Revit

Pros: I like how everything is integrated together between the different disciplines when drafting. Any changes made to the mechanical systems (ie, location) will reflect also on the electrical and architectural plans.

Cons: I wish they would have more mechanical HVAC selections to choose from when doing a load calculation of the building. That way, we would not have to use another third party software to do load calculations and just do everything in Revit.

Pros: Lo que más valoro de Revit como gestor BIM en un entorno MEP es su capacidad de centralizar toda la información del proyecto en un único modelo federado. La coordinación multidisciplinar en tiempo real entre los modelos de arquitectura, estructura, mecánica, eléctrica y plomería reduce drásticamente los conflictos detectados en obra. Además, la parametrización de familias MEP permite automatizar la extracción de planillas de cuantificación, lo que mejora enormemente la precisión en las estimaciones y reduce los errores humanos en la documentación técnica. La interoperabilidad con herramientas como Navisworks y el ecosistema Autodesk facilita flujos de trabajo BIM maduros y auditables.

Cons: La principal frustración como gestor BIM es el rendimiento del software ante modelos MEP de gran escala. Los tiempos de carga, la lentitud al trabajar con archivos vinculados y los frecuentes crashes en equipos de trabajo colaborativo (worksharing) impactan directamente en la productividad del equipo. A esto se suma una curva de aprendizaje pronunciada para especialistas MEP que no tienen formación BIM previa, lo que implica una inversión importante en capacitación. Las actualizaciones anuales también generan problemas de compatibilidad entre versiones, dificultando la colaboración con clientes o subcontratistas que trabajan con versiones distintas del software.

Pros: The software is able to detect areas of conflict when developing the model. This will aid in eliminating expense change orders during construction.

Cons: Differently the upfront costs to implement the software into the design process. New powerful computers are a must along with competent staff.

Pros: I love the way it automatically produces the schedules and estimate the material that helps in real time budgeting of the project and meet the deadlines.

Cons: It usually work with large and complex projects that needs special skills and technical knowledge to work with the software.

Pros: It's compatibility with all the disciplines, mechanical, architectural, civil, landscaping etc. also the functionality to help with designs

Cons: The model has to be built perfectly to allow all the designs to run smoothly. When using it to design you really need a lot of experience

Pros: Di Revit quello che mi è piaciuto di più è la logica BIM vera, non solo il disegno. Tutto è collegato

Cons: Potente ma rigido: curva di apprendimento ripida, famiglie complesse, prestazioni pesanti, grafica poco intuitiva e costo elevato.

Pros: It is extremely dynamic and smart. It is the combination of AutoCAD and Sketchup in one. We can visualize the 3D while doing 2D. It's that smart and easy to work with. Proper value for Money.

Cons: For whatever reason, I disliked Revit while doing interior design. It felt too complicated while doing interior while doing exterior it is completely opposite.

Pros: I enjoy it's function ability of how every aspect works as one model. Plans, Sections and Schedules all work together and change together as modifications are made. Visualization and documentation also work in the same way.

Cons: Very steep learning curve along with it's Performance and Stability issues can make it difficult to operate by someone that is not sufficiently trained and has experience.

Pros: When you need accurate BIM packages or manage materials take-offs, Revit is the essential. It allows great coordination between you and the construction service.

Cons: The software requires high performance, yet you may face slowness, especially with large architectural files. It also takes a long time to understand every aspect of using it well.

Pros: O fato de ser Bim já é o motivo principal, poder denhar a planta baixa ja tendo tudo parametrizado e com as elevações automaticas, façilita e acelera muito o fluxo de trabalho.

Cons: O valor da Licensa poderia ser um pouco mais flexível para iniciantes, e a curva de aprendizado mais simples, bem como modelagem 3d, poderia ser mais objetiva como é em alguns concorentes.

Pros: I've personally been using revit for years and its unmatched. Currently there is not another complete program that competes with this. Industry standard. Love working on something one thing and it being reflected and reused 4-5 times in BIM and other type of informations. Truly complete product.

Cons: There was a problem my team encountered with the few customizations regarding visibility and visually impaired team members. Some members couldnt see blue very well and there are some things that you cant change in the program.

Pros: I really like how Revit makes project design and collaboration so much easier. The 3D modeling tools are powerful, and it’s great that changes update everywhere automatically. It saves a lot of time and reduces mistakes.

Cons: The only downside is that it can feel heavy on the computer and takes time to fully learn, but once you get used to it, it’s worth it.

Pros: It does everything I could possibly want it to. I am constantly learning new features and and shortcuts. It is relatively easy to learn and vary well organized. It integrates seamlessly with a lot of other reprograms, even outside of Autodesk's own programs. Sharing and collaborating on projects is also made easy with Revit.

Cons: It can be harder than some programs to learn at first as the sheer amount of features can be over whelming. As this is a result of the needs that we have for the program, I don't hold this against Revit, although I do wish there was more tutorial options as I do find myself searching online or reaching out to collogues for tips and explanations of some features.

Pros: Collaboration of the different trades such as electrical, mechanical, structural, & fire protection etc is the best feature that Revit can offer.

Cons: Collaboration with Site Civil is still something that Revit lacks today. Site Civil uses Civil3D as their main go-to software and interoperability between Civil3d and Revit is something that doesn’t work well. You have to find a work around to make it work. Using NWC exports, or IFC exports works but does not carry all the information.

Pros: Being able to work in both 2d and 3d simultaneously is what I like the most about revit. I also like working on a shared file in the office which helps deliver projects faster

Cons: That the sorting/grouping when scheduling is limited which causes varies in some fields. This means taking the schedule to excel and filling in missing information manually.

Pros: What I like the most about autodesk revit is the ease of use for creating drawings and 3d representation,

Cons: What I like the least about autodesk revit is sometimes files are too large and cannot be opened on computers that are not capable.

Pros: Very good with analysis complicated structures. Also, Revit uses Finite Element Method which helpful to visual the forces along the members.

Cons: There is no significant downside of using Revit. It’s widely used in all countries around the world.

Pros: It is relatively easy to work with. It is amazing how with just working in level, you can visualize the work in 3D in the same time. It works easily with render plugin such as D5 Render, which I use

Cons: It is complicated to edit complexed families. Some elements can be locked or are inflexible. The learning process takes time but once mastered it is very intuitive. The license price is high

Pros: coordination between trades/consultants, being able to see issues before they arrive in the field

Cons: Automatic wall joins, sometimes Revit does thing that are not options in the real world and they make it hard to override.

Pros: Works great for modeling or designing of buildings

Cons: Took a little while to understand the controls

Pros: Amazing 3D drafting tools with built in trade tools

Cons: Very technical to use. Training is required.

Pros: Excellent for our 3D modling staff for production of structural steel shop drawings etc

Cons: Comparatively its a bit expensjve but it also is worth the costas it.produces very high quality results

Pros: As ferramentas de modelação de terreno e a integração de pormenores de construção permitem desenvolver projetos de paisagismo precisos e realistas.

Cons: A limitação na personalização de elementos específicos de paisagismo pode dificultar a criação de alguns detalhes.
