Reed Construction Data has announced that two of its leading BIM products, SmartBIM Library (SBL) v3.5 and SmartBIM QTO 1.0 are now compatible with Revit 2010 from Autodesk®.

SmartBIM Library is the leading BIM content management tool for architects and engineers. SmartBIM QTO 1.0, is a new time- and cost-saving BIM tool that instantly provides a quantity takeoff and early cost estimate on a project using RSMeans industry-leading cost data.

The speed and automation of SmartBIM QTO allows architects and designers to check or refine costs for a project as they go, eliminating expensive and time-consuming efforts to redesign projects to meet budget demands. As a project changes, architects also have the freedom to run estimates for multiple design options to facilitate “what-if” scenarios. After an estimate is created, any line item can by edited manually allowing users to input their own costs or further refine the estimate using the RSMeans CostWorks® database.

SmartBIM Library Version 3.5 comes pre-loaded with over 22,950 high-quality Revit product types, including new MEP families. SmartBIM Library will also publish content on a continual basis from a growing list of building product manufacturers. Additional key developments to SBL v3.5 include improved installation support and enhancements to Reed’s content publishing feature for large catalogs.
