Description
Revit for Indian Construction Practice — Overview
Revit for Indian Construction Practice is a 290-page field-tested engineering handbook from 3D-LABS — covering Autodesk Revit 2024 workflows for Indian architectural and structural projects, including IS-code-compliant title blocks, structural framing, MEP routing, and BOQ outputs aligned with CPWD and MoRTH deliverables. Every concept is backed by worked examples, engineering diagrams, and the exact Indian and international standards you’ll be held to.
Why engineers choose this book
It’s written the way real projects work: no filler, just the design decisions, code references, and workflows an experienced engineer would walk a colleague through — so you can model it, document it, and deliver it with confidence.
Who is this book for?
Practising civil, structural and BIM engineers, CAD/BIM teams, contractors, and final-year engineering students and GATE aspirants who want India-relevant, application-first knowledge rather than generic theory.
What standards does this book reference?
IS 962:1989 (architectural drawings), IS 11065:1984 (structural drawings), NBC 2016 Annex E (BIM readiness), and CPWD BIM Implementation Guidelines 2020.
What structural exchange formats are covered?
Revit-to-ETABS via CIS/2 or SDNF. Steel sections configured to IS 808:1989 (ISLB, ISMB, ISMC), rebar to IS 1786:2008 (Fe 500D/550D), bending schedules exported to IS 2502:1963 format.
Does the book cover Indian MEP standards?
Yes – IS 1239 GI pipe, IS 4346:1982 copper pipe, NBC 2016 Part 8 duct sizing, ISHRAE HVAC guidelines, and IS 9537 Part 2 conduit sizing are all covered.
