Increasing Autodesk Revit Productivity for BIM Projects

By: Fabio Roberti, Decio Ferreira

Overview of this book

Increasing Autodesk Revit Productivity for BIM Projects takes a hands-on approach to implementing Revit effectively for everyone curious about this new and exciting methodology. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, this Revit book begins by explaining the principles of productivity in Revit and data management for BIM projects. You'll get to grips with the primary BIM documentation to start a BIM project, including the contract, Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), and BIM Execution Plan (BEP/BXP). Later, you'll create a Revit template, start a Revit project, and explore the core functionalities of Revit to increase productivity. Once you've built the foundation, you'll learn about Revit plugins and use Dynamo for visual programming and Power BI for analyzing BIM information. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of Revit as construction and design software, how to increase productivity in Revit, and how to apply multiple workflows in your project to manage BIM.

Establishing an Action Plan to start a BIM project

An Action Plan helps organizations to start BIM projects with an established process to manage project data and turn goals into reality, which will avoid problems during the design, construction, and building life cycle.

The Action Plan will provide a list of tasks to be completed to achieve initial objectives to manage project data, and it can increase efficiencies on your workflow to start a project.

The Action Plan will include the following tasks, but is not limited to these:

  • Defining the initial BIM objectives to manage project data
  • Listing the task to be completed to reach your objectives
  • Prioritizing essential tasks in conjunction with project deadlines
  • Defining initial project deadlines to receive information
  • Defining the resources required to complete your tasks
  • Measuring and evaluating the progress and updating the Action Plan as required

An effective Action Plan can help to keep...
