Integration Reviews

Integration sessions are recurring, typically weekly, team oriented (model) reviews to minimize surprises, validate scope, improve schedule and reduce costs. Frequently enhanced with interactive SmartBoard technology in a “big-room” environment, these sessions facilitate the architectural/engineering integration and design-to-construction transition - in contrast to a “throw it over-the-wall” hand-off with the waste (and frustration) that can accompany such silo based approaches. The objective is to optimize the flow and efficiency of the project – not the silos.

URLs in Revit

Universal Reference Locators also known as URLs allow one set of data to link to another, external set of data. When this is implemented in Revit the results can greatly extend the I in BIM. This guide walks the user through the correct use of URLs within the Revit environment.
