The Federal Reserve Board Puts Revit and BIM 360 Best Practices to the Test

The Federal Reserve Board is renovating, preserving, and expanding a pair of large, adjacent historic buildings at the same time. The joint venture FORTUS assembled a 200-person, 23-consultant design team for this project. The team went on to develop 40+ Revit models totaling more than 15 GB with an additional 4,295 scans of point cloud data. To facilitate such a large endeavor, FORTUS employs common best practices for Revit and BIM 360 software. In this class, we’ll discuss the best practices that held up, expose the ones that struggled, and reveal newly discovered ones. The best practices we’ll cover focus on project setup, collaboration and communication standards, division of models and teams, alternate design options, point clouds, building orientation, BIM 360 Model Coordination, and QA\QC tools.
