I have over 10 years of experience developing Revit families and parametric product libraries for architecture, MEP, and interior specialists, as well as for manufacturers of building products and equipment.
I have personally developed and supervised the delivery of 2,000+ families for 70+ global manufacturers, covering:
HVAC systems
Ventilation units and components
Electrical and lighting products
Architectural interiors and furniture
Plumbing and piping systems
Structural connectors and assemblies
My background as an architect and BIM coordinator allows me to design families that are easy to place, coordinate, and schedule — optimized for real project workflows, not just geometry.
I focus on:
Clean parameter architecture & stable behavior
Correct category, hosting, connectors, materials
Controlled LOD & performance (no heavy families)
Standards alignment (naming, shared parameters, IFC mapping)
The result:
Families that are intuitive for designers and fully usable across project stages
Yes. I can work from drawings, PDFs, product sheets, DXF/DWG, STEP/IGES, or manufacturer specifications. If needed, I also request clarifications directly from technical representatives.Â
I optimize geometry, avoid unnecessary detail, control nested elements, and use parameters efficiently. All families are tested for performance, stability, and predictable placement in real projects.Â
Yes — I always align families with your existing BIM standards, templates, shared parameters, and scheduling workflows. If you do not have standards yet — I can help develop them.Â
Yes — documentation is available as an optional add-on.
This may include:
Usage guides
Parameter and type description tables
Modeling logic diagrams
Family maintenance recommendations
Training session for your team
These materials are provided under a separate agreement, based on your needs.
Yes. I can audit, refactor, standardize, merge, and optimize existing libraries to reduce redundancy, improve usability, and ensure project-ready consistency.Â
I strongly recommend avoiding non-native geometry in Revit families.
Imported meshes or CAD/3D models significantly increase:
File size (leading to slow model performance)
Graphics processing load (resulting in lag during navigation)
Difficulty in controlling visibility levels
Lack of parametric behavior / limited configurability
Problems in documentation and schedules
Poor integration with coordination tools (Navisworks, ACC, Solibri)
Well-designed families should be:
Lightweight
Predictable in behavior
Easy to modify and maintain
Fully parametric where necessary
Built using native Revit geometry and reference planes
However - if you understand and accept the performance and usability trade-offs, I can create families based on imported manufacturer geometry
