Autodesk Revit is the next step in building design collaboration amongst disciplines
Revit allows us to be at the forefront of mechanical design firms by keeping current with the evolution of building design software. Using Revit allows us to bid on more projects, larger projects and more complex projects than firms who only design in 2D systems like AutoCAD.
Pros
The ability to collaborate our mechanical and plumbing designs with the structural, architectural, electrical and civil disciplines in real-time and review the implications of service routing on the structure and the architectural considerations that must be made.
Cons
For mechanical design, there is a lack of residential duct fittings, register boots, diffusers, etc. and it's obviously geared towards commercial and larger project MEP designs. It would be very helpful if there were residential fittings included in this software.
