Project Manager’s Class for Revit-All Disciplines

Commercial - RAC 2010 - PM 101

Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process for exploring a project’s key physical and financial characteristics digitally—before it’s been built. The CDV Revit Architecture Foundations course is developed to do just that—in a comprehensive, hands-on way, train students to use Revit Architecture's documentation and verification tools to deliver a higher degree of coordination and efficiency in project design decisions and documentation.

Objectives and Prerequistes 

Course Objective: The CDV Project Manager’s Class for Revit is a course for PM’s of all trades and is ideally held at the start of the Revit Project. Using both Revit and Design Review, the PM will open their project document set, review all the sheets, check dimensions, add "red-mark” notes and clouds, save them and return them to the production staff within Revit. This class is not intended as "technical training" but instead as an overview of Revit and how the PM would interact with the design team and access the model both in 2D and 3D for coordination purposes.

Duration: 1 Days
