Revit MEP Professional
Revit MEP Professional Fast-Track Program
Learn the in-demand technical skills used to generate 3D building models and coordinate building systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) efficiently using Revit Architecture and Revit MEP.
During the Revit MEP Professional Fast-Track Program, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Revit, followed by the MEP-specifics of using Revit MEP tools in the BIM process. All courses are taught by practicing professionals through hands-on, project-based training.
- Nationally accredited program
- Free student software
- Learn at your convenience
- Scheduled due dates to help you stay on track
- No set class times
Job Ready in Just 15 Weeks
All VDCI nationally accredited Fast-Track Programs are accelerated, condensing material into shorter, comprehensive programs. This means you’ll be able to earn a credential and enter the workforce with real-world skills in a fraction of the time of other degrees.
Training Path
A total of 140 clock hours are required from the following courses.
BIM 101 – Introduction to Revit
Start at the beginning and learn how information is inter-related throughout the Revit (BIM) model. You will design 3D building models that simultaneously document the project in schedules and in 2D construction documents.
- Describe Primary Revit Concepts and how they relate to Building Information Modeling (BIM).
- Explore the Revit User-Interface.
- Design a 3D building model to explain how information is inter-related
- Determine the appropriate workflow to complete tasks within Revit.
- Develop a project which includes floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roof design to strengthen 3D modeling and 2D documentation skills.
- Create presentation level architectural graphics.
- Catalog building information using schedules.
BIM 201 – Intermediate Revit
Learn more advanced methods to document a project. Topics include scheduling building components, using the family editor to create 2D and 3D components, refining graphics, and create an abbreviated set of construction documents.
- Integrate DWG Files to create Revit details.
- Tag elements for cost estimation and material take-offs.
- Explore the capabilities of design options, and how to present different options.
- Create 3D parametric families.
- Build customized door, material, and room schedules that can be used for construction take-offs.
- Explore BIM project Management techniques to keep models efficient and user friendly.
BIM 321 – Revit MEP I
In this Introduction to Revit MEP course, you will learn to design and model HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, piping and electrical systems. You will create a 3D model of the MEP systems, and learn proven workflow strategies.
- Create MEP systems using Revit MEP for the use of construction documents and construction coordination.
- Implement workflow strategies in Revit MEP for efficient use of the software.
- Produce construction documents from the model file.
- Demonstrate work-sharing and how it can be implemented for larger projects.
BIM 322 – Revit MEP II
You will create the Revit MEP construction documents for the HVAC, Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical systems modeled in Revit MEP I. You will learn the relevant Revit MEP workflow strategies to create the CDs.
- Explore the methodologies for turning a MEP building model into construction documents that can be used for construction.
- Apply workflow strategies for efficient use of a BIM Model.
- Label building components using annotative elements to create a sheet view that can be used for construction documents.
- Produce a set of working construction documents with annotations, detail callouts, and general notes.
BIM 361 – Introduction to Navisworks
Use Navisworks to integrate Revit, 3D AutoCAD and compatible programs into a 3D model to create clash detection between architectural, structural, MEP and fire-suppression systems.
- Explore the methodologies for integrating Revit, 3D AutoCAD and compatible software programs into a 3D model which can be used to create clash detection between various structural and MEP systems.
- Apply workflow strategies for efficient use of integrating various BIM models into clash detection analysis models.
- Create timeline animations representing 4D construction modeling and scheduling.
- Produce and resolve time-based clash detection reports which will minimize on-site construction change order requests.
