Your part list still starts with retyping the model by hand.

Every project, someone copies elements from the BIM model into Excel, row by row. A revision lands and the list is out of date before anyone notices. One missed item becomes a back-order, and the site stands still until it arrives. Generate part lists straight from the model instead, and the manual copying stops.

Retyped by hand, out of date by the next revision

Prefab production runs on the part list: what goes into which batch, what gets ordered, what gets checked off at the shop floor. Today that list gets rebuilt by hand for every project, and drifts out of sync the moment the model changes. Construction failure costs run 5 to 15% of revenue against margins of 2 to 3%, and a forgotten line item is exactly the kind of gap that produces them.

Elements get retyped into Excel one by one, project after project.
A model revision means redoing the list, or trusting someone caught every change.
One forgotten item turns into a back-order, and the site waits for it.

How Koto generates your part lists

Connect your model

Koto reads the BIM model you already have: IFC (the open standard), Vertex BD native, or Revit through IFC. No new modelling habits, no extra software on the drafting side.

Configure the pipeline once

Set the grouping rules once: per element, per production batch, per category, the way your shop floor already works. Configure once, then it runs automatically on every project.

Generate the list per project

Open a new project, run the pipeline, and the part list builds itself from the model. No manual retyping, no copying between sheets.

Export in your own format

Get the list as Excel or CSV in your own column layout, or push it straight into Odoo. The columns match what your team already uses.

Part list, material list or order list?

A part list shows every piece separately: per element or per production batch, ready to check off on the shop floor during production.

A material list or order list aggregates those same pieces into quantities to order. Koto generates all of them from the same model, using the same rules, so they never drift apart.

See it on your own model

Koto runs live at construction companies today. In a demo we take your own model, run it through a pipeline and you watch your own part lists come out. Real output, not slides.

Works with what you already have

Koto reads the model you already build. No new CAD, no new ERP, no lock-in.

Output in your own column formats. Your data stays yours: switch CAD or ERP, and your Koto pipelines keep working.

Part list questions from production teams

Yes. The grouping rule is part of the pipeline configuration: per element, per batch, per category, or a combination. You set it once and it applies to every project after that.

Run the pipeline again on the updated model and the part list regenerates with the changes. You are not hunting by eye for what moved.

Vertex BD natively, and any package that exports IFC, including Revit. IFC is an open standard, so you are not locked into one modelling tool.

You configure the pipeline once per company: the grouping rules, the categories, the column format. After that it runs automatically on every project without repeating the setup.

A part list shows every piece separately, per element or per production batch, ready for the shop floor. A material list, or order list, aggregates those same pieces into quantities to order. Koto generates both from the same model, using the same rules.
