    Description

    BuildX Studio designs and builds spaces that promote dignity, health, and environmental comfort in Kenya. Time and cost efficiency are key to keeping up with the pace of rapid development in the region. With the introduction of Revit software, the industry has experienced a digital revolution allowing for multidisciplinary worksharing through central models hosted on an individual firm’s local access networks or through Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software. Recently, BuildX conducted a survey to determine whether it should migrate its entire design team from AutoCAD software into Revit. We used two projects for comparison. Through a short time-lapse video, you’ll see firsthand the two-times more efficient process with Revit. A housing project in AutoCAD took 3,115 hours, while a similar project in Revit took just 1,478 hours. Join us to hear about the powerful outcomes BuildX experienced through migrating to Revit, how we upskilled the team, and how your firm can benefit too.
