My First Revit Project - Part 2

The Dedication of a project is a special event, and today we can officially say that our team completed our first Revit job successfully in our office. We started designing & modeling three years ago, the school has been occupied since August 2008, withstood Hurricane Ike with some minor damage (walkway canopies) and today was the official dedication.

Below are some pictures I took as I walked the building after the ceremonies were over. One cannot help remembering the tough times and the lessons learned over the course of a project like this. I couldn't help noticing things that got built differently, but you have to let go at some point! There are things beyond one's control, and as long as you learn from those cases (if there's a lesson to be learned that is), then all is well that ends well. Thanks to everyone involved in making this project a success and I hope you enjoy the photos.

My First Revit Project - Part 1

You're probably saying...you got it backwards Dave! Well, not really. It was all calculated ;)

I planned to visit several projects last Wednesday and I wanted to get some good pictures as I walked my first Revit project. Everyone on the team is very happy about how the project is turning out. Since the learning curve was fast and furious, we're calling it a "painful success". It sure paved the road for other endeavors. You have to start somewhere!

This Junior High School is slated to open in August and we're hoping it will be at Substantial Completion in June. I'll keep this post devoid of text and let the images speak. You'll also see some sectioned shaded views and other Revit presentation materials. Feel free to post comments with questions if you want to know more.
