The usefulness of revit for landscape architect

s revit really helpful for landscape architects? Basically, the most of the landscape architects are reluctant to use revit for their projects as it lacks sufficient site tools. But Revit is purposely designated for Building Information Modelling (BIM), facilitating building professionals to design, construct and preserve superior and more sustainable buildings.

Revit can provide the following benefits to a landscape architect:-

The most striking factor of Revit is that it’s Central Model' facilitates various project stakeholders to perform with diversified elements of the model and at the same time gathering all the information under one central model. So a landscape architect will be able to model exterior design components like topography and vegetation whereas the architect will be on the building. With the advancement of the project, the Central Model will be converted into a complete model. One can get rid of providing numerous drawings and continuously sending This would save the need to have multiple drawings, and to be constantly sending restructured plans from side to side.

Revit can be utilized to produce phased drawings. There are several projects which involve numerous phases of building/site construction. Revit empowers the users to efficiently allocate a phase to an object and then sort out the views by phase.

Revit comes with a Toposurface tool that can be used to generate a 3D terrain model. A fundamental Toposurface is generally formed with either positioning spot levels yourself otherwise by importing 3D terrain data from another drawing. One can acquire terrain information from Google Earth and integrate inside a revit model by importing the terrain into SketchUp and exporting it to .dwg.

Revit comprises of smart object and auto scheduling features which can be applied for creating Landscape Plans easily. Sections and schedules are created directly from the model. Areas are scheduled and computed without any difficulties which save huge time as well as probable errors. Details are generally prepared by the drafting views and function like CAD Drawings. The details are much easier to build in Revit with the application of detail components.

One can take superior informed design decisions at initial phase of the project through coordination and clash detection of utilities and drainage (both existing & proposed), trees root zones, levels, attenuation tanks, retaining walls, building interface.

With these above parametric objects, there is a database of information to be applied for detailing, construction estimating, procurement, future maintenance requirements, etc. Besides, as the workflow of Revit is focused on the formation of a virtual 3D model of the design, modifications made to this design can be forwarded across numerous drawings (plans, sections, 3D views), which result in achieving superior work efficiency.

Revit maintains superior graphic quality with its walk-through features and rendering capabilities which are high-class and exceptionally realistic. Revit can also depict extremely precise solar and lighting studies.

The Legal BIM Frontier: New Contracts and Recent Case Developments – An exclusive event on BIM

WPL Publishing is going to sponsor an event entitled as “The Legal BIM Frontier: New Contracts and Recent Case Developments”, highlighting the latest legal developments concerning building information modeling (BIM) technology and how these developments are persuaded by construction professionals. The webinar will continue for 90 minutes and be held on Feb. 12, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. (EST).

BIM execution involves a multifaceted new set of risk-allocation and management challenges. To cope up with the situations, numerous sets of BIM contract addendums and implementation guides have come out from diversified institutes. But if BIM is applied perfectly, it can lessen claims and legal issues to a great extent.

The webinar will facilitate the construction professionals to realize and deal with issues in this area.

Upon completion of the webinar, the attendees can perform the following activities:

• Walk around risk management concerning digital information necessary for initiating a BIM project.
• Apply supplementary BIM contract forms to include to standard project contracts.
• Set up a BIM execution plan for a new BIM project.
• Use the concepts of the information manager, project participant, and contributor to plan staffing for a BIM project.

Rebecca McWilliams, an attorney and licensed architect will perform as the keynote speaker. She focuses her practice on helping design professionals by offering contract reviews, business entity advisement, risk management evaluations, claims monitoring, and associated legal services. She has in-depth knowledge on BIM and sustainable design projects. Before starting her legal career, she practiced architecture for 10 years, with a portfolio including single- and multi-family residential units, design-build retail, commercial offices, religious facilities, condominiums, and K-12 public schools.

Home Builders can produce a smarter estimate with BIM Pipeline

BIM Pipeline refers to a web supported, rules motivated material management and estimation system that applies BIM data to directly undertake comprehensive take-offs.

BIM Pipeline facilitates builders to control BIM data for producing complete master plan estimates through delta BOM reports for options, lot specific as built reports to directly cut purchase orders as well as confine changes focused on customer to track client customizations, all self-governing of the source of the BIM data. Builders can now find a way out to bridge the historical gap proficiently & perfectly amid design and estimation and minimize cycle times.

BIM Pipeline was specially designed for home builders to perform exact material takeoffs and rapidly understand their construction costs. The module based design facilitates builders to opt for the features for fulfilling their current goals.

BIM Pipeline uses and clarifies BIM data directly from numerous leading BIM applications like AutoCAD Architecture, Revit, Vertex BD, and VisionRez. Then it links design, sales, estimation, and purchasing by incorporating with back office system directly. It also outputs to Excel or homogeneous XML for incorporating with other back office systems.

BIM Pipeline comes up with three different modules as mentioned below:-

Builder module: It allows the users to handle all the consistent assets concerning a home builder and manage exactly what’s getting built.

Cloud estimating module: With Cloud Estimation the users will be able to get it all together by transmitting the BIM direct data to a full bill of materials.

Costing module: With the Costing Module you can prevent redundant tasks by using a complete BOM to align with various vendor's costs and establish a true cost to construct.

BIM Pipeline offers the following benefits to construction professionals:-

• Connect design to estimating for precise automated takeoffs
• Scale operations devoid of adding staff
• Enhance net margins
• Leverage the identified costs of a production builder, whereas facilitating customer specific changes to be happened and remain profitable.
