Overall Satisfaction with Revit

Revit is being widely used for digitalizing the construction by means of drafting the services on [a] computer before the construction on site. Generally, we do MEP modeling in Revit and later on perform clash coordination followed by shop drawing/spooling/quantity takeoff/scheduling. (Depends upon the requirement). Revit provides the platform to model things in 3D and later on visualizing.

Pros

  • 3D Architecture, structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing modeling
  • Inter service clash coordination
  • Shop drawings
  • Spooling
  • Scheduling, quantity take off

Cons

  • Inter service clash detection can be more easy to use
  • Standard fittings can be available as per manufacturer's standard
  • Some add-ins (Ex. quick select) can be added in the algorithm of Revit
  • 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 is very vast. It not only [has a] single discipline but also [has] multiple disciplines in a single software, so it meets all of the requirements and performs tasks with ease. Revit is the best option [that] is more user-friendly with respect to its comparable software. So this makes Revit perform tasks in less time.

Do you think Revit delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Revit's feature set?

Yes

Did Revit live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Revit go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Revit again?

Yes

Well suited: -Creating MEP modeling with great/convenient user interface. -Collaborative environment (Multiple users can work on a single file).
Less appropriate: -Sometimes at some location slope [the] drainage pipe changes without disturbing that line. -In some cases, while drawing a service, Revit crashes and closes automatically without saving the work.
