Arron Maller Update

Have you ever created a Revit model that you think is so good that if your kids could comprehend what your doing they would think your a hero. Well here is your chance to make it official. 

Thanks to Bim and Beam for bringing us the story on to become superman. Below are some of the criteria:
  • Is the project modeled using Autodesk Revit for Architecture, MEP and Structure?
  • Is the building aesthetically pleasing?  The architectural team needs a building that looks cool and unique to meet their requirements.
  • Does the MEP model contain duct, pipe, plumbing and lighting systems?  If it includes cable tray, fire protection, etc., even better!
  • It’s not a necessity, but if the structural model contains a good analytical model, it would be a benefit.

Revit Rants: 
Platforms vs. Products

Here's a taste from Do Revit:

"If you're designing a building, do you want to design a "Product" or do you want to design something that people will be able to "plug into", make use of, and adapt to their needs? Sorry FLW fans, but in some respects he was a bit of unique genius like Steve Jobs, and most of us are just not that good, we can't design something that will perfectly fit the end user's needs 5, 10, 20, 50 years down the road, the best we can do is design something that will adapt well to meet those needs as they come about."

The efficiencies associated with using BIM reduced what is typically a twelve week schedule to eight weeks. Although a house is not a complex construction project, Kurth explains that “by helping with the day-by-day schedule, BIM enabled us to do things such as look at the wall construction schedule, for example, and consolidate it into one day,” explains Kurth ...more at Buildipedia
