Piping take-off from the Navisworks model, not by hand.

Your MTO in Excel the same day, with every quantity taken from the model.

Metriq MTO is a web application that turns a Navisworks NWD model into a line-based piping material take-off in Excel, for piping estimators, quantity surveyors and contractors. NWD files from Plant 3D, Revit MEP and DWF piping models work, and a PDF report comes with the Excel.

£200 a month for the whole team, or £100 for one model, plus VAT or local tax. See pricing

Short film of a sample plant: pipe measured off the rack, a flange count with its source, a new revision showing only the changes, and the finished Excel.
Sample plant, synthetic numbers.

The next revision, in one line. You price what moved.

Rev B adds 12.4 m of pipe, two flanges and one valve. The rest of your price stands.

Two valves on a pipe rack. Revision B: 1,262.4 m of pipe, +12.4 m; flanges 482, +2; valves 121, +1.
Sample plant, synthetic numbers.

For estimators who get the model on Monday and owe a price on Friday.

Piping and mechanical contractors, fabricators and engineering firms, wherever the project is.

A carbon-steel weld-neck flange on a pipe, labelled Flange WN 4 inch, 58 each.

Numbers you can defend

Every quantity comes from objects in the model, and you can open them in 3D. When the client asks, you show them.

The sample MTO workbook: pipe, 90° bends, equal tees and weld-neck flanges by material code, sub type, size and quantity.

The Excel your client expects

A clean workbook and a PDF report to send with your price. On the monthly plan it follows your client’s template.

Bid the same day

The take-off is ready the day the model arrives, so your hours go into the price, not the count.

Revisions without starting over

When the next revision lands, you see what changed and price the difference.

Two ways to pay.

Monthly if you measure two or more models a month.

Single model for a one-off bid.

Sold to businesses, priced in GBP. Prices exclude sales tax and VAT; Paddle adds what your country requires at checkout. Paddle is our merchant of record and emails the invoice.

Before you start

What is Metriq MTO?

Metriq MTO is a web application that turns a Navisworks NWD model into a line-based piping material take-off in Excel, for piping estimators, quantity surveyors and contractors. A PDF report comes with it, to send with the bid.

Which models work?

NWD files exported from Plant 3D, Revit MEP and DWF piping models. Metric and imperial (US) models both work: sizes in DN or NPS, pipe in metres or feet. Not sure about yours? Send it before you buy and we will check it.

Which countries can buy?

Any of the 200-plus countries Paddle sells in, to businesses, priced in GBP. Prices exclude sales tax and VAT; Paddle adds what your country requires at checkout.

How large can a file be?

Up to 300 MB per NWD. Split larger federated models by discipline; each part counts as one model.

How do I check the numbers?

In Metriq you can open the model objects behind a row in the 3D view, so you can spot-check any line before you price. Every quantity comes from objects in the model.

How much does Metriq MTO cost?

£200 a month for the whole team, with unlimited users and 15 models a month, or £100 for a single model, plus VAT or local tax. Sold to businesses only. A UK company pays £240 a month, or £120 for a single model, including 20% VAT.

Does a new revision count as a model?

Yes. Every upload is one model, so rev B uses one of your 15 a month, or is a new single-model purchase. Running the same file again differs by plan: the monthly plan counts every run, while a single model pays for that one file, so re-running it when we improve the product is free (fair use).

Can the Excel follow my client’s template?

Yes, on the monthly plan. We set up your client’s MTO template in the first month, and every model after that follows it. A single model is measured with the standard template.

Can I cancel the monthly plan?

Yes, any month, from the billing portal. It ends when the period you paid for closes, never mid-month.

Can I get a refund on a single model?

Yes, in full if you write to us within 14 days of payment and the model has not been processed. Once it has been processed, the purchase is final. A free re-run of the same file when we improve the product is included (fair use); client templates come with the monthly plan.

How do I pay, and who issues the invoice?

By card. Paddle, our merchant of record, is the seller: it takes the payment, adds the tax due in your country, emails the invoice after every payment and keeps it in your billing portal. Add your company name and tax number at checkout and they appear on the invoice.

What if we need more than 15 models a month?

Going past a monthly limit (a 16th model, a 4th model over 150 MB, or one that takes the month past 5 GB) does not stop your work and carries no extra charge (fair use). If it happens regularly, we get in touch to agree a larger plan. For 25 models and 5 large ones every month, email us.
