Custom Tools asks
“What specific tool should we build?”
Explore Custom Revit Tools02 / BIM WORKFLOW AUTOMATION
Less repetitive work.
More reliable BIM workflows.
Identify bottlenecks and automate repeatable tasks across modelling, documentation, data handling and project delivery.
THE QUESTION / TOOL OR PROCESS?
Look beyond
a single command.
Workflow Automation asks
“How can this complete process work better?”
The scope includes the handoffs, dependencies and decisions around the task.
INVESTIGATION / POSSIBLE WORKFLOW AREAS
Follow the work
from input to output.
These are areas to investigate, not a fixed bundle of existing integrations. The actual implementation follows the feasibility review.
Model data
Review how parameters and schedules are collected, transformed and checked, and where repeated entry occurs.
Documentation
Examine the steps around views, sheets and deliverables, including naming and project-specific exceptions.
Repetitive modelling
Identify repeatable operations and the decisions that still need engineering judgement.
External data and files
Review Revit, spreadsheet and file handoffs. Proposed connections depend on the actual formats, permissions and systems available.
Quality control
Define checks, expected results and how exceptions are reported for human review.
CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAM / NOT AN IMPLEMENTED PRODUCT
An example flow.
With human review.
A conceptual data workflow showing where extraction, validation and review might sit. Actual steps and responsibilities would be agreed for the project.
- Revit model
- Data extraction
- Validation
- Structured report
- Human review
