We use Revit for the design of our architectural projects. It is being used on a project-by-project basis based on what the owner is wanting. Revit's 3D Application allows us to solve problems in design that normally wouldn't be caught until construction. It forces you do design based on how things are actually built instead of just making it look good on construction documents.

In my current role as a general contractor office, I utilize Revit to view and access the design intent models from architects, and engineers. Our department has about half a dozen people and we also create supplemental models to provide additional useful information for 3D coordination. Previously, I worked for a design consultant where I prepared construction documents for commercial and private businesses, as well as private residences. In my previous job, the drafting/modeling department was just me with two to three other engineers.

Check is a software that is used as part of the knowledge of the area in that work. This design tool allows us with professional services. We create a work team to distribute the tasks because of the magnitude of the work we do here. It also allows us to obtain good results in terms of 3D drawings.

Revit is being used by the entire team to coordinate on all projects dealing with architects and planners who are using BIM for their CAD. This is being used by most all of the team with the exception of some of the higher level executives. All professions are starting to use Revit as a BIM solution.

Revit is being used across my entire firm. We are using it for integrated BIM work with our consultants, mainly engineers, who are also using the program. Revit also allows us to collaboratively work on projects which benefits us greatly on larger projects where multiple people are required to finish the project. This allows our firm to complete projects faster than if we were using other programs and allows designers to work together in real time at their own work stations.

At Korsmo Construction, we use Revit to create fabrication level structural models to validate design and create drawings and models which are used for estimating, constructability review, drawings and layout data for all self -performed scopes of work. The act of modeling closely simulates the act of building; if you cannot model it due to a lack of information, you cannot build it. This often finds errors and omissions from the design team and solves issues before they present themselves in the field. Our VDC department is the currently the only department that models in Revit, however, there are a few in the organization that can utilize it by simply opening up design teams models and analyze for design intent and reference.

Currently Revit is being used by our BIM (Building Information Modeling) department, but there are some instances where Revit is used in field operations as well. We use Revit to draw various building systems, and then use those models to coordinate across trades. Revit is also used by our company for concrete self perform work to create drawings for the carpenters to use in the field when forming various concrete components.

Our company uses Revit across all three trades we do here. We use Revit or other software depending on the project. For larger or new construction projects I find that Revit is extremely helpful with coordination between trades. It can help reveal areas where space is too tight for our designs that we might not have noticed otherwise.

We use Revit to build the 3D models and perform the estimates of all the construction projects. Also, we use it to send the isometric models to the project management team so they can build the takeoff with the drawings of AutoCAD and the 3D models of Revit. We use it every day to mark up the changes on every construction model for condos, townhouses and custom lots.

Our clients are using Revit in their consulting engineering practices. As a result - we seek candidates skilled and experienced in this software. We work with people that are in production and consult using the latest software. This is the industry standard people are seeking. In the pursuit of excellence, we seek people up to date on their skills.

Revit is being used everyday in our company for everything from schematic design concept drawings to construction documents. I have started with programming in Revit with color diagrams and general space planning and have moved my project through the design process and construction documents all the way to construction administration. I use Revit for working through technical details that arise throughout the project and area take offs are made very easy.

Autodesk Revit is being used by the organization in the construction and project department. It addresses the problems related to quantities and takeoff. We are mainly a construction company, so we recreate the projects plans in great detail to get accurate quantities list that we link to an estimate to get the final budget for the construction projects. For any changes we change the model, which is easy to do, and it will automatically refresh all the final pricing related to the quantities.

With any BIM product, the ability to see conflicts in a multi-dimensional space [is necessary].

Revit, in particular, has assisted our firm in understanding concepts and being able to relay that information to clients that don't see in 3D like the design team does.

Revit is our primary design tool for creating construction documents. It is used on 100% of our projects and all of the departments use it. The main problems Revit addressed was the turn around time for drafting buildings. Since Revit is a design tool and not a drafting tool. The process from idea to finished documents has shortened.

It's used across the whole organization. We typically use Revit to analyze a model which has already been designed. It's often used as a step stone to get models into other programs such as Navisworks, Assemble, Synchro, etc. Sometimes there is some editing done in Revit, but from my experience as an estimator, this is very rare.

Revit is used by our firm to generate drawings and renderings for a client as they have hired us to design their building. This program allows us to keep all of our drawings in one file while allowing us to link in consultant models so that we can coordinate design issues.

Revit is primarily used within the VDC department in our organization. We use it for a variety of different things such as building a model in Revit and taking it into Navisworks to do BIM/MEP coordination, utilizing it for small design projects or, or just utilizing its 3D capabilities to better explain a project to a client or partner on the project.

As Revit becomes more sophisticated not only in 3D modeling, but materials and project management, the Architect - Engineering communities are becoming more inclined towards working with manufacturers who can comply to their technological demands. If you're seeking to stay ahead of your competition, contractors and manufacturers alike realize they need to invest in new BIM technologies such as Revit to gain an edge.

Revit is being used in coordination and design for new and remodel projects for our HVAC Mechanical company. Our detailing department is designing jobs, planning installs, coordinating layouts with other trades and generally solving all sorts of design issues before construction in the field. This saves time for field personnel for them to basically just verify instead of spending field hours designing and working around other trades.
