DUVON Labs
Where computation meets construction
We don’t just use tools — we build them. DUVON Labs is our innovation arm, where we develop custom plugins, scripts, and systems to bring performance and precision into every project.
Volume-Based Cost Estimator Plugin for Revit
At DUVON, we develop custom Revit plugins that bridge the gap between intelligent modeling and real-world project management. Our Volume-Based Cost Estimator plugin is a powerful tool designed to streamline early-stage quantity takeoffs and budget estimation directly within the BIM environment.
This plugin automatically retrieves the volume of elements (e.g., walls, slabs, foundations) and multiplies it with a user-defined Cost parameter, generating a live material cost estimate per element. Ideal for feasibility studies, value engineering, and early-phase costing, it enables design teams to make informed decisions before tendering or constructio
Benefits:
Eliminates manual takeoffs and spreadsheet errors.
Enhances accuracy of early-stage budgeting.
Empowers architects, engineers, and developers with fast, actionable cost feedback.
At DUVON, we believe in design intelligence — tools that make your BIM workflow smarter, not heavier.
