Revit is a versatile software used in various industries for a wide range of purposes. Users, including architects, engineers, and construction professionals, rely on Revit for designing and coordinating building projects. With its powerful features, Revit has become the go-to tool for creating construction drawings, performing structural analysis, and solving coordination problems. It streamlines the process of creating 3D models, generating estimates, and sending isometric models to the project management team. Revit is also extensively used for BIM/MEP coordination, allowing different trades to collaborate seamlessly and catch potential issues early on. Moreover, Revit aids in visualization, enabling studio artists to develop and bring amusement park designs to life. Contractors and manufacturers invest in Revit to stay competitive and meet technological demands. Overall, Revit proves to be an invaluable asset in the construction industry by addressing problems related to quantities, takeoff, coordination between trades, and meeting client requirements.

Users commonly recommend the following:

Invest in training and learn the advanced features. Many users suggest investing in good training to quickly implement Revit and make the most of its advanced features. They recommend watching tutorials, practicing, and getting employees trained in Revit before starting projects.

Establish company standards and organize the Revit model. Users advise creating good company standards for content creation in Revit and setting up the organization of the Revit model. They also recommend saving frequently to avoid losing work.

Start with small projects and test on real-world scenarios. Users suggest starting with small projects as Revit can be time-consuming, especially for beginners. They acknowledge a learning curve but believe it is worth it. They also recommend testing Revit on real-world scenarios before fully committing, as they consider it the most widely used and compatible BIM platform.

Overall, users emphasize the importance of training, establishing standards, and starting with smaller projects when using Revit. They appreciate its time-saving capabilities, ability to work with both 2D and 3D documents, and its industry-standard position in architecture.

  • Revit can be prohibitively expensive for smaller firms, especially since they have so many different versions and they provide no forward compatibility.
  • However, when well used, it allows the quick creation of detailed drawings offsetting the license cost in the long run.
  • Furthermore, Revit has an extensive API allowing users to create their own commands that suit their needs, further increasing productivity and allowing users to get an edge on their competition.

  • Many of our clients need Revit knowledge, so it is a huge part of our business as consultants
  • There is a significant license cost
  • Yearly updates and frequent changes in feature sets and services make it sometimes difficult in long-term projects

  • one of the biggest ROI's i have seen is that we can recycle really old Revit models. our firm made the switch a long time ago so we have them handy as a reference when we start a new project on an old job site.
  • another nice thing is that since we all use Revit in the firm, everything that needs to be "standardized" for efficiency is already in a new project template when we start it up.

  • It's worth to have software like this, this will definitely save overall cost and time.
  • It is very useful to coordinate with site team.
  • If any changes happen it can be completed without interrupting the site (In case work has not started yet).

  • Revit has a great ROI because it has all those functions that should be in a Architectural software
  • Is it capable of drawing most MEP and Arch aspects of a building such that all equipment, materials and fittings are in the model. Ready to be specified, detailed, costed and programmed, so any industry is ready to use this product for solving his issues .
  • Negative impact of revit is extremely hardware gluttonous i.e, Lots of RAM, lots of CPU (especially single thread), storage and network needs to be extremely fast, and not to forget graphics. The average computer tends to be too inferior to handle Revit on something more intense than a small house. Some entry level stuff won’t even open the program - before you’ve even drawn anything.

  • Revit is starting to be demanded by our clients. As such being able to complete a project in Revit has been good for service offerings.
  • Training people on Revit, especially if they know CAD first, can be time-consuming.
  • Overall Revit is beneficial in design documentation especially when it comes to initial drawing setup and design revisions.

  • Though implementation of Revit is usually front heavy which means a lot of effort is put in at the front end of the project, the return of investment towards the remainder of the project is really good. All the effort in decisions made at the beginning of the project pays off with Revit incorporating all the building information in the model so the team can glean from this throughout the life of the project is a major plus.
  • A major negative is the many false assumptions that comes with using Revit on a project. Just like any other computer application, Revit is only a tool. It's only as good as the operators who implement this tool. Revit is not a cureall for fixing all the problems that still can come out throughout the life of a design & construction project.
  • A major positive for our office involving the use of Revit is the ability for our staff from multiple offices to work on the same project central file. We don't need to maintain an expensive server. With the addition of Collaboration for Revit the entire project can be stored in the cloud for our staff to access and complete the project faster than ever.

  • When presenting projects to clients, Revit always does a good job on showing the design of what we have offered and what the clients would eventually see for their projects.
  • Since a growing number of industry companies are using it, it is helpful for our students to get familiar with it before going out into the workforce.

  • Revit allowed us to quickly develop the initial design of buildings, saving a lot of time.
  • The program made it possible to quickly make several versions of projects.
  • Thanks to accurate documentation, the customer was able to fully assess the cost and capabilities of the project.
