Prefabrication is increasingly in the news as companies strive to get control of escalating costs, the labor shortage, tighter schedules, and job site safety. Prefabrication provides better working conditions, more precise materials usage, easier staging, better labor coordination, and increased safety.

Revit is a great investment if your team is looking to scale your fab and prefab efforts. Your virtual design and construction (VDC) team can create 3D models and easily share them with Revit’s in-app communication. Models can then be used to plan and coordinate the individual components which need to be completed in the shop.

Revit can be used to generate detailed fabrication and assembly drawings, which can be used by prefabrication manufacturers to produce the necessary components. The software can also be used to track the fabrication process and to manage the delivery of prefabricated components to the construction site.

In this video case study with Cleveland Electric, you learn how their organization was able to scale their fab shop by leveraging the power of Revit with EVOLVE.

Prefabrication is a natural fit for MEP trades. It improves productivity, lowers project costs, reduces schedule time, improves quality and safety, and improves recruiting response. Revit takes the best parts of traditional fabrication workflows and combines them with the best platform for the BIM process. It can be made even simpler through the use of EVOLVE.

EVOLVE provides the essential tools to take a Revit fabrication model to manufacture and install with streamlined production.

Additional modules are available to specifically support the BIM-to-shop-to-field relationship. One would be EVOLVE. Read on to learn more about how EVOLVE pairs with Revit.
