SANS R1 500 (excl VAT) CERTIFICATION Software for Building Design and Construction Autodesk Revit software is built for Building Information Modelling (BIM), helping professionals design, build, and maintain higher-quality, more energyefficient buildings. Using the information-rich models created with Autodesk Revit software, architects, engineers, and construction firms can collaborate to make more informed decisions earlier in the design process to deliver projects more efficiently. Any design changes made in Revit models are automatically updated throughout the model, keeping designs and documentation coordinated and more reliable. Autodesk Revit includes features for architectural design, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, structural engineering and construction and is available as part of Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium and Ultimate editions, providing a comprehensive solution for the entire building project team., Revit MEP, Revit Structure Architecture Design Tools Revit software works the way architects and designers think, so you can develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs. BIM for Structural Design Revit software is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) solution for structural engineering firms, providing tools specific to structural design. MEP Engineering Revit software provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers with tools to design even the most complex building systems.

2 Fundamentals 3 Days Beginner An understanding of Architectural terminology is an asset. R5 500 (excl VAT) The Autodesk Revit software is a powerful Building Information Modelling (BIM) program that works the way architects think. The program streamlines the design process through the use of a central 3D model, where changes made in one view update across all views and on the printable sheets. This training course is designed to teach you the Autodesk Revit functionality as you would work with it throughout the design process. You begin by learning about the user interface and basic drawing, editing, and viewing tools. Then you learn design development tools including how to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, stairs and more. Finally, you learn the processes that take the model into the construction documentation phase. Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, the Autodesk Revit software is also complex. The objective of the Autodesk Fundamentals training course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training course focuses on basic tools that the majority of students need to work with the Autodesk Revit software. Topics covered include: Understand the purpose of Building Information Management (BIM) and how it is applied in the Autodesk Revit software. Navigating the Autodesk Revit workspace and interface. Working with the basic drawing and editing tools. Creating Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model. Creating a 3D building model with walls, curtain walls, windows, and doors. Adding floors, ceilings, and roofs to the building model. Creating component-based and custom stairs. Adding component features, such as furniture and equipment. Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules. Creating details. Revit MEP Fundamentals (if applicable) Revit Structure (if applicable) Revit Advanced

5 Revit Advanced 4 Days Advanced Fundamentals, Revit Structure Fundamentals, or Revit MEP Fundamentals training course. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, ie creating standard element, copying and moving elements, and creating and working with views, creating walls, roofs, and other objects, copying and moving objects. R5 650 (excl VAT) Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an approach to the entire building life cycle. Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, and Revit Structure are powerful BIM programs that support the ability to coordinate, update, and share design data with team members throughout the design, construction, and management phases of a building s life. A key component in managing the BIM process is to establish a company foundation for different types of projects by creating standard templates and custom elements. Having this in place makes the process of any new project flow smoothly and efficiently. The Revit Architecture software, using its powerful Building Information Modelling (BIM) engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes. You can then apply walls, roofs, and floors to them to continue designing. You can also access space planning tools for setting up areas for rooms and applying colours to them to show the connections. For presentations, you can create and render perspective views. This training course covers Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, and Revit Structure and it combines the following modules: BIM Management: Template and Family Creation Collaboration Tools Conceptual Tools Site and Structure Detailed topics are as follows: BIM Management: Template and Family Creation - Template and Family Creation training course is to enable students who have worked with the software to expand their knowledge in setting up office standards with templates that include annotation styles, pre-set views, sheets, and schedules, as well as creating custom element types and families.
