BIM Design with Autodesk Revit (CEF Approved) CEF Course Code: 22C07530-5
CEF Institution Code: 548 | |
Course Description The Revit platform is Autodesk’s purpose-built solution for building information modeling (BIM), which is changing the way how architects and engineers create and manage their designs. With Revit’s parametric design engine, a dynamic 3D model is generated to replace a whole series of traditional CAD drawings. BIM assembles all information into one location and cross-link data intelligently. A change in one view of the model will propagate to all other views of the same model to update related changes, allowing designers to have a much more effective way to create, control, and display information. BIM improves visualization, minimizes errors, save costs, and allows better predictability and planning. The course aims at providing professional training for participants to acquire the knowledge and skills to use the Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology provided by Autodesk Revit 2009. Upon course completion, you will be able to: - understand the benefits of building information modeling
- use Revit Architecture 2009 and parametric 3D design tools to design projects, create detailing and drafting views, create conceptual designs, create construction documentation, and use the presentation tools for presenting models
Course Duration 30 Hours Course Prerequisites A working knowledge of Microsoft Windows XP or a later Windows version. No previous CAD experience is necessary; however, architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience is highly recommended. Course Content The programme consists of the following 3 modules. Revit 2009 will be used during hands-on practice.

ROI of using Revit |
2009-05-11 |
Many users ask me about the return of using Revit and BIM, I want to share a class in AU 2008 and the subject of disciussion is about the ROI. Gilbane Building Company A company name Gilbane Building Company, the Director mentioned in the seminar that they had several project using Revit and they have realize many benefits such as the followings: Project cost reduction in · Keybank Operation Center - reduce $1M · Potawatomi Bingo Casino - reduce $2M · SC Johnson Company Project - reduce $1M (projected) 50%-70% reduction of RFI 5%-10% reduction of project time 20%-35% reduction of coordination of major discipline
DPR Construction, Inc.
The lean construction coordinator presented in the same session that they have a medical center construction project using Revit and has the following returns: -
- 100% of MEP installation in place
- 0 RFI for system modeled
- 6 M&E RFIs
- 43hours of rework out of 25,000 hours
- $400K labout cost saving on $9.03M contract for HVAC
- 30% fewer sheet metal workers
- 55% fewer pipe fitters
- 20-37% increase productivity
Denver Operating Group The Integrated Construction Manager saying in the same seminar that they have compared 2 very similar projects, one has Revit and the other one has not, the result is -
- Mechanical subcontractor estimate 50% reduction of labor and 50% reduction in schedule
- No rework in concrete placement and steel erection
- 74% ↓ of RFI in foundation work
- 47% ↓ of RFI in steel erection work
- 2 months ahead program
- Cost Saving $1,169,600
- ROI 3:1

Recommended Class in AU 2008 |
2008-12-16 |
I am reviewing classes from AU2008, when i find any interesting class, i am going to post it here AU classes Top Ten Ways to Peak ROI from BIM Part 1 and Part 2 CR400-1 http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=2887 and CR 404-1 http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=class&session_id=2683 The benefits of Revit and NavisWorks are many and are enjoyed by various members of the project team. Some firms are leading in planning and directing the whole team in BIM participation, implementing best practices, and making a point of measuring those benefits. The savings can be in the millions of dollars. The project durations are being reduced by weeks or months. |
