Preparing Schedule & Cost Estimation for a building using REVIT

1) Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below
           a. Using 3D model create a section box
           b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout
           c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views
           d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view
           e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view
           f. To select the previously selected items
           g. To add annotations to the model views
           h. To bring the model elements in line
           i. To rotate the model elements
           j. To move an object to another location
           k. To copy a model element
           l. To mirror an element about an axis
          m. To create an array of model elements

ANS--- THE SHORTCUT KEY FOR-

           a. Using 3D model create a section box is BX
           b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout is CS
           c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views is TL
           d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view is VG
           e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view is VR
           f. To select the previously selected items is CTRL+C
           g. To add annotations to the model views is DI
           h. To bring the model elements in line is AL
           i. To rotate the model elements is RO
           j. To move an object to another location is MO
           k. To copy a model element is CO
           l. To mirror an element about an axis is MM
          m. To create an array of model elements is AR

2) Using Revit and the project used from week 6 to 8 prepare a schedule for the following
          a. Walls
          b. Doors
          c. Windows
          d. Material – Concrete/Wood

AIM- TP CREATE WALLS DOORS WINDOWS AND MATERAIL SCHEDULE 

PROCEDURE- 

OPEN THE MODEL 

GO TO VIEW TAB THEN CLICK ON SCHEDULE 

GO TO VIEW TAB CLICK ON SCHEDULE THEN ON MATERIAL TAKEOFF 

3) Using Revit Calculate area and volume of each room in the model with appropriate room tags applied to each room. Prepare a schedule report for area and volume of each room.

AIM- TO PREPARE ROOM SCHEDULE

PROCEDURE- 

OPEN THE MODEL 

GO TO VIEW TAB THEN CLICK ON SCHEDULE 

4) Using the same schedule using the unit cost rate for materials available in the internet, prepare total cost of materials used in the project
          a. Total Cost of Materials
          b. Individual Material Take off

AIM- TO DO TOTAL COST OF MATERAIL TAKEOFF

PROCEDURE-  GO TO MATERAIL TAKEOFF SCHEDULE 

CLICK ON CALCULATE 

INSERT TOTAL COST COLUMN

CALCULATE USING FORMULA (VOULME/1 m^3)*COST

5) Using the concept of Visual Programming discussed in class, list a flowchart for the following scenario
          a. How to decide framings for a structure using Dynamo ?
          b. If there is no water coming from the pipes
          c. If request for money from client has been declined for the project

  a. How to decide framings for a structure using Dynamo ?

TYPE OF STRUCTURE

   FRAMING OPTIONS 

        FRAMING OPTIONS 1

        FRAMING OPTIONS 2

        FRAMING OPTIONS 3 

    LOAD CALCULATIONS

    STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

    DESIGN FEASIBILITY

EVALUATION OPTION FEASIBILITY

SELECT OPTION 

b. If there is no water coming from the pipes

WATER PROBLEMS 

FIND WATER SOURCE

PROBLEMS FINDING

•   CHECK FOR BLOCKAGE 
•   CHECK TAP CONNECTIONS 
•   SOURCE SUPPLY PROBLEMS 

TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS 

•     CLEAR THE PIPES BLOCK 
•     REPAIR / REPLACE THE TAP
•     CONTACT SUPPLY  COMPANY 

  c. If request for money from client has been declined for the project

PROJECT EXECUTION 

REQUESTED FOR MONEY 

REQUEST REJECT

 CONTACT CLIENT

REASON FOR REJECTION

EVALUTION AND ANALYSIS 

REQUEST AGAIN

6) List the parameters associated with each model element
         a. Wall
         b. Floor
         c. Door
         d. Window
         e. Table
         f. Building
