Hats off!. This is truly an amassing video. The complete circle, from design, estimate, biding, permits, construction, field's inspections and enjoying the final beautifully results.. Amassing. Thank you for sharing.
Looks awesome! You should be very proud. It's an extra level of rewarding planning and drawing something, then carrying it all out yourself. Very cool!
This was truly a fantastic episode. Goes to show how powerful a tool Revit is. Not only the drawings look great, it's amazing to see all the detail that goes into the drawings by taking advantage of the 3D model. The home office itself came out pretty nice as well. Good job.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Really loved it. Though I live in tropical climate and our building styles are nearly 80% different to yours. But it was nice learning this. Yeah, Revit is good and building it yourself, helped you understand and bridge that communication gap between architects and builders
Congrations for your home office! I would like to ask that if you worked with a contractor would you still draw these detail drawings and model these structures in Revit?
Thanks for sharing this process Jeff, really great to see how it came together and your struggles and lessons. Beginning the process of my own house design-build so this helps! I've always stayed away from modeling the framing, other than floor framing. Partly because I use LT so anything other than flat roof doesn't work well modeling. But I want to try the wall framing on an upcoming small project and see how that goes.
Glad you enjoyed and happy to share! Good luck on your project! At a minimum… modeling studs around openings so you can fully understand the header details is worth it! But, modeling it all is TOTALLY worth the little extra effort.
This was a fantastic session. The end result looks awesome. I like that you used a Husky workbench. I was thinking about switching over my old drafting table that has sit-stand motorized legs to the Husky. Anything to keep in mind when using it? What size do you have?
Hey David! Thanks for tuning in! I have gotten a. Few questions about the desk setup… I think it warrants a short video with links and description, etc… Stay tuned! I’ll try to pull one together ASAP!
Apologies, i will add comments as i watch the show. 12mins in you are saying the feedback was to dumb down the drawings as the contractor saw colour as expensive. Is that not the issue to some extent with BIM in the world today. The 2D drawing still wins and anything more than flat plan is seen as expensive. If the contractor had access to the data they could have priced of a data set?
at 20.30. its not a lot of effort to model structure. 100% agree for either Arch, Struc or MEP. it is no more effort. people forget what the process was. In MEP world and old CAD. We had to request that the Arch draw up a section for us to then draw up the MEP design. Used to take days if not weeks to finalise. we now have access to immediate input from the model. I model it now, the arch has access to it immediately. then Struc then MEP.
That was ONE contractor just making a remark. I did not actually test to see if I got different numbers based on the drawing look... I did, however use the model ALL throughout construction to help the contractors understand design intent, and details. Plus, I purchased almost all of the materials myself using the model for takeoff. Concrete was the only material I did no procure myself.

Amassing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for tuning in! I’m so glad you enjoyed !! 😬

Thanks! I’m jealous of your tropical climate haha

Yes, 100% I do not change the modeling and drawing approach if I was the GC or not.

This is the most impressive example of design and execution I've ever seen!
Cheers Alexei! Thanks for tuning in! :)
I'm interesting for you to model your house step by step. I missed your live stream so I watching your recording. Thanks,
More to come!
This drawing set is DOPE
Thanks Remus! Simple, yet effective. :)

how does the the fire code for exposed joists work? the blocking is sufficient for a fire stop?
Great question. All the floor penetrations were fire caulked. That was enough to meet code for this particular situation.
Sorry, outa context comment, do you have solution to find and delete important cads in Revit? 🙏

maybe the contractor needs to change and get up with the times.
