### "Revit review - Electrical"

May 9, 2022

5.0

Revit is making the difference in the construction world. Each new year there seems to be an improvement in the program.

Pros

Revit works with autocad to help capture the best of both worlds. I love the ease of design, schedules, and how it incorporates architecture, electrical, mechanical and structural.

Cons

The software doesn't really work well with excel. You have to go through autocad to use excel. Also the project setup is a longer process than in Cad.

### "Revit is a great multi-dimensional software for architectural projects "

July 19, 2019

4.0

Overall, I love using Revit. It supports work-sharing and inter-disciplinary collaboration. This platform enables simultaneous work on a design file which improves efficiency and redundant work.

Pros

This software provides multi-dimensional layers to an architectural projects, enabling collaboration between structural, lighting, and mechanical engineering and architects. Design challenges, alternative options, and different phases can be created through options, worksets, or links. Revit schedules area great way for data management and coordination.

Cons

Exporting the revit file into CAD is not entirely 2D. It may needs some improvement in terms of export properties. Sometimes syncing is an issue when multiple people are trying to save at the same time.

### "Powerful Construction Software"

August 9, 2023

5.0

This product helped greatly with our design and clash detection on projects. The software is innovative, and the future of construction design/management.

Pros

Revit has endless capabilities for construction management. From design to final punch list, its tools are helpful and useful each step of the way

Cons

There is a huge learning curve for using this product. This is to be expected with the large about of data and design being processed. There are probably some UI changes that could help with this.

### "More intuitive than other BIM platforms"

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

I think the features are just limitless to be honest, there is so much you can do with Revit! It's super smart and makes modeling a breeze once you get a hang of it.

Cons

The graphics can be improved a little, I mean default line weights, symbols and such. It's all a little chunky in appearance and can be more elegant.

### "Easy and Great 3D modeling software!"

April 11, 2021

5.0

Overall Revit is a great software if you want to work on a project fast whiles modelling and creating other views at the same time. There is the ability to share projects among users which makes it easy to work on a single project at a time. I would surely recommend Revit.

Pros

Revit can be easily used to do multiple views at a time with 3D visualized models. It is very user friendly and easy to learn . I highly recommend Revit to Architects and engineers

Cons

Quality renderings in revit takes a while to finish as compared to other softwares. Revit also demands a computer with a high functional capacity to work.

### "BIM with Revit "

December 15, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Revit is excellent. I'm working with this for total BIM projects.

Pros

We can proceed with Total BIM with modeling, coordination, estimation, spoiling with this software. Time to time updation of software with growing world is the best thing about this software.

Cons

The cost of software should be low so much more people will engage with this software.

### "Good tool to make life easier if know how to use it"

November 8, 2022

4.0

Good I’m making very good drawings through all the work stages. A bit tedious to learn and remember functionalities

Pros

Revit is full of potentiality and allow to produce very good drawings in all the stages including sections and 3D views very hard to produce manually in autocad.

Cons

The program is not intuitive and the user need to have a proper training. A lot of functions are not intuitive. It requires all the members of the team to be up to speed with the program to avoid disruptions since everyone is working on the same model.The contractor sometimes is lead to think that the engineering drawings are full coordinated drawings and the communication with them becomes tricky. It might lead to unpaid work.

### "Software every engineer should have"

September 5, 2021

4.0

Revit has been a very wonderful software for me, and I am glad I took the time to learn it. It is exceptionally effective for BIM tasks in particular. And for internal team collaboration, it is one of the most user friendly and efficient tools out there. It therefore helps us save a great deal of time as we increase team output time.

Pros

Revit is very efficient in how it optimizes use. One such feature is how component structures or sections do not have to be replicated in other view representations. The software does all that for you. So yes, the section tool is one of my favorite features in Revit.

Cons

The user community for Revit isn't as great as those of competing products. This limits direct collaboration opportunities. And the cost is a little high.

### "Easy to use and Efficient "

February 19, 2019

4.0

Overall experience is positive, but they still need to work on enhancing synchronization techniques.

Pros

This software is easy to use and learn. Wide range of usage of this product in fields of Pre-construction, co-ordination and facility management.

Cons

Revit can be tricky to use with large models and multiple people.

### "Very best with no close second"

October 3, 2020

5.0

We use Revit Architecture for all projects in our firm. Residential and commercial, building site, buildings and interiors. There are better options for interior and site but Revit can produce good results for both areas. And you don't neet to purchase and implement another software. Some of the process can take time (not that automated) and you have to figure out how make the most out of what Revit can offer. But when you do it is great and a pleasure to use.

Pros

little time it taks from start to end results. BIM model. Keynotes help annotation to stay consistent among drawings.

Cons

Setting up templates takes time. Easy to learn and hard to master - after a while you start to see shortcomings that are solvable but require a different approach and take a lot of time to resolve

### "Revit - Workflow Powerhouse"

July 10, 2019

4.0

Revit has the benefit of allowing multiple users access the model at once. Although it does require a some frontloaded hours to set up the model, it will make up that time and more at the end of the project.

Pros

Revit allows you to draw in 3 dimensions creating plans, sections, elevations, and 3D all at once.

