Revizto as Integral Component in Large-Scale Projects
4Project Germany, a leading digital construction project management company, has seamlessly integrated Revizto into its workflow for managing complex, large-scale projects. The Munich Airport T1E building project exemplifies how Revizto empowers efficient project execution from the design phase to completion. This transition was marked by a complete migration from other software to the Swiss solution, reflecting the platform's comprehensive capabilities and ease of use.
Enhancing Efficiency and Real-Time Collaboration
In past projects, teams often experienced delays due to prolonged rendering times. With Revizto, real-time presentations are now possible, allowing immediate access to all model information. This improvement has significantly enhanced project timelines and facilitated seamless collaboration among team members. The platform’s ability to handle an ever growing list of file formats and integrate directly with multiple authoring tools, such as Revit and ArchiCAD, eliminates previous limitations and streamlines the workflow.
We have always been innovative, but Revizto has taken us a big step further. But that’s exactly what we were looking for since we can easily handle Revizto without the need for long coaching. I can very easily insert models, read IFC files, and more. So, it’s truly ‘learning by doing‘.

Tackling Complexity with BIM Methodology
Airport projects, such as the one at Munich Airport, demand high flexibility and robust coordination due to their size and functional complexity. Traditional processes struggle with the size and complexity of such projects. Revizto’s role as centerpiece of the implemented BIM methodology helps to overcome these challenges by providing a unified platform for project management and execution.
Leveraging Interoperability for Seamless Integration
Revizto stands out with its plugins and direct connections to various software, allowing project teams to transition effortlessly between authoring tools. This interoperability, in the case of 4Project with Revit; Vectorworks; MiniCAD; ArchiCAD and more - ensures that all aspects of the project, from 2D to 3D overlays, are managed efficiently. The platform's ability to integrate point clouds has transformed the handling of these from a previous pain point to a significant advantage, ensuring high-quality information is readily available.
Streamlining Processes and Reducing Errors
Going down the path of digitalisation has been the right way for Assmann, Michael is a firm believer in BIM and would not want to think back to the days of illegible handwritten measurement chains being faxed to the office. Integrating the Point Cloud through Revit into Revizto, has worked wonders for the team’s productivity. This integration supports a more efficient workflow, enabling teams to maintain a continuously collision-free model. Even in the rare instances of errors, they are quickly identified and addressed, ensuring minimal disruption to the project.
Doing so significantly saves time and reduces working hours. I can’t put a number on it because we haven’t done so without Revizto, and luckily, nobody tried.

Encouraging Collaborative Innovation
Revizto fosters a collaborative environment by making it accessible and user-friendly for both young professionals and experienced veterans. This inclusivity encourages a dynamic exchange of ideas and expertise, enhancing overall project outcomes. The platform’s features, such as the 2D/3D overlay and 'stamps,' contribute to its ease of use and widespread adoption among team members.
The 2D/3D overlay feature is amazing, and the ‘stamps’ are exciting. The pendants are well built. So that’s easy. We really do have what I dared not hope for: veteran architects and engineers get happily involved. I know a structural engineer from the “old school” and demonstrated Revizto to him. His statement after using the tool: "It's not a problem, Revizto is fun, and we’ll use it.

A Collaborative, Collision-Free Model Is Attainable
Werner also highlighted that the coordination workflow is efficient and time-saving, particularly beneficial for large projects.
That means we do it continuously. In principle, we can say that, except for a few human errors, our model is continuously collision-free. And that’s quite exciting! Even if there is an error, we will find it in a very short amount of time.

Engaging External Stakeholders
4Project actively involves all relevant external parties in their projects, utilising Revizto to bridge the gap between different stakeholders. This inclusive approach helps external partners, such as fire alarm system companies, to integrate seamlessly into the hybrid workflow of 2D and 3D planning. The goal is to overcome initial skepticism and demonstrate the tangible benefits of using BIM and Revizto.
From Werner’s perspective, Michael is an external member invited to use Revizto by 4Project. Ultimately, various individuals collaborate towards the common goal of project success.
The amount of people involved doesn’t really matter because, with a product like Revizto, you actually get everybody on board since you can just show them how to use it. It’s better than it used to be, it works reliably, and it’s just always available. All you need is a laptop; nothing else matters.
