Overall Satisfaction with Revit

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.
  • Instant feedback on conflicts.
  • Updating the schedules.
  • Organizing files and allowing multiple access to those files.
  • Transition from a base model to a detailed model
  • Positive - Faster ability to resolve conflicts
  • Positive - Clear understanding of design concepts to the client
  • Negative - Learning curve
  • ArchiCAD
Similar, early on ArchiCAD had a faster learning curve and a bit more rendering abilities for the early design.
  • In the early design process for clients.
  • Then in the construction phase to allow for communication of conflicts in disciplines.
