Any organization can consistently assure best value outcomes for facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new builds. The success of any repair, renovation, maintenance, or new build project is dependent upon early and ongoing collaboration among key parties.

Sure we benefit from the modelling effort in architecture and structure but we can still benefit from the effort without them. Why assume that there is no value in creating a model of the MEP scope of work even if the architect doesnt use Revit? Modeling a project reveals more than doing one in 2D. Builds and Updates.

In this image the massing has been created aligned with the "site" but weve realized that it would be easier to document if Project North were aligned along one building edge.

Wall Floor Interaction and Linked Models. When we have architecture and structure in separate Revit models we end up with somewhat clumsy graphics in wall sections. This is more pronounced if the structural slab is in the structure model only. The issue is the same when interior walls are linked into a shell model.
