Overall Satisfaction with Revit

It simplifies the process of drafting, and 3D modeling in a way that's amazing, plus the features it has are endless. For example, you can work in different views at the time. Also, you can have a live section, in such any update you do in the layout, will be automatically reflected on the section. You can enter information about any material/object you use in a project and then get cost analysis/other data by doing so. In some places, it is mandatory for the public sector projects to use BIM software, and working with a team is definitely easier, as many people can work on the same file and then update it without interfering with someone else's work. When you're starting to learn and adapt to the software it is useful that you can customize its platform. You can save templates so any time you start a project you'll have the same text font, arrow style, layouts, etc.

Pros

  • HVAC Design.
  • Infrastructure Work.
  • 3D Pipework.
  • Calculating heating and cooling loads easily.

Cons

  • For new users, it will be quite complex hence recommending a more friendly user interface.
  • It opens slowly when you are working on a heavy file.
  • Reduce the time spent on designing.
  • BIM-modelling software that supports all disciplines.
  • Real time syncing & collaboration function.
When we talk with different clients, they can't visualize what we want, having Revit with its 3D tools can give a very accurate presentation for the design along with the clash detecting if many disciplines worked together on the same project. Also, it allows for previewing a building during design, effectively a virtual prototype like rendering and walkthroughs. Revit is very helpful especially when it comes to using components that are drawn with building information that can be collected later to provide a bill of materials specified in a schedule.

If you are planning to do a small-mid-sized project with great presentation tools for your client, then Revit is the best and optimum tool to guarantee satisfying results. As such the client can imagine how the final work on-site will be in order to reduce time spent commodification and by default increasing the profit and reducing the effort. Also, if there is a big team working on a certain project, then they can easily and efficiently use this program in such any update would be reflected and they can notice any change which allows collaboration.
