Research Topic: "Exploring function and features about Revit in Construction Industry"

Research Questions: 

1. why did we choose Autodesk Revit?

2. how and where can we get information about the technology?

3. what are the functions and features about Revit?

The reason for choosing Revit as our research tool is that it is widely used in the construction and architecture industry for its ability to create realistic 3D visualizations and unite multiple datasets and file types, making it a versatile tool. Research prompt: “what are the key features and functions in Autodesk Revit software” on Copilot and Google

Autodesk Revit is a software for Building Information Modeling (BIM) that allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to plan, design, and manage building projects (Autodesk Revit, 2025). According to the same website, it provides features such as Parametric Modeling, Multidisciplinary Collaboration, 3D Visualization, Automatic Documentation, and vice versa. The software models are intelligent and interconnected where changes automatically update throughout the project. It brings in architecture, structure and Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) design into one platform to perform a collaboration. Revit enables streamlined workflow, improves design accuracy, real-time updates and supports construction planning. The use of Autodesk Revit improves efficiency of a project and brings collaboration to multiple teams. It also effectively delivers dynamic and visually rich design walkthroughs, ensuring clear communication and effective project delivery (Autodesk Revit, 2025). Despite its popularity, Revit's complex learning path and high licensing costs limit its accessibility to smaller architectural firms.
