  • 1.  BIM families

    While I'm reasonably agnostic about CAD programs, I find that the families available from suppliers make integration into the project easier. Specs can be attached to the model, and refreshes to outdated equipment make it easy to stay current. The manufacturers seem to support the Revit format and compatibility is all-important.
