Beam Concrete Calculation & Template Setup in PlanSwift | Day 8

In Day 8 of our complete PlanSwift Quantity Takeoff series, learn how to calculate beam concrete quantity accurately and build custom templates for fast estimation! We walk through reading structural beam schedules (depth and width variations like 700x300mm and 700x230mm), setting up custom properties (Width, Depth, and Linear Length to Volume in m³), and taking off primary and secondary beams directly from architectural/structural plans. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction & Beam Concrete Overview 00:44 - How to Read Beam Schedule & Dimensions (Width & Depth) 01:32 - Quick Calculation Using Existing PlanSwift Template 03:15 - How to Create a Custom Beam Template from Scratch 04:00 - Adding Custom Properties (Depth 'D' & Width 'W') 05:15 - Building the Concrete Volume Formula (L × W × D = m³) 06:45 - Form Layout Setup & Unit Configuration (mm to m³) 07:05 - Testing the Custom Formula on Primary Beams (B1) 08:00 - Secondary Beam Takeoff (230mm & 150mm Widths) 11:00 - Summary, Legends & Final Concrete Quantity Takeoff 📌 Tools & Topics Covered: PlanSwift Segment & Template Tools Beam Schedule Analysis for Site & Estimation Engineers Custom Formulas and Property Data in PlanSwift RCC Beam Concrete Volume Takeoff (m³) 🔔 Subscribe to Civil Tech AI for daily civil engineering tutorials, automation, and AI workflows: Work Smart, Build Better! #CivilEngineering #PlanSwift #QuantityTakeoff #Estimation #CivilTechAI #ConcreteCalculation #SiteEngineer
