3	Industry Trends Changing Business Environment Increase in design-build Sustainable design challenging conventional building practices New creative business processes Risk transfer from owner to AEC partner
4	Business Challenges Delivering high-quality documents in an increasingly competitive business environment Satisfying clients who expect more for less Gaining more time for design through efficient documentation Winning new and repeat business
5	Product Solution Building Information Modeling Integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and operation Create coordinated, digital design information and documentation. Predict performance, appearance, and cost. Deliver the project faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact.
6	Product Solution Parametric Change Management
7	Problem . Information available is inadequate to fully support decision making at all phases of the project. Full consequences of changes to the design are difficult to determine. Your design thinking is difficult to communicate to the client.
8	Solution Works the Way You Think Improved design collaboration within your office. All members of the project team work together using the same information. Better design insight through in-process visualization and analysis. Documents and presentations are more clear and complete.
9	Customer Success Story Little Diversified Architectural Consulting “Revit Architecture is changing how we think and respond to clients. It’s also making us better designers.” —Jay Holland Project Manager, Little Diversified Architectural Consulting
10	Customer Success Story Wuhan Architectural Design Institute “The entire work process of Revit [Architecture] is well adapted to human thinking, as it uses computing power to complete repetitious tasks such as statistical calculations of schedules like doors and windows etc., thereby saving time and avoiding manual statistical calculations which are prone to costly errors. The time thus saved allows our architects to spend more time in coming up with creative designs.” —Song Li Director, Wuhan Architectural Design Institute
11	Customer Success Story VIA Suzuki Architecture “We’ve always looked for a program that responds to the way architects actually think and design, as well as something that engages the client early in the process. Nothing does that better than Revit Architecture.” —Alan Hart Founding Owner, VIA Suzuki Architecture
12	Problem . Better design information is needed to support early-stage design decision making. Project pressures hinder the ability to practice in a sustainable way. Integrated sharing of building information with design, documentation, and construction teams is time consuming and subject to error.
13	Solution Capture Early Design Thinking Building information modeling supports an integrated project delivery model from concept to construction. In-process analysis of sun and solar effects, materials, and quantities yields better information to support sustainable design decisions. Coordination is assured through built-in bidirectional associativity, regardless of design development, discipline, or project phase.
14	Customer Success Story Martinez + Cutri Corporation “Revit Architecture enables us to spend much more time on aesthetics. This opportunity is critical because the buildings we design will be around for 50 years and more. Revit Architecture gives us the time to think things out clearly—and put drawings together with confidence.” —Anthony Cutri Principal, Martinez + Cutri Corporation
15	Customer Success Story RTKL Associates Inc. “We see Revit Architecture as a way to do what we do in a more in-depth and efficient way. As a result, people spend their time thinking about the more important aspects of the project, rather than just repeating menial tasks.” —Douglas Palladino Principal, RTKL Associates Inc.
16	Customer Success Story Architectus “Originally we saw Revit Architecture as a design and presentation tool, but in my view the strength of the product is in its ability to manage and coordinate all the elements needed for successful construction documentation. We are now using Revit Architecture to produce our door, window, and finishes schedules. The documents remain fully coordinated, and any missing information is immediately obvious.” —Rodd Perey Associate Director, Architect/CAD Manager, Architectus
17	Problem . Economic pressures are driving down fees and accelerating design schedules. Insufficient time to properly communicate design intent leads to unmet client expectations. Clients are seeking a more complete menu of services.
18	Solution Improve Your Business Orders-of-magnitude reduction in production time, from schematic design through construction documents. Better documents mean fewer problems and less time spent in construction phase. Easier to perform additional services for larger fees (integration with estimator, move management, phasing).
19	Customer Success Story Arcturis “The high quality of the drawings and documentation we’re able to produce has a direct effect on the quality of the bids we receive. For example, on one of our recent projects, the rate of cost variance was less than 5 percent. That’s great news for the client, and for us.” —Mark Stegeman Interior Designer, Arcturis
20	Customer Success Story KlingStubbins “To create more air-duct space above the fourth floor ballroom ceilings, we raised the fifth floor, which had a ripple effect through the entire 21-story building. Normally, that would have taken us weeks to coordinate. Using Revit Architecture, we did it in two days.” —Roy Pedersen Associate Principal, KlingStubbins
21	Customer Success Story Lott & Barber Architects “Revit Architecture probably gives us a two-to-one advantage over other firms using traditional design software. We are standardizing on Revit Architecture for all new construction.” —Forrest Lott Founder, Lott & Barber Architects
