AUTODESK REVIT
Introduction
It is a BIM software developed by Autodesk and allows users to create models and drawings in 3D and
annotate the model with 2D drafting elements. The key element in Revit is its relationship between our
2D and 3D drawings unlike other design software where the user has to produce the 2D and 3D drawings
separately. 03

❏ Projects can be viewed on mobile devices
❏ 3D repo supports over 40 of the most commonly used
3D file formats so companies can host projects in any
file format
AUTODESK BIM 360
Introduction
It is a cloud base software which designed as construction tool. It delivers project faster by providing first
hand information. It also ensure the accuracy and availability of information and reduce data loss across
phases.
03
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
04
❏ It supports 2D plans or 3D workflow ❏ Privacy of project might be an issue
❏ Minimise paper-based process which can save time and ❏ Training is required
reduce risk of losing information ❏ Software must always up to date
❏ Has the ability of online and offline access
❏ Enables one-time data entry and better instructions are
provided at the building site

OTHERS STAGE
What happen during other stages?
After the construction stage has been completed, the ‘Handover & Close Out’ phase and ‘In Use’ phase will
follow through, according to RIBA (2013) Plan of Work. A quantity surveyor needs to prepare the assessment
of building and handover the building contract as the contract between client and contractor has ended.

informations of the drawings, procurement details and other specification easily
interrelate into the model
BENEFITS
2. Aids to various services - For example, fire department can locate potential
failures and collisions of the building as it can be illustrated on to BIM for forensic
analysis. Thus, creating a higher quality and more sustainable building.
1. Strains Relationships - The use of the modelling may affect the relationship
CONSTRAINTS between the contractor and architect. BIM allows the contractor to be more
actively participating in the design process and increasingly difficult for them to
claim as it relies upon errors and omissions in a drawing. Traditionally contractors
do not play a significant role in the design phase.
OTHERS STAGE
CAD MEASUREMENT
BENEFITS 1. Practicality - CAD Measurement will automatically learn the dimensions

and create specialized libraries from real projects to enhance for future
reference in estimating
CONSTRAINTS 1. Costly - The initial price of the software can be pricey and time-consuming
especially with new updates which means the operator needs to acquire
new skills. More so, computer hardware has to be updated in order to run
smoothly with the modelling as it consumes large amounts of processing
power program.
OTHERS STAGE
MANUAL MEASUREMENT
BENEFITS 1. Cost Effective - The traditional method is the most cost-effective way to go
as both BIM and CAD Measurement has to be purchased. It does not
require any use of technology and very little training is needed as
graduates have been utilizing manual work during their undergraduate
studies.
CONSTRAINTS 1. Human error - This method will take up a considerable amount of time and
energy. This includes overlooking at important elements that perhaps
could have been left out.
