Why Room Finishes exists
A finishes take-off is arithmetic that nobody wants to do twice. Floor area per room is easy. Wall finish area means walking the boundary of every room, subtracting the doors, and remembering that one wall is shared with the corridor. Skirting means the perimeter, minus the door openings, per room. Do it by hand for a school and you will be doing it again after the next layout change.
How Room Finishes works
Run it and the whole project is scanned - every placed room, its floor, its ceiling, and each segment of its boundary.
For each room you get floor area and material, wall area and material broken down per boundary segment, ceiling area and material, perimeter, and skirting length with door openings already deducted.
QA colour-coding flags rooms where something is missing or only partly resolved, so incomplete data is visible rather than silently counted as zero.
Filter by level, material or QA status, sort, and search to work through it.
Export to Excel and you get an all-rooms sheet plus per-room sheets carrying the wall-segment breakdown, or to CSV when someone else needs to edit it.
Check the finish parameters you want to manage and Apply writes them back onto the rooms in one transaction, or bring an edited CSV back in - either way the changes are confirmed before anything is written.
Before
Finish quantities are assembled in a spreadsheet from schedules that do not quite line up, and redone after every layout change.
After
The quantities come from the model, with the wall-by-wall workings attached, so a layout change means rerunning rather than rebuilding.
When to reach for it
- A finishes take-off for tender or cost planning.
- Checking that finish materials have actually been assigned before quantities are trusted.
- Producing skirting lengths without measuring perimeters by hand.
What it does not do
- Rooms must be placed and enclosed. A room with a broken boundary has no area, so it cannot be taken off - Room Check finds those first.
- It computes areas and materials, and it can write finish parameters back onto the rooms - but it does not price anything; the output is quantities for a cost exercise, not a cost plan.
- There is no phase filter. On a project with existing and proposed rooms modelled in separate phases, every placed room is taken off, so check the totals against what you meant to measure.
- A ceiling is attributed to a room by a point test - the room's location point has to fall inside the ceiling. A room under two ceilings, or whose location point sits under a gap between them, loses ceiling area quietly.
- The finish parameter names it looks for are hardcoded in English, so on a German or French Revit the finish panel will not find them.
- Per-room detail sheets in the Excel export are capped at fifty, so very large projects export the summary in full and detail for a subset.
- It reads the open document, not linked models.
Questions
- How do I calculate wall finish areas per room in Revit?
- Revit gives you room area and perimeter but not finish area per boundary segment, and it will not deduct door openings from skirting for you. This walks each room's boundary, computes area and material per segment, and handles the deductions.
- Does it deduct door openings from skirting?
- Yes. Skirting is the room perimeter with door openings removed, which is the number a take-off actually needs.
- Can it write the finish parameters as well as measure them?
- Yes. Tick the finish parameters you want to manage and Apply writes them back onto each room in one transaction, after a confirmation - so a missing value you spot in the QA column can be fixed where you found it rather than in a second tool. An edited CSV can be brought back in the same way.
