Challenge
One of the biggest challenges in this project was keeping up with the rapid pace of construction while simultaneously developing and updating a detailed Revit model. The building process was already underway, which meant constant changes and real-time coordination were necessary. We worked under a very tight deadline to deliver construction details, often having to respond to on-site issues immediately. The client was focused on reducing costs and expected quick, practical solutions directly on site. What set this project apart was the sheer volume of unique details required—almost every section of the building had its own custom solution. Frequent model updates and last-minute design changes created additional pressure, requiring flexibility, speed, and close communication with all parties involved.
Objective
The client’s main goal was to receive precise and reliable construction drawings, especially detailed solutions for complex building conditions, along with an up-to-date and accurate Revit model. From my side, the objective was to deliver high-quality drawings and a coordinated model at each stage of the project, ensuring all updates met tight deadlines while aligning with on-site developments.
Results
The project resulted in the delivery of a comprehensive set of detailed drawings, including plans, elevations, schematics, and construction details tailored to the building’s evolving conditions. The design met the client’s needs by providing fast, clear, and site-adapted solutions. Throughout the process, I streamlined the workflow by incorporating Revit add-ins and automation tools, which improved efficiency and significantly reduced drawing production time. The client responded positively, highlighting the clarity of the drawings and appreciating the speed and precision achieved through automation.
