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

2. AIM:- 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

PROCEDURE:-

STEP-1:-

• INITIALLY open the architectural model created previously
• go to view tab
• than schedules and schedule quantities

STEP-2:-

• Choose the wall category whose schedule is to be formed

STEp-3:-

• Select the parameters to be considered for the walls

step-4:-WALLS schedule is prepared as shown below

STEP-5 :- PREPAring the Door schedule

STEP-7:-

• Now, select the parameters to be considered for doors.

STEP-8

• Door schedule is given as:

STEP-9 :- PREPARING the window schedule

STEP-10 :- select the parameters for the windows

STEP_11 :- window schedule is prepared as shown below

STEP-12:- PREPARING schedule for any material - concrete /wood

STEP-13 :- preparing floor material takeoff

STEp-14 :- select the parameters required for floor

STEP-15 :- FLoor material takeoff isschedule is prepared

3) AIM:-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.

PROCEDURE:-

STEP-1:-

• GO to view tab
• THAN open schedule and schedule quantities

STEP-2 :-SELECT the parameters required for the room schedule

STEP-3 :- room schedule is prepared as shown below

4) AIM:- 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

PROCEDURE:-

STEP-1:-

• INITIALLY open the architectural model created previously
• go to view tab
• than schedules and schedule quantities

STEP-2:-

• Choose the wall category whose schedule is to be formed

STEp-3:-

• Select the parameters to be considered for the walls
• 

STEp-4 :- cost parameter is to be added

• TOTal cost is also to be added
• calculate the quantities by given belwo formula

step-5:- wall schedule with total cost is prepared

STEP-6 :-

EP-9 :- PREPARING the window schedule

STEP-7 :- select the parameters for the windows

STEP_8 :- window schedule is prepared as shown below

STEP-9:- PREPAring the Door schedule

STEP-10:-

• Now, select the parameters to be considered for doors.

STEP-11:-

• Door schedule is given as:

STEP-12:- PREPARING schedule for any material - concrete /wood

STEP-13 :- preparing floor material takeoff

STEp-14 :- select the parameters required for floor

STEp-15:_ adding cost parameter along with total cost

calculate by formaula given belwo

STEp-16 :-

• PREPARING SCHEDULE FOR furniture material takeoff

STEP -17 :- select all the parameters and prepare the schedule

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
