Does Revit® calculate accurate volumes for concrete elements?

RSS FeedGetting current (up to date) costs of parts and pieces from a manufacturer is one thing, but does Revit® calculate accurate volumes for concrete elements along with the surface areas for concrete forms? How about steel structural elements? Are there any libraries for Revit that can give material and installation costs for these?

Mark Mergenschroer, BIM Development Coordinator, TME, Inc.: Revit can do take off and build you a schedule of material IF the model is built correctly. Have you seen Reed Construction Data’s QTO (Quantity Take Off) program? It is linked live to RS Means. I think this might be exactly what you are looking for.
