How Revit Automation Saved Tens of Thousands of Working Hours at MRV&CO

Using building information modeling (BIM) in 100% of the designs at MRV&CO—the largest construction company of residential towers in Latin America—we designed 200,000 housing units in five years in an ecosystem of 400+ internal designers and external consultants. We trained ourselves to develop BIM automations through the Revit API in order to maintain the quality of information and process optimization, and from a data-oriented management perspective, we define the processes with the greatest potential for ROI, linking to team goals. Using agile frameworks with an interdisciplinary team and assertive data collection to target high-impact points, improvements, and corrections, we automate more than 50 activities related to the modeling process, and 130 to the model and code-checking process in various project disciplines, scaling up BIM methodology amid MRV&CO’s digital transformation.
