CXD: Construction eXchange Data.

**00:00:00.800** Here is how SnapCOST reviews a fit-out project for a shopping mall’s seventh-floor office zone.

**00:00:07.285** Floors, walls, glass partitions, ceilings, building services and furniture extracted from drawings build up room by room to complete the 3D model.

**00:00:18.758** Every element links to one of 19 space codes in the tree on the left, keeping the model and bill of quantities (BOQ) aligned.

**00:00:28.247** Inside Office Area 1, you can review workstations, the modular ceiling and lighting layout at eye level.

**00:00:37.653** The key plan at the upper left shows the camera’s position on the drawing and its viewing direction.

**00:00:45.597** The overview shows how offices, meeting rooms and support spaces fit together.

**00:00:52.636** The full-floor rendering reflects the same seventh-floor layout.

**00:00:57.284** The low-partition workstation layout shown here in the 3D view of Office Area 1

**00:01:02.613** also appears in its rendering when you select the same space code in the CG tab.

**00:01:08.909** The large meeting room model includes timber louvers, a long meeting table and glass partitions.

**00:01:16.078** Its rendering shows the same finishes and furniture arrangement.

**00:01:21.048** Select the space code for a small meeting room or the pantry to open its rendering.

**00:01:26.698** For the north corridor, compare the 3D view and corridor rendering side by side to review the finishes.

**00:01:33.389** Now select individual elements to check the basis for their quantities.

**00:01:37.564** Select a low-partition post to see its properties and CXD connection status in the right panel.

**00:01:45.154** Click a glass-wall face to calculate its area of 2.4984 m² and perimeter of 7,198 mm.

**00:01:54.054** Hold Shift and add the adjacent face: the totals become 4.9476 m² and 14,360 mm in perimeter.

**00:02:03.904** Wall sections work the same way. Selecting several sections adds their areas and perimeters, here totaling 17.4744 m².

**00:02:14.806** The floor of Office Area 1 is selected as one face, showing an area of 247.9898 m² and its perimeter.

**00:02:24.881** The interior-finish quantity takeoff organizes these quantities by finish material and room, with supporting calculations.

**00:02:32.051** Export the project’s 252 items for the current scope as PDF or Excel, or as a draft purchase-order Excel file.

**00:02:40.818** In the BOQ tab, Office Area 1 has 33 line items grouped by trade, totaling KRW 52,728,342.

**00:02:51.249** Each line includes material, labor and expense unit rates, calculation details and CXD links.

**00:02:59.337** Use the export menu for quantity takeoff sheets and the selected space’s BOQ in PDF, Excel or CSV.

**00:03:07.317** Export the full cost estimate as one file, including its cover, summary, cost calculation, room totals and unit-rate analyses.

**00:03:17.859** The Deliverables tab creates six project-wide documents: design proposal, design drawings, BOQ, quantity takeoff, work specification and finish schedule.

**00:03:31.008** The cost calculation builds up materials, labor and expenses item by item using applicable rates, showing formulas and amounts.

**00:03:39.730** Hiding walls during review leaves quantities and costs unchanged. Use Restore View to bring them back.

**00:03:49.217** The Specs tab lists the finish materials for Office Area 1, with specifications, unit prices and material images.

**00:03:57.219** Furniture and lighting fixtures are listed by item in the same table.

**00:04:01.500** The Custom Furniture tab breaks down KRW 6,749,627 in joinery costs into materials, fabrication, delivery and installation, and profit.

**00:04:13.442** Select pantry joinery or office storage in 3D to open elevations, plans, sections, dimensions and quantities in one panel.

**00:04:24.629** For design-change reviews, selecting a ceiling element shows service-change impacts and the linked information required.

**00:04:32.294** Enter a proposal to raise the ceiling by 200 mm, from 2,700 to 2,900 mm.

**00:04:39.939** Select Office Area 1’s one-way cassette AC unit: one ceiling-panel overlap is found. Ceiling height stays on hold pending piping information.

**00:04:51.437** The four-way cassette is reviewed in the same way. Costs remain unconfirmed without supporting information.

**00:04:59.577** The CXD element-change review groups equipment relocation with items in the same room, estimating a partial scope at KRW 4,186,600 including VAT.

**00:05:11.523** Value-engineering (VE) options use separate branches for comparison, preserving the baseline and keeping confirmed BOQ data separate.

**00:05:21.019** SnapCOST links drawings, 3D models, quantities, the BOQ and deliverables through shared space codes for a connected review workflow.

**00:05:31.202** That concludes this SnapCOST demonstration. Thank you.
