Ultimate Revit Template - Imperial
Ultimate Revit Template - Imperial
The Ultimate Revit Template is a pre-structured project template that takes full advantage of BIM workflows to optimize project production. This template specifically integrates deep occupancy code review using scheduled IBC code requirements, enhanced view template filters, and advanced analytical tags, along with cost analysis schedules to provide accurate cost estimate early in the design and development stages of the project.
BIM firms easily charge thousands of dollars for this level of development and integration. We are a fraction of that cost! We deeply integrated automations so users will waste less time manually updating multiple views or troubleshooting the same issue with each project.
Features included
Powerful Code Review Analysis
Code review has always been a manual task and requires designers to dedicate hours of back-and-forth between code requirements, scope adjustments, and manual updates. There is a better way!
This template specifically integrates occupancy code review using scheduled IBC code requirements, enhanced view template filters, and advanced analytical tags to automate code review. This level of automated analysis will easily cost a firm 150-200+ hours to develop. With the average cost of a BIM manager? Forget about it. The actual timeline could be several months! All those wasted billable hours across multiple projects!
Comprehensive Occupancy Egress Analysis
Revit natively includes features to analyzing spaces for simple area and volume calculations with coordinating tagging information. We took it a step further and added a larger set of analytical tools to automate occupancy egress calculations and optimize visualization of these spaces. We include automated schedules, smart analytical tags, and enhanced view template filters so any user can get a birds eye view of every space.
Automated Plumbing Calculations
Tired of recross-referencing plumbing code with revised scope only to find out the wrong occupancy was applied to a room or spaces were double counted? No more! Our template integrates plumbing fixture schedules that automatically calculate the new required fixture counts without needing to manually cross-reference and recalculate spaces!
Zoning Land Use Analytics
Client needs multiple design options to showcase the optimal developed property? Easily set up zoning land use diagrams and automated schedules showcasing your latest zoning addendum proposal.
Automated Parking Calculations
Easily generate the latest parking count requirements (standard and accessible stalls) for committees with schedules and diagrams no matter the scope change!
Light & Vent Identification & Calculations
Ensure your project meets or exceeds the standards for sunlight and fresh air in your next mixed use occupancy development.
Cost Analysis & Quantities Schedules
Construction costs have steadily increased but over the past couple of years at an average of 2-5% while construction costs spiked above 14% in 2022. Now more than ever designers need to adapt better cost analysis techniques earlier on in the development lifecycle. Which is why we set up cost analysis schedules to provide better cost forecasting to reduce client sticker shock once construction begins. Easily update base unit pricing as costs increase.
Structured Views & Sheets
Every project is different in size and scope. What should not change is how you organize and present drawings. Following the National CAD standard for naming convention and organization, you will be able to keep drawings consistent as your projects grow. We set up multiple sheets legends so you can immediately place views from day one.
Organized Line & Hatching
It’s always late in the project you realize there are not enough line types and hatch patterns in your current project, and it always eats up more time than necessary to set up properly. We did all the hard work setting up and troubleshooting view scales so you do not have to.
Clean Annotation Graphics
Ever opened a project that had text options ‘1/8” Arial 2, 3, copy1,copy1copy2, …’ with inconsistent sizes and parameters? We populated the most popular text sizes and dimensions that scale well for both digital and printed legibility to stop this from happening to you.
Several Tagging Style Options
Not every firm is in love with the standard Revit tags available. We get it, firms should show off their own unique design flair. That is why we developed a larger set of tag options from views, callouts, sections, doors, windows, etc. so users can easily mix and match their own style.
Prebuilt Assemblies & Details
Revit assemblies (walls, floors, & roofs) are crucial tools needed to finally save time and create accurate details. We generated a set of robust assemblies with thicknesses and materials assigned so you can model your project with the correct assemblies the first time. This template includes three different types of presenting, organizing, and updating assemblies to match a range of styles. We also include a large set of assemblies with assigned materials and definitions for fast changes.
Setup View Templates
One of the biggest workflow timesavers in Revit are auto applied view templates. Every time you generate a new floor plan, elevation, or callout details Revit applies one of our many prebuilt view templates. Our view templates are a collection of quality industry presentation standards so your drawings will always look good! We also include a walkthrough in the user’s guide for how you can change your presets to apply your favorites.
Rich Note Tagging Options
Text notes with arrows work for well in certain situations but is time consuming to generate, time sink during QAQC reviews, and can make the drawings look busy. Our template is set up with keynotes to codify your plan so you can generate a set of standard notes that can be used across all projects while maintaining one file.
We also integrated Note Blocks and tagging families for users who prefer to maintain notes inside the model instead of a separate text file.
Free Bonus Content
Pro Family Samples
On top of everything we include a sample families from multiple pro series collections so users can get their nose to the grindstone on their next project while also showcasing what additional value can offer!
Welcome Page
Free of charge we included a welcome page title block to keep your entire team up to date on all project related information, such as, major modifications to the file, significant end dates, or time since last central file audit.
Detailed Accessibility Diagrams
We will also throw in a free set of our accessibility diagrams and notes! Accessibility is critical aspect of every design project. We took the liberty to generate a quality set of accessibility details and notes that are good practice standards to include in every permit and construction set. You no longer need to remind the contractor, for the umpteenth time, about accessible clearances.
Beautiful Title Block Set
As a final bonus, we supplied a set of our fully featured Modern Title Blocks. The collection features a simplified modern design, that will certainly make your drawings pop on site. We take full advantage of Revit workflows and automated the project information, revision history and view scaling. We also snuck in a few more organizational features that are laid out in the included users guide.
