This is perhaps the most important reason why you should choose Revit over 2D alternatives such as AutoCAD. Design without iteration is engineering. If you're building your home, you'll want to design and personalize it by choosing the right lighting and colors to match your lifestyle. However, these are complex matters that can be assembled into a single architectural project.

Propagate from model plans

 You can of course iterate with a pen and pencil, but you can iterate faster and smarter with Revit. Changes propagate from model plans to facades, sections to final output drawings. Burraq Engineering solution provides Revit training courses in lahore. This way you can share and review the entire project as soon as you make a change. Slowly but surely, you can evaluate the options and make the best design decisions with an ongoing holistic view of the project.

Components

Revit has a large number of manufacturers who freely publish their products as component families that can be used in your project. This includes furniture, lighting, glazing, partitions, and almost any equipment. This way it is very easy to build your house using real products and avoid using general size drawings that may not fit your space. Manufacturers also embed significant metadata into their Revit components, from available sizes and finishes to product codes, to aid in purchasing or requesting a quote.

Planning

Home building architecture can be about small-scale projects, but also about tight budgets. With Revit, you can set up planning early in the design phase and ensure you don't go over budget in any area. See how this complements the iterative nature of Revit as the plans are automatically updated so you can compare what floor area, wall cladding, windows, etc. you have in one version versus another. This allows you to make relevant, measurable, and ultimately realistic evaluations of different design options.

Standards

Revit is the industry standard across the states when it comes to BIM. This makes contracting a design service very easy for home builders. In this case, popularity is good because you can sample the wider market of service providers and find professionals with relevant experience that interests you.

The cross

Discipline Integration Revit deals not only with the architectural design phase but also with structural and MEP. This means you can outsource CAD services that you can't work with in-house, and you don't have to worry about different disciplines not coming together. With Revit, you have all structural and structural elements in one main Revit file. Of course, with outsourcing, it's best to choose a residential design service provider that can handle the entire workflow to reduce any friction. Revit can create output drawings quickly and with maximum clarity. You model once and cut the sections as many times as you want to make sure there are no plumbing cuts and to understand how it all fits together.

3D output

Revit essentially works directly in 3D, so you don't have to spend money creating renderings of your house. You don't need high-end rendering when iterating, and this is where Revit excels with its abundance of visualization options. You can cut out the 3D model with a section box and peek inside this bedroom while seeing how it relates to the staircase or cut through the second floor to reveal the floor plan in 3D.

Revit model into Max 

When it comes to finishing and final detailing, Revit can produce top-notch renders, but it also plays very well with top-of-the-line arch viz software from the Autodesk suite, such as 3dsMax. Getting a Revit model into Max is straightforward and allows for photorealistic rendering from any angle. Most importantly, unlike using AutoCAD or other drafting packages, you are assured that the 3D model the visualization artist is using is the correct model and not a close approximation of 2D plans and views.

Phasing

Construction and staging is also often very useful feature to have when building houses. With Revit, you can control phasing projects where you restore an older house, add an extension, or another segment to it. This is essential to ensure that the existing building and the final building match correctly. It can also help you with the phasing of the actual building development. By keeping the entire project together, old and new in the construction stages, you can ensure a smooth build. This way, you can outsource a survey to a local contractor and let any Revit specialist, even from abroad, fully understand the project and work as if they were present on site.

Flexible modeling options

Not all houses have to have a typical design, with straight lines and general elements. Maybe you want to push the limits a bit, make a statement, or maybe you just want to make sure you get the most out of your space. With its volume tools, Revit enables organic modeling with almost no limitations. Of course, you will need to find a resident Revit BIM modeling specialist, but with Revit any shape is possible and you will also be able to document it and create construction-ready drawings for that shape. In addition, Revit works well with other software such as Grasshopper for Rhino and with its own new Dynamo feature, so getting parametric cladding on the main facade is no longer a problem.

Parametric approach

Parametric doesn't necessarily mean luxury or high-end contemporary architecture. Sometimes parametric architecture is about finding the right parameters to optimize for maximum solar gain and other environmental factors such as taking wind distribution and heat load into account. Revit is no stranger to such analysis if it is important to you that your future home be sustainable. With easy integration with tools like Vasari, a spin-off from the main Revit software, and again with Dynamo, the professional Revit modeler can help you make the statement you want to make when it comes to caring for the planet.

Quality

Of course, quality is in the details. Revit can scale drawings 1:5 and even 1:1 if needed. At the end of the day, you will need to make sure that the important details that cover the wall-to-ground, wall-to-roof, and other connections are paid close attention to. It is also very likely that you will need some custom furniture that will be detailed for fabrication and assembly.

These finishing touches in Revit 

Processing these finishing touches in Revit or leaving them to the contractor's discretion can mean the difference between a properly insulated home and one that is cold and noisy in places and times. With Revit, you can take all BIM information and take it further with 2D detailing by relying on information from vendors who often supply it. A specialist residential design provider will most likely already have all the typical details on hand and will easily adapt them to the necessary configuration.
