Plumbing Department Head and creator of RevX. On a mission to make MEP design in Revit easier for everyone.
RevX gives MEP firms a project template, a family library, and a training system, so small teams can run Revit projects without a BIM department.
Setups take too long. Content is a constant bottleneck. Simple tasks turn into rabbit holes. Fee evaporates fighting the software instead of doing the engineering.
Big firms solve this with a full BIM department. You don't have that luxury, and you shouldn't need it.
The team
We're engineers who built our firms' Revit systems from scratch, then teamed up to build one so you don't have to reinvent it.

Mechanical
Former Lead BIM Engineer for a global firm, responsible for project delivery, training, infrastructure, and strategic leadership. At RevX to democratize that experience and help small firms punch above their weight.

Electrical
Senior Electrical Engineer who blends technical rigor with clean design. Your go-to for everything Revit electrical.
Which means it isn't harder to operate than it needs to be. It doesn't ask your team to become BIM experts.
Copy the template, reload your links, delete what isn't necessary, and start production.
Open the warehouse, grab what you need, and drop it in.
Video tutorials plus an example project that doubles as onboarding.
From the field
By standardizing our families and project setup, they made Revit the path of least resistance.

We had tried Revit before but kept going back to AutoCAD because it felt easier and less overwhelming.

I joked right then that I’d take everyone out to lunch because of the hours of manual scheduling that just disappeared.

One production-ready Revit toolkit for your firm. Pick the disciplines you run and own it outright.
A Project Template with views, sheets, view templates, filters, graphical settings, and more already set up.
Project Warehouse(s) filled with high quality, lean, and adaptable Families designed for efficient workflow.
Access to the Video Tutorial library, which covers everything from fundamental workflows to advanced BIM Management and Family Creation techniques.
All the files for ProjX, which is an example learning project that pairs with the discipline video tutorials for staff to follow along with. At the end of the tutorial, they will have modeled a small project from start to finish, learning the fundamentals of Revit as well as the RevX System.
You also get a custom hour-long workshop with the creator of each discipline you purchased, to go over any questions you have.
We built RevX Pro specifically for small MEP design and design-build firms. You don't have a full time dedicated BIM Department, but you do have RFPs listing "Revit" as a requirement. RevX is for you.
We're finding an increasing number of small contractors choosing to adopt Revit to produce shop drawings and generate coordinated models before getting on site. RevX Pro works well for them, as well.
When you buy RevX Pro you get the Warehouse(s), Template, and access to the Training Library.
See the pricing page for current details.
We maintain RevX Pro content at least three years behind the latest Revit version. At the moment, it is in Revit 2023.
In circumstances where newer versions of Revit have features that we want to include, we include a separate "content pack" file in that newer version of Revit. For example, we currently have available a 2026 Electrical Content Pack that includes Wire and Conduit updates.
We want to hear about it! Requests and ideas from our customers go to the top of our "to-build" list.
No. All of the RevX Pro assets are Revit native. Once you download the assets, they'll work forever, and they're yours forever. The video tutorials are not downloadable, but your purchase includes lifetime access.
No. Our philosophy is to build a system that works on base out of the box Revit as much as possible.
That said, if you use the smart schedules, you'll want at least one person on your team to have a plugin like DiRoots that helps with Shared Parameter management. Revit's shared parameter tools simply aren't adequate to manage a full Equipment Scheduling system. And if your projects tend to have a lot of sheets, plugins (like DiRoots) have many tools that can make model setup easier. But we've built the Template and setup process to be no-plugins-required.
But no 3rd party software is required for any of the RevX assets to function.
No. The tutorials cover how to use Revit's duct/pipe sizing tools, but doing e.g. external static pressure calculations is an advanced workflow that does not work "out of the box" and can distract from the core work of producing good drawings and coordinated models. In the future we will add features and tutorials around this, particularly as/when Autodesk makes these features work out of the box.
While many of the Families are based off of real equipment (e.g. the VAV boxes are based on Titus, the SS equipment is based on Daikin), they are modeled in an intentionally generic way so that any family in the Warehouse can be modified to represent any specific manufacturer version of that kind of equipment. The heat pumps can be modified to represent Daikin, Mitsubishi, Trane, or Carrier in a few seconds, for example.
You should know that managing Shared Parameters for equipment schedules is involved, and requires a fairly advanced understanding of Revit's Shared Parameter system and how the Schedules work. It is unintuitive until you've spend some time with it.
If you are new to Revit, I recommend waiting until you're comfortable with the rest of the software to produce good looking drawings and models before diving into Equipment Schedules. Keep using your old method (e.g. Excel > DWG), and import those schedules into Revit Sheets. This isn't ideal, but learning native-Revit Schedules is genuinely a big lift. You need to have a deep understanding of Instance vs. Type parameters, sorting and filtering, Parameter Management, and understand all of the ways in which you can get yourself into trouble with Shared Parameters.
One of our goals is to help firms who are newer to Revit avoid falling into quicksand -- "feature" traps that can trip you up on your journey. This is one of those areas that require caution and intention.
While we've stripped out the most egregiously wrong fittings, we've optimized for 'efficient to model at the design-intent level', not 'fabrication-level detail'. You won't find a complete set of SMACNA-spec fittings you can use to model precisely what you want at a shop drawing level.
Our focus at the moment is making the absolute best system for firms doing up to LOD300 design intent production work, without the benefit of highly experienced BIM operators. Filling the palette out with fabrication-spec families is unfortunately not aligned with helping firms get a solid foundation of fundamentals before they tackle more sophisticated abilities.
That said, we are absolutely going to build out that level of capability into RevX Pro in the future.
Our fittings don't resolve the pressure loss/ASHRAE table issue yet, so you can't use them for reliable pressure drop calculations (*yet!*).

Do production in Revit fast and well, without a BIM department. Put together coordinated models that save you time during construction. Spend fee on engineering and design, not on fighting software.
