    Default FMDesktop, Revit and Hospitality

    Anyone have any experience with the above combination? We are an all Revit Architecture firm, doing Hospitality work, and I would like to get a sense of what the FM priorities are for owners, so that we can look at our Revit practices and see where things might be improved, as far as making our model more useful down the road. Any insights would be very helpful.

    Thanks,
    Gordon

    I'm curious about what 'hospitality' is meaning. I am a 'building owner', but, I work in a Hospital, so I'm sure we've got some unique FM needs compared to most large facilities.

    My corporate overlords are phasing in BIM over the next couple of years on all of the projects they manage (roughly 9 million square feet across two states, half of which is 'mine'). There is talk of a centralized server under our power to control access and collaboration issues; but, I'm not sure where that is at at this point. I try and stay involved, but, as the end user, I'm sometimes forgotten until well, the end.

    A main concern with owners is the ability to reduce RFI's during design/construction (nothing the Facility Engineer hates to hear more than 'VE due to cost overruns') and to be able to reuse, modify, update the model/data over time. So, the best thing I would hope for is that all of my contractors are working off of the same model and not trying to go all rogue and invalidate the original goals in the end.

    Communication is the driving force, the goal, etc.

    Hospitality would be like a hotel, resort, casino or even a restaurant.
