With Dextall Studio’s Optimization Features, you can analyze your Revit model as you work on the design. The earlier you use optimization techniques, the more impact you can have on the overall cost and time savings. Use the optimization tools throughout the design process to refine the building design and make decisions about cost savings, reducing carbon footprint , as well as site Waste reduction.
Dextall Studio’s automated optimization tools, take the following considerations into account; Façade and panel sizes, Building height, Thickness & Cladding depths, panel & window configurations, Architectural style, Materials, Transportation accessibility and waste reduction methods.
Automated generation of BOM for each system, at every design stage
COMING SOON/AVAILABLE VIA REQUEST
Automated generation of BOM for each system, at every design stage
Dextall currently provides our clients with BOM (Bill of Materials) along with all of our additional services provided to architects and GCs that work with us. Our BOM documents are structured lists identifying all materials and components required to construct a product.
The BOM is the most critical communication piece in getting something manufactured, especially for prefab systems. This BOM document is guaranteed a very high level of accuracy due to the automatic generation algorithms that we use when specifying our product parts.
Dextall Studio is incorporating the same technology within a user-friendly web-based interface available for architects and accessible from any device, and as a part of a comprehensive technology infrastructure that provides seamless and direct communication among the architect, GCs, Manufacturing partners.
Other benefits of the automatic generation of BOM from Dextall Studio are:
- Providing estimate costs and minimizing production delays and waste.
- Helps identify the cause of a product failure during construction or Maintenance phase and work quickly to replace the faulty parts, materials and components.

Ability to get cost estimates for each or entire Wall & Window systems
Ability to get cost estimates for each or entire Wall & Window systems
Due to the huge impact of cost estimates in the construction process, one of Dextall Studio’s most important goals is to bridge the gap between the design process and construction feasibility.
We are currently developing a fully robust automated cost estimating tools to provide the architects with >90% accurate cost estimates.
Many factors impact the cost estimation process, which we are considering within our tools, including: type of materials & cladding, labor cost (local rates), complexity of the building, location of site, and existing building & site condition (which is highly accurate due to our accurate LIDAR technology systems incorporated in Dextall Studio).

BIM digital content is developed to the AEC industry standards at various stages of the design process
BIM DIGITAL CONTENT IS DEVELOPED TO THE AEC INDUSTRY STANDARDS AT VARIOUS STAGES OF THE DESIGN PROCESS.
The Level of Development (LOD) is a reference to specify with a high level of clarity the content and reliability of (BIMs) at various stages in the design and construction process. The LOD Specification utilizes the basic LOD definitions developed by the AIA for the AIA G202-2013 Building Information Modeling Protocol. It defines and illustrates characteristics of model elements of different building systems at different Levels of Development. This clear articulation allows model authors to define what their models can be relied on for, and allows downstream users to clearly understand the usability and the limitations of models they are receiving” – as described on BIMForum website.
Within this context, Dextall Studio has built all of its digital content to the highest level of detail, allowing the utilization of Revit’s LOD parameters to control the visibility of various objects within 3 categories (High, Medium, Fine) depending on the visibility settings of each view within Revit.
Utilizing Dextall Studio’s BIM content results in the following benefits:
- To help teams, including owners, to specify BIM deliverables and to get a clear picture of what will be included in a BIM document deliverable
- To help design managers explain to their teams the information and detail that needs to be provided at various points in the design process
- To provide a standard that can be referenced by contracts and BIM execution plans
