Key challenge

Large model files inaccessible for field teams on site

Cerris Systems is a leading mechanical contractor specializing in complex building systems across healthcare, commercial, and industrial sectors, with a strong focus on VDC and BIM-driven delivery.

Once you go Revizto, it's hard to go back

Jason Steele, Senior VDC Manager at Cerris Systems, shares how the company found the right VDC coordination software to unite their office and field teams on complex mechanical projects. Facing challenges with large BIM models that were difficult to view on iPads, the team needed a more practical way to access and share information in the field.

After evaluating their options, Cerris chose Revizto as their MEP coordination platform — and the impact was immediate. Teams can now view and manage complex models on site, track progress through appearance profiles, and use the Issue Tracker to communicate directly between VDC and field.

The result is smoother BIM field collaboration, real-time visibility, and stronger coordination from design through to installation.

“The biggest benefit we’ve gained is the real-time collaboration, communication, and visibility into the model. Once you understand how clunky your workflows are without Revizto, it’s hard to go back.”

Jason’s top Revizto features:

2D Overlay	View 2D drawings directly overlaid onto the 3D model, giving field teams the drawing-level detail they need without switching platforms or losing context.
Appearance Profiler	Color-code models by work package, field install status, or trade, making it easy for field teams to navigate using the visual cues they already know.
Issue Tracker	Log, track, and resolve issues directly in the model. Jason's field team started using it unprompted, communicating back to the VDC team entirely on their own initiative.

Stop wrestling with large files in the field.

FAQs

Many traditional VDC platforms struggle to load large, complex BIM models on mobile devices, leading to crashes and delays on site. Revizto’s allows field teams to seamlessly open, navigate, and interact with massive 3D models directly on an iPad without sacrificing detail or performance.

The best MEP coordination software bridges the gap between the VDC office and the field crew. For mechanical contractors like Cerris Systems, Revizto is a top choice. It combines a powerful 3D model viewer with an intuitive 2D Overlay feature and a real-time Issue Tracker, allowing field teams to communicate installation hurdles instantly back to the coordination team.

Real-time VDC collaboration ensures that the field crew is always looking at the most up-to-date model. Features like Revizto's Issue Tracker allow on-site teams to log conflicts the moment they see them. By catching discrepancies between design and field conditions instantly, contractors can prevent costly installation errors and eliminate clunky, delayed email chains.

Mechanical contractors can track project progress visually by using Revizto’s Appearance Profiler. This feature allows teams to color-code the 3D model by work package, trade, or real-time installation status. It provides both the field crew and stakeholders with immediate, visual clarity on what has been installed and what is up next.
