About Data Preparation

What you need to prepare before using Small BIM PRO: file structure, parameters, and data standards.

Objective
For cost estimation with Revit, you need to assign data to every model element so the model is ready for quantity takeoff and cost calculation via Small BIM PRO.
Getting-Started Checklist
  • Use the latest RSB_PROFESSIONAL Template from Small BIM Studio
  • Download/bind the required Shared Parameters (understand how Shared Parameters work)
  • Assign Keynote / work-category codes for consistent cost-code referencing across the organization
  • Connect the price database or set the price-file location; prices can be updated online or offline
