The construction of a building involves a host of people. It starts with a design proposed by the architect to the contractor, who oversees the on-site construction process. To follow a systematic construction process, BIM (Building Information Modelling) is increasingly playing a vital role. Understanding the benefits that the BIM process provides, architects and engineers have adopted the BIM approach using the Revit software.
Revit has grown popular over the years for several reasons. One of the key reasons Revit has grown popular is because it has been designed in a manner to include the BIM process in its user interface with cloud computing. This enables everyone involved in the project to gain access to any information required. Several AEC firms request employers to upgrade their knowledge of Revit with an Autodesk-certified Revit architectural, MEP or structural certification course that helps users learn about the BIM process. A few more reasons why Revit has emerged as a favourite for architects and engineers can be found below.
As Revit enables the creation of 3D models, it helps sales and marketing teams explain the potential of a project to customers. Analysing these models may help in planning maintenance, as it provides architectural drafts and blueprints. The virtual reality element these models provide acts as a sales pitch for customers, as they can examine a mock-up of a to-be-constructed building.
Revit Live, a product by Autodesk, is a feature that enables 3D files to be stored in Autodesk servers. This way, information is easily accessible to those involved in the project, and communication between members takes place with ease through one platform.
Revit files are accessible on computers, VR devices and smartphones. This enables contractors, engineers and investors a transparent mode of communication.
Revit offers various analytical tools that analyse the environmental impact of a building’s design. The GreenBuild feature in Revit takes into consideration the sustainability aspect of any design.
Along with enabling the creation of environmentally friendly building designs, Revit helps reduce the number of drawings required for architectural designs. It records important project information, including tags and keynotes to access specific details when required.
In addition, civil engineers prefer Revit for the following reasons:
Parametric structural steel connections can be edited according to the preferred requirements.
Civil engineers can also model their own connections (Custom Connections) and place them in the model.
Several CAD/BIM firms offer Revit Structure certification courses to help civil engineers learn Revit. On completing these courses, civil engineers can apply for Revit jobs in Mumbai. Grey Edge offers Autodesk-certified Revit courses in their Goregaon training centre in Mumbai. To register for any of these courses, visit https://www.grey-edge.com/
Grey Edge offers a wide range of courses for individuals who want to enhance their Architectural / MEP / Structural CAD / BIM skills
