Table of Contents
Corey Clasen, Implementation Service Manager – MEPF – NA
Picture this: You’re a Specialty Subcontractor that’s been added to a project and the GC decides to mandate Revizto as the coordination software you’ll be using. Before you roll your eyes, because you have to deal with yet another new platform, bear with me – I’m a former Trade Partner with over 15 years of experience in the electrical field and 6+ years of MEPF coordination experience, so I get it!
Using Revizto in that upcoming project is actually an opportunity to test out BIM collaboration technology that can actually benefit and streamline your MEPFP internal processes – that’s right Revizto is not just a tool for GCs. In your spare time you can also check out stories from your peers like Rosendin, Binsky, and Archkey/Sachs, but in the meantime I wanted to invite you to catch on-demand the six-part Revizto Trade Talk series that I hosted last year.
Part 1: Getting the Most Out of The Issue Tracker
The six part series kicks off with “Getting the Most Out of The Issue Tracker.” In this introductory episode, participants discovered the fundamentals of Revizto, starting with its robust Issue Tracker. Corey shared practical advice for streamlining workflow and on how to get the most value out of the tool to benefit you internally as a trade.
Part 2: Putting Your Digital Drawings to Work
Titled “Putting Your Digital Drawings to Work,” the second episode explored advanced workflows. Corey explained the importance of understanding your scope of work and the art of asking the right questions to make informed decisions. He compared traditional methods of managing construction drawings with the efficiency gains offered by Revizto’s solutions.
Part 3: Breaking Down the 3D Concept
In “Breaking Down the 3D Concept,” participants got to learn how Revizto’s 3D modeling tools align with, and compare with other familiar software. This session aimed to prepare users for a seamless transition to more advanced features.
Part 4: A Clash Crash Course
The fourth session, “A Clash Crash Course,” focused on the importance of finding and resolving clashes efficiently, so that it does not consume your entire work week. Corey demonstrated how targeting specific situations, locations and systems can save time and streamline project management tasks.
Part 5: Taking the Tool Out for a Spin
This session was more than just a practical demonstration. Here, Corey explained that Revizto can be used without an internet connection and examines various field use cases for Revizto from your PC, iPad, and smartphone. The session was particularly insightful in showing how field personnel could easily access and leverage all the information provided by Revizto.
Part 6: A PM’s Guide to the Galaxy
For the grand finale, “A PMs Guide to the Galaxy ” was tailored for senior project members, superintendents and general foreman. This session focused on utilizing Revizto for tracking progress and enhancing accuracy to get the most out of dashboards and reports.
