Revit MEP Foundations

Building project teams are beginning to demand the use of Building Information Modeling. Revit MEP software is a critical component of a true BIM solution. The Foundations course examines the basic differences between modeling in Revit and standard CAD documentation. The student is then taken through the basics of an entire Revit project and shown the capabilities of the Revit model. At the end of the course, the student will be able to start work on a Revit project or become a useful member of a Revit project team.

Who should take this course?
Mechanical and electrical engineers, technicians, designers, project managers who want to gain a basic understanding of BIM with Revit.

Who should not take this course?
CAD users who want to replace their current CAD program with Revit. Revit is more than a CAD application; it is the core of a true Building Information Modeling direction and this course sets the foundation for its many benefits.

Prerequisites:
None, although basic computer application knowledge is a benefit. In addition, knowledge of building technology and construction is valuable

What you should expect after taking this course:
Participate on a Revit project team; understand the potential and functionality of the Revit platform.

Follow-up:
As part of a complete Revit implementation, the foundations course should be followed up by work on a project and eventually in-depth training based on the needs of that project.
