Chapter 22

Revit in Construction

In this chapter, we will explore the use of Revit in the construction phase by design teams and builders. For design teams, the use of Revit usually entails markups, sketches, and revision management; however, a builder may approach BIM tools in unique ways. Many different BIM programs are available for builders to use in preconstruction and construction phase tasks, so we will not pretend that Revit is used by the majority of them. Instead, we will offer two case studies of companies currently using Revit for these tasks and show you some of the benefits they realize.

In this chapter, you'll learn to:

  • Add revisions to your project
  • Use digital markups
  • Understand how a builder uses Revit
