Abstract: A method and system for automatically creating and assigning assembly labor activities (ALAs) to a bill of materials (BOM) with a cloud SaaS service. ALA templates are automatically selected and populated for the BOM including labor activities, and other construction related activities, required to build a desired physical structure (e.g., building, etc.) and used to automatically create the ALAs associated with a particular BIM or set of BOM Items. A Critical Path Method (CPM)—Work Time Schedule (WTS) is automatically created. The CPM-WTS along with BOM information is used to automatically create a cost estimate report for building the desired physical structure created.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically creating Bills of Materials. A Building Information Model (BIM) electronic drawing is created on a 3D BIM program using Bill of Material standards. The BIM electronic drawing is exported, filtered and stored into a database with a cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) service on a cloud communications network The data is analyzed to produce in real-time a Bill of Materials accurate down to an individual piece level (e.g., stud, board, pipe, duct, etc.) for desired physical structures (e.g., houses, townhomes, multi-unit housing, etc.). The Bill of Materials includes a report produced in a standard and repeatable format, thereby reducing risk, reducing costs and ensuring a trackable level of quality for the builders of the desired physical structure and eliminating any need for estimating of any quantity, cost, installation time, installation cost or waste factor for any one of the plural physical components used to build the desired physical structure.