Cons

Revit while being one of the most powerful production software, it does have quite a learning curve. This can lead to major issues if a user does not fully understand the workflow.

### "Fundamental Tool of the Trade"

August 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

This is a classic software that has been deeply entrenched in our industry. For all significant projects, all disciplines and consultants come together in creating Revit models and drawings with collaboration using Civil 3D as well. We recently created a VR model of a LRT station based on Revit exports tying in architecture, structural, electrical, mechanical etc. It is basically a mandatory tool of the trade.

Cons

When exporting for use in C3D is not as straightforward as it should be. Geographic (GCS) often doesn't line up. Since C3D mainly uses meters, Revit often defaults to mm and a rotated ucs leading to difficulties in aligning drawings in C3D and CAD.

### "Too restrictive for real Architecture Design"

April 17, 2020

1.0

Disappointing

Pros

Has live sections and elevations and good MEP tools for

Cons

Is too restrictive for design, the software is cumbersome, for an architect is too complicaded to generate soft forms and the resulting 2D plans are horrible, you need to fix/correct almost all the drawings in AutoCAD so the graphics are somewhat presentable, the error messages are way to criptic, expensive and Autodesk forces you to upgrade every year.

### "Great for Visualizing Architecture and MEP Routing"

October 31, 2019

4.0

It's very useful software allowing all disciplines to collaborate, and is a great tool for visualizing architecture in 3D

Pros

The option to walk through a space is more effective than trying to visualize a room's geometry from 2D floorplans and building sections. The option of taking a section through any part of a building can also help investigate awkward geometries and investigate interferences

Cons

It's very complex software, which could be taken as an indication of it's power. I had some frustration when the option to take a section was unavailable and i couldn't determine why. As with all software, if incorrect information is input into a model, incorrect information will come out, so if there are many people working on one model, there is a risk of outdated or contradictory information.

### "Revit software"

June 29, 2021

4.0

Multi use feature should be improved for better flow of the software for large team. Overall good software for architectural project and it is widely used and expected.

Pros

Revit is very competitive in terms of the features the software provides and it is widely used in architecture industry due to its ability to documents in both 3D and 2D drawings.

Cons

Collaboration tool is time consuming and not very efficient.

### "Must have Architects software"

November 2, 2020

4.0

Pros

Practically unlimited options, you can make and program any content in-house. Export options for most BIM and 3d modelling software. Import options for most common file types. Large number of mostly useful plugins. Visualization capabilities so you don't need to purchase separate software (you do need one to manipulate images, like Photoshop, though)

Cons

Low quality pre-made content (like furniture, doors, windows etc.). Revit formula commands are basic and sometime lacking features like parameters based on text. Very pricey and geared towards US markets. Improvements roll out every year but are mostly unnoticeable for most architects.

### "Revit Pros and Cons "

March 1, 2020

5.0

Excellent Software.

Pros

I prefer Revit over all architectural softwares. It gives me the ability to do all my architecture and construction work the same file. Never crashes and has a good development. Can handle a very big projects. Easy to learn the basics, but to be advanced with Revit It may take months. The most thing that I like about Revit that usually understands the work you're doing and saves your time.

Cons

Sometimes it takes so much time to learn a tool, It lacks many features with curved and convex buildings. You may get so many errors while working on Revit due to you have to you have to focus on tiny lines.

### "a must for construction documents"

July 13, 2022

5.0

Pros

I have been always using AutoCAD for my construction document drawings. I still use CAD but Revit makes it easier because I get to see my drawings in 3D instantly which helps to understand space better.

Cons

Revit is definitely for CD phase, not for the schematic design phases where you try different design options. Unless you have your construction method all figured out, Revit might not be for quick design studies.

### "3 in 1 CAD!"

August 30, 2019

4.0

Yes, It's true that it might be slow to start and hard to learn at the beginning, but once you get used to the UI interface and its tool, this app will let you work faster and more efficient but still keeping the details from 2D to 3D. When it comes to designing complex and plenty of buildings at the short amount of time, this software is the time saver!

Pros

Revit is basically an AutoCAD, BUT 3 in 1! It let you work in parallel between 2D and 3D (Floor plans, Elevation, Section, details and modelling) both are created at the same time, which not only useful for professionals engineering but also for student to work more efficient and faster. unlike any other CAD app, you can finish both 2D floor plans and 3D elevations or models on the same app! this app is also great for working in a team as you can share your project then working simultaneously!

Cons

If you're happen to be a beginner or never get used to this software especially if you're coming from 2D CAD apps like AutoCAD or standalone 3D modelling software like Sket\*\*\*p, the interface might be a little bit intimidating and complicated to start. Also, you have to set the construction details specification while working on the 2D like dimension and style for every single details like door or windows manually for the 3D results to work

Overall, Revit has boosted productivity in my design work since they are drawn in both 2D and 3D. Therefore, I would recommend Revit to any architectural or engineering design firm.

Pros

Revit is no doubt the best software out there for architectural design according to my experience.In comparison with Autocad ,Revit is much more user friendly and equipped with more features.Lets not forget that using Revit 2D and 3D drawings can be generated ,simultaneously unlike in Autocad.

Cons

I am yet to experience a considerable negativity in this software apart from requiring a little bit steeper learning curve .
