Revit description

Revit is advanced design software for professionals involved in building projects. It allows architects, engineers, and construction teams to work together on a single, detailed 3D model of a building. This helps everyone stay coordinated, spot problems early, and make better decisions. Any changes made to the model are automatically updated everywhere, keeping documents consistent and reducing errors. Revit is a powerful tool for designing, planning, and constructing better buildings.


Who is Revit best for

Revit is collaborative design software ideal for architects, engineers, and construction teams. Users praise its collaborative features and seamless integration with other Autodesk products. However, some find importing external files challenging. Revit facilitates better building design, planning, and construction through detailed 3D modeling and automated updates.

  • Best for small, medium, and enterprise businesses.

  • Ideal for construction and real estate projects.

Revit pricing

The commentary is based on 76 reviews from Revit Capterra reviews and Revit G2 reviews.

Revit is praised for its cost-effectiveness when bundled with the AEC Collection. However, some users find the standalone licensing expensive, particularly smaller businesses and individual users. Despite the price, many consider Revit a worthwhile investment for its powerful BIM capabilities.
