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 is included in our AEC Collection. I find the cost of my suite affordable for what I am getting. The true cost of Revit is not found in the license cost, but in the training, SOPs and content management. We get our ROI from flushing out design errors/omissions which can add up to a large number. One issue can easily cost the project 10-100k depending on the issue. I see no reason anyone would find it challenging to get ROI from integrating 3d modeling in your business development.
  • Revit really is the foundation of content creation. If we didnt use Revit, it would be hard to claim we have a functioning BIM/VDC department. I would question any AEC professional that claims they can perform VDC and does not know how to use Revit.

  • When Revit is used for coordinating concrete formwork, embeds, and anything else that goes in a concrete pour, we are in a much better position being able to create our own Revit drawing instead of having to use multiple contract drawings.
  • BIM coordination using Revit models has helped us to eliminate many clashes prior to construction.
  • We have had some issues with not having updated contract drawings or an updated model due to the inability of the architect to keep a "current" model while still working on changes.

  • Revit has provided the a singular view for drafting and design hours improving the accuracy upon details and finishes.
  • Revit also allows you to calculate the phase efforts since all the details that you get from the 3D models and enables you to set the estimates with extreme accuracy.
  • The productivity gained once you set the proper training to the end user can take up to 50% of the budget of investment. So be careful with this.

Revit for Architects

  • revit has three big returns on investment - the first is that the office is much more productive, we can do with two architects the same job that with other methods required 5 or 8 architects
  • We avoid construction intersection and the quantities are so exact that we don't buy more than what we need.
  • We can accurately show client how the project is going to look like, and how much it will cost, much quicker than any other methods.

  • It has reduced the number of errors and omissions on projects.
  • The learning curve on the product has taken longer than thought. you will eat up some time learning how to use the tool well.
  • If you do not fully commit to Revit you will cost you more than it will make you.
  • It has help reduce the number of request of information (RFIs) received on a project.

Estimator & Revit

  • Revit has allowed me to use a model in such a way that I can extract quantities. This is a huge benefit. Whether I'm actually getting the data directly from Revit, or from another software which required Revit, both scenarios require Revit.
  • As a negative, because it is so difficult to use, it can be intimidating for every day estimators to open it up and try to get something out of it.

  • Revit is a great ROI because it is basically an all in one program. The industry will move toward this program until CAD becomes obsolete.
  • There haven't been any negatives as the interns we hire continue to get better and better at Revit.

  • It allows us to build models ourselves which we can utilize in house.
  • We can utilize models provided to us from architects and engineers.
  • It allows us to always have the ability to work with what we are provided and not have to ask for a CAD file or something else instead.

  • Our Construction Unit can pay for their licensing on the year by working on a small-medium sized project (by their standards) involving Revit.
  • Revit is always looking to be integrated in one way or another whether it be partnering with a company to develop apps, user training, design-engineering optimization, or project management sequencing.

  • It's positive. It saves quite a bit of field time when used correctly, and lets us make sure we have proper room for all equipment and ductwork.
  • Helping minimize field 'thinking' time is an immediate add to the bottom line. 1 guy designing on the front side saves down time of 5-10 guys waiting in the field. Cost savings on labor is apparent.
  • Coordination time is also cut down, saving on office time. It's easy to spell out what your plan of attack is. All these savings directly add to bottom line profit by not expending labor.
