Haven’t adopted BIM yet?  Check out this short article that quite nicely touches on the key points of consideration for BIM in your firm.  Why Building Information Modeling? http://www.reedconstructiondata.com/articles/read/why-building-information-modeling/

 

So you taken the plunge into Revit and are in the process of using or at least making a valiant attempt.  Once you understand how to use Revit and you start getting going with it, the major next hurdle is content, or lack thereof.  You need an object in your project that doesn't exist in Revit (for example, a water fountain or a boiler or a roof top unit etc.).  Well off you go looking for it or trying to create it.  Check out "You are Wasting Your Money" http://www.reedconstructiondata.com/articles/read/you-are-wasting-your-money/ for some ideas on how to improve this aspect of Revit'ing.
