Thesis Final Presentation

Zack Creach created three models using Autodesk Revit 2009 for a building project to create an estimate without using physical paper. The models included structural, architectural, and MEP models. Creach exported schedules from Revit into Excel to subtotal costs. These subtotals were input into a main estimate spreadsheet along with assigned labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor prices. Renderings were also created from the Revit models and compared to actual photos of the building. Creach reflected on learning time management, pre-task planning, and MEP systems, and suggested changes such as modeling a smaller project or sitework in Revit.
