seamlessly, ensuring accuracy in volume calculations and type-based groupings, which enhances project bidding, cost estimation, and progress tracking.

Use cases span AEC industries: generate reports for tender submissions, site quantity verifications, or client presentations from Revit models. It supports both native Revit files and open IFC formats, promoting interoperability. Authored by DataDrivenConstruction.io, it's customizable for broader CAD/BIM pipelines, with GitHub docs for extensions like validation or ETL integrations.

Run it via manual trigger by uploading files, and receive polished, standalone HTML dashboards perfect for teams without specialized software.
