Best Practices for Revit Coordination: How to Work Well With the Entire Design Team
George Condes (presenter)
Three-dimensional modeling tools like Revit provide designers with a world of design possibilities. But the real competitive advantage of the program comes from its incredible boost to collaboration. Revit helps design teams meet tight deadlines, coordinate between trades, and limit costly requests for information (RFI) in the field. Several fast-track case study projects illustrate how to leverage all the tool has to offer for a great outcome. Get the best tips and practices for clean, effective collaboration with the entire design team during the architectural model development. George discussed pros and cons of using Revit for specific types of projects – interior projects, gut renovations, and selective demolition/reuse – and identified the common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
