Centralizing project information

Creative Engineering, also known as Create, is an electromechanical construction company focused on building systems. Founded in 2020, the company has used Revizto since day one — building their collaboration and coordination workflows around the platform from the outset.

Before Revizto, coordination processes were fragmented

Franco Rodríguez Arias, BIM and Innovation Manager at Creative Engineering, has been working with Revizto since before the company was founded. When Create was established in 2020, Revizto came with it — already embedded in how the team works.

For Franco, the platform's core value is simple: centralized information and structured communication. Before Revizto, coordination processes were fragmented. Now, field engineers, supervisors, BIM coordinators, and project managers all work from the same model — logging real-time progress, validating prefabricated components on site, and catching clashes before they become costly field problems.

BIM Coordinator Maleny Castro Sánchez puts that into practice on the ground. Her team has built a detailed prefabrication tracking workflow directly inside Revizto — using stamps, custom properties, and appearance profiles to manage fabrication status from model to installation. Field engineers and supervisors update installation status in real time, giving the office an accurate, visual picture of where every component stands.

"Revizto has helped us with construction coordination collaboration — avoiding clashes on site that would be far more costly to resolve."
Franco Rodríguez Arias, BIM and Innovation Manager, Creative Engineering
"We can visually see what has been installed and what is still pending. Field staff, engineers, and supervisors are responsible for entering data into Revizto."
Maleny Castro Sánchez, BIM Coordinator, Creative Engineering

Franco and Maleny’s top Revizto features:

Integrated Issue Management The Issue Tracker is the foundation of Create's collaboration workflow. It gives the team a structured, ordered communication channel — replacing fragmented exchanges with a traceable record that feeds directly into project reporting and dashboards. Franco's team uses it to track status, manage open items, and present progress in general project meetings.
Appearance Profiler Maleny's team uses appearance profiles to color-code electromechanical systems by fabrication and installation status — making it immediately visible what has been installed, what is in progress, and what is still pending. Stamps & Issue Workflows Maleny's team uses stamps alongside custom properties to generate construction progress tracking — logging installation milestones directly against model elements and giving the office a live picture of where every component stands.
Collaborative Clash Automation Franco's team uses clash detection to catch conflicts between electromechanical systems before they reach site — avoiding the far more costly process of resolving clashes during installation.

Coordinate every discipline. Keep every stakeholder in the model.

FAQs

Tracking prefabricated components from fabrication through to field installation requires a live connection between the model and what is happening on site. Creative Engineering built this workflow inside Revizto using custom properties and stamps to record fabrication codes, component levels, and installation status. Field teams update these properties on site in real time, and appearance profiles translate that data into color-coded visual progress across the model.

Electromechanical systems are among the most spatially complex elements on any building project. Creative Engineering uses Revizto's unified 2D/3D environment, appearance profiles, and clash detection to coordinate MEP systems across multiple trades and contractors — catching conflicts in the model before they become expensive problems in the field.

Fragmented communication between field and office teams is one of the most common sources of delay and error on construction projects. Franco's team at Creative Engineering uses Revizto's Issue Tracker as their primary communication channel — creating a structured, traceable record of every issue, update, and resolution that all project stakeholders can access and contribute to in real time.

Custom properties in Revizto allow teams to attach project-specific data fields to individual model elements. Creative Engineering uses this to record fabrication and installation status for prefabricated components — exporting parameters from Revit into Revizto so that field teams can validate and update information on site. This creates a direct, real-time link between the BIM model and actual site conditions.

Revizto's reporting and dashboard tools allow project teams to turn issue and progress data into structured project status updates. Creative Engineering uses these tools to review open items, track installation progress, and present project status in general coordination meetings — giving all stakeholders a clear, consistent picture of where the project stands.
