Overall Satisfaction with Revit
Revit is currently used by our Virtual Design & Construction, Operations, and Estimating Departments at a mid-size to large general contracting company. Our Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) uses Revit for BIM coordination, 3D/4D Logistics Planning, Pointcloud scanning and Analysis, rendering, and more. Our Estimating department uses it for takeoffs, value engineering, and budgeting. Operations bridge the gap between departments and use it for odds and ends throughout the construction administration process.
Pros
- Construction Documents
- Drawing History/Updates
- BIM Coordination
- Logistics Planning
Cons
- User Interface
- Creative Design Abilities
- Cost/Access
- BIM coordination is much more efficient and streamlined.
- Virtual collaboration on design-build projects or project changes is improved.
- Faster drawing updates/publishes by design teams.
Revit is one of the most powerful tools in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Field. It is outmatched by none. There is definitely a learning curve, and it cannot be picked up by an average employee and learned without formal training. Revit can do more on the design/design management side of construction than any other product/platform.
