My firm has recently begun doing projects in Revit Structure and the topic of our fee structure has come up. I am curious to know if we should base our fees or estimates in our job proposals on what we currently use for producing plans with AutoCAD or if we need to adjust our pricing up or down for jobs that require Revit files and drawings. Any and all insight is appreciated.

Seems like nobody wants to reply on this one, but I'll add my $.02 worth. I cant talk about structure as much as about PME, but I do have to say that within the PME sheets done in Revit, there is a LOT MORE DETAIL and concerns on how things are showed than there ever was before. For this reason, we feel the PME engineers have about twice as much work, and thus time, required to do what we used to do in Autocad. In Architecture, I have been told by a few Architects that its about the same time to do it in Revit as it would be in Autocad. Thats not true at all with PME work. How is it to Structural? These architects all say they keep their fee structure the same. As for PME, not only is it more time consuming, and more detail orientated than it ever was, we are actually doing more work than before. And this extra work is a benefit to the owners, as it will help prevent change orders in the field, the mechanical info can be utilized buy the contractor for shop drawings, we can provide an accurate bill of materials, etc. All are worth a value to the owner.

If you havepeople who can manage and use Revit well; I would safely say you can charge the same rate and be more productive...hence better profit. However, be aware that the design development phase can take longer,...where you save time is the cd phase....that is if the Revit users know how to use revit...If they do not It will take you longer

I think Jordan is about right. The design development stage takes a lot longer, the detailing tools seem to work pretty well and one real big benefit is that all the callouts will be right on. Have you done any buildings as yet with Revit Structure?
