This paper explores the use of BIM technology for concrete quantity estimation, ordering, and automated Global Warming Potential (GWP) calculation. A case study presents a Cemex Revit plug-in, tested and enhanced within the scope of the Horizon Europe Reincarnate project, enabling automated quantity take-off, order placement, and GWP value integration. The solution supports logistics, reduces waste, and prepares for future Whole Life Cycle reporting, addressing gaps in BIM software that overlook material estimation during construction.

Artykuł przedstawia zastosowanie technologii BIM do szacowania ilości, wspomagania procesu zamawiania betonu oraz automatycznego obliczania Współczynnika Globalnego Ocieplenia (GWP). Studium przypadku dotyczy wykorzystania wtyczki Cemex Revit, przetestowanej i ulepszonej w ramach projektu Horizon Europe Reincarnate. Wtyczka umożliwia automatyczne pobranie zestawienia materiałów, składanie zamówień i integrację wartości GWP. Rozwiązanie to wspiera logistykę, redukcję odpadów i przygotowuje do raportowania całkowitego śladu węglowego, uzupełniając oprogramowanie BIM o możliwość szacowania ilości materiałów w fazie budowy.
