Problem
Construction projects often struggle with inefficient quantity takeoff processes, requiring teams to manually extract data from 2D drawings and 3D BIM models using disparate software tools. This leads to errors, delays, and version control issues as design changes are not automatically reflected in quantity calculations.
Solution
Sparkel is a web-based Common Data Environment (CDE) that consolidates 2D and 3D BIM quantities, providing construction companies with a centralized platform for efficient data extraction and visualization. The platform supports both IFC/RVT models and PDF drawings, eliminating the need for separate tools. Sparkel automatically updates quantities whenever the design is modified, ensuring that teams always have access to the most current information for accurate project planning, cost estimation, and collaboration. Users can easily draw, measure, and calculate quantities directly within their browser, without requiring specialized training.
Target Audience
Sparkel is designed for construction companies, estimators, project managers, and BIM specialists who need to efficiently extract, visualize, and manage quantities from 2D drawings and 3D models.
