Preparing Schedule & Cost Estimation for a building using REVIT

1) The shortcut keys in Revit for following tasks are:-

1. Using 3D model create a section box = BX
2. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout =CS
3. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views = TL
4. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view = EOD
5. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view = VR
6. To select the previously selected items = CTRL + <
7. To add annotations to the model views = DI
8. To bring the model elements in line = AL
9. To rotate the model elements = RO
10. To move an object to another location = MV
11. To copy a model element = CO
12. To mirror an element about an axis = MM
13. To create an array of model elements = AR

2) AIM: To creating a schedule of walls, doors, windows and materials using Revit application

PROCEDURE:

• GO to revit and open the week 6 or week 8 drawing file.
• Go to ground floor level.
• Go to View tab
• Click Schedule/Quantities option
• 
• New dialogue box will appear there Click Walls
• 
• If needed rename it and click ok.
• Add the scheduled fields you want to show in schedule.
• Here am choosing Assembly description, area, cost, type, count
• 
• After selecting all the needed feilds then press ok.
• After added all the scheduled fields the screen will show the schedule of the wall
• If we change anything in the field click edit field
• Add or remove any property as our wish
• 
• if we need grand total of the material
• Go to Sorting/Grouping option
• Click tick mark in grand total option
• Click ok. After assigning the grand total option from grouping tool the screen will show the total material inorder to our project.
• By doing the same procedure above create window, door, material schedule also.

Door schedule:

Window schedule:

Material takeoff:

3) AIM: To Preparing a schedule report for area and volume of each room in the project using Revit application

PROCEDURE:

• Open the required drawing as per mentioned.
• Go to Schedule/Quantities in view tab
• Click Rooms
• 
• Add the scheduled fields you want to show in schedule.
• Here am choosing Assembly description, area, number, volume count
• Click ok
• 
• After added all the scheduled fields the screen will show the room area and volume in the schedule

RESULT:

4) AIM: To creating a Total Cost of Materials and Individual Material Take off using Revit application.

PROCEDURE:

• Go to revit and open the drawing of which we want to make the estimation.
• Go to View tab
• Click Schedule/Quantities option
• Choose Wall and add relevent fields
• 
• Once the table is formed now we have to put the formulas.
• Click Calculated tool on the ribbon
• choose type as Currency
• Write the formula as (material volume/1ft^3) * (Cost)
• 
• After creating a formula the screen will shows a total cost of the wall
• Similarly do the same procedure for windows, furnitures, doors
• 
• Door Costs:
• 
• Furniture Cost:
•
