BIM - Model Analysis
In order to assist the development of projects from an early stage, Revit can be used to model the factors of the site that will inform the design and costing process. This allows the team to produce a properly thought out design and construction strategy for a successful project.

Site Analysis
An analysis of the site can be carried out to determine the most suitable proposed levels and co-ordinate with the significant features of the site. This process is carried out whilst monitoring the approximate cut and fill volumes to ensure that an economic and practical solution can be found.

Material Quantities
In addition to the approximate cut and fill analysis of the site the structural elements of the project can be closely monitored using the Revit model in order to help inform the cost planning of the project.
