January 10, 2005—Autodesk, Inc., announced January 7 that commercial adoption of the Autodesk Revit software platform for building information modeling quadrupled during the 12 months ended third quarter fiscal 2005.
Simultaneously, Revit adoption in education doubled every month, driven by the demands of architectural educators to equip their students with the best possible software for thinking about building design. Such leading firms as WD Partners and Austin Veum Robbins Partners (AVRP) have chosen Autodesk Revit to help them create, manage, and share the best quality designs and incorporate building information modeling into their practices for a competitive edge.
The growth in use of Autodesk Revit is accelerating the adoption of building information modeling, a way of working that supports the continuous and immediate availability of the high quality, reliable, and internally consistent information about a building for the best possible design decision making at any point in the project, says Autodesk.
Architecture and design firms’ transition from drafting to building information modeling allows them to present sophisticated concepts, achieve greater productivity, and gain an advantage over firms using conventional drawing techniques. According to an Autodesk user study, more than half of firms using Autodesk Revit experienced productivity gains of greater than 50 percent, and 17 percent improved productivity more than 100 percent.
