Revit to ERP Integration for Costing, Procurement and Fabrication
Connect Revit models with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo or your estimating and procurement systems, so quantities, product codes and fabrication data flow from the model to the business without manual take-offs.
From BIM model to purchase order
Contractors, fabricators and building product manufacturers use Revit models to decide what to buy and build. MEP contractors need pipe, duct and fitting quantities; precast and steel fabricators need piece lists; façade and joinery companies need panel schedules; manufacturers need to turn specified products into quotations and orders. Re-keying this data from schedules into an ERP is slow and risky.
ENGIMANDI builds integrations that extract quantities and product data from Revit, map family types to ERP item codes, group quantities by level, zone or phase, and send them to ERP, estimating or procurement systems. Prices, lead times or stock can be pulled back into Revit to support design decisions. For models in Autodesk Construction Cloud, data can be extracted in the cloud without opening Revit.

Revit ERP integration features
Model data where the business needs it.
Quantity Take-off
Lengths, areas, volumes and counts per type, calculated consistently from the model.
Item Mapping
Revit types mapped to ERP item codes with validation for unmapped items.
Estimating
Quantities sent to cost estimating systems in the structure your estimators use.
Procurement
Material requisitions by delivery phase or zone generated from the model.
Change Tracking
Quantity differences between model issues highlighted for variations and re-orders.
Fabrication Data
Piece lists and spool data prepared for fabrication and production planning.
Integration stack
Revit, cloud and ERP APIs.
Typical projects
- MEP pipe and fitting quantities sent to procurement
- Façade panel schedule transferred to production ERP
- Building product quotes generated from specified families
- Cost estimate refresh after each model issue
- Precast piece list for production scheduling
- Stock availability shown for specified products

Revit ERP integration questions
Are Revit quantities accurate enough for purchasing?
They are as accurate as the model. We add checks and clear rules for how quantities are calculated, and flag elements that need attention.
What if our families do not have item codes?
We add mapping tables or parameters so each family type links to an ERP item, and report anything unmapped.
Can data be taken from ACC models?
Yes. Using Autodesk Platform Services, quantities and properties can be read from cloud models.
Which systems can receive the data?
ERP, estimating, procurement or production systems with an API, import format or database interface.
Can it compare revisions?
Yes. Quantity changes between issues are listed for variations and re-orders.
