Book Description
Increasing Autodesk Revit Productivity for BIM Projects takes a hands-on approach to implementing Revit effectively for everyone curious about this new and exciting methodology.
Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, this Revit book begins by explaining the principles of productivity in Revit and data management for BIM projects.
You’ll get to grips with the primary BIM documentation to start a BIM project, including the contract, Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), and BIM Execution Plan (BEP/BXP).
Later, you’ll create a Revit template, start a Revit project, and explore the core functionalities of Revit to increase productivity. Once you’ve built the foundation, you’ll learn about Revit plugins and use Dynamo for visual programming and Power BI for analyzing BIM information.
By the end of this book, you’ll have a solid understanding of Revit as construction and design software, how to increase productivity in Revit, and how to apply multiple workflows in your project to manage BIM.

The book provides real practical advice on how to organize a Revit project from the basics: File sizes, project browser, view templates, types of parameters, etc. It also touches in industry best practises in collaborating with other disciplines and on the use of worksets and linked views. I like that it focuses on the importance of planning data management at the beginning of project as a key point for being successful. Last section of the book highlights the main plug-ins that are very useful for speed up management of the project. It gives an introduction to dynamo and power bi and the multiple options both provide in enhancing productivity. It doesn’t include in depth guidance or tips on best practise in family creation, but that its an extensive topic that might require a new book just for that.

I am an MEP BIM Manager with 15 years in the technical drawing and BIM industry and I can recommend this book to everyone who would like to expand their knowledge of how to implement BIM in their place of work. This book not only explains the fundamentals of BIM through Revit but also highlights the best practices and workflows to trim the fat off common Revit problems and inaccuracies. Each section is carefully illustrated and explained in detail and I was easily able to follow the Authors steps.

Regardless on whether you’re new or knowledgeable to BIM/Revit, BIM Manager or Architect, you will certainly find something new or insightful in it.
It covers lots of ground through its ten chapters as it takes us through the many aspects of working in BIM using Revit. From high-level topics such as BIM Implementation and Training to more finely detailed tips and tricks on Revit best practice.
Putting all this together in such a clear and succint format was no small feat.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge, Fabio and Decio.

Practical and inciteful book showing the authors years of experience in delivering BIM projects around the globe. Covering process, documentation and technical know how and showing you how to avoid the pitfalls many fall into when starting on their BIM journey. Aligning to the UK BIM Framework standards for the UK. Comprehensive and clearly explained at every stage. A useful resource for all levels of reader for BIM Newbie to experienced BIM Manager, Architect or Engineer.

very practical book
by Mr AZ Baginski
Very well written position. It’s recommended to have some experience with Revit to find out how helpful this book might be. As we all experiencing different problems with this software, after reading this book you know how to approach a lot of them. Very good for BIM managers to set up rules to follow in BIM process, avoiding unnecessary delays and troubles. Downside is that you need access to different softwares to utilize this book fully, but even wihtout them, you find a lot of helpful tips.

Everybody in the BIM world should read this book and we would be all able to perform smoothly in this collaborative work-environment.
I enjoyed this book a lot and I already started to implement the best practices learned!
Highly recomended
