The Workflow

🗂️
Step 1
Revit Setup

Linked-model structure across 5 disciplines — shared coordinates, levels, grids, and worksets.

🏗️
Step 2
System Modeling

Each discipline models its real building systems against the shared setup from Step 1.

⚠️
Step 3🔒
Clash Coordination

Hard and soft clash detection across the federated model, resolved via coordination meetings.

📋
Step 4🔒
Schedules

Live, model-driven room/finish and equipment schedules that stay accurate through model changes.

📄
Step 5🔒
Sheet Production

The construction document set produced directly from the coordinated model.

Step 6🔒
QA Review

The final pre-issue model QA pass — integrity, consistency, and standards compliance.
