For firms
Revit consulting for residential and interiors studios.
I run a luxury residential practice that has been 100% Revit since 2014, and teach BIM at George Brown and Lawrence Tech. Standards, templates, training and the AutoCAD-to-Revit transition — for firms that draw houses, not hospitals.
Why residential firms call me
01Still on AutoCAD and SketchUp
Your drawings work, but every project is rebuilt by hand and the model and the set never agree. You want Revit without losing a project to the learning curve.
02Everyone uses Revit differently
No shared template, no written standards, and every file looks different. A clean template and documented standards fix most of it.
03The last transition stalled
It died when the principal ran out of time. This plan includes the principals, and I stay with you through the first real project.

How it works
You tell me what’s broken, I look at your actual files, and we fix the parts that cost you the most hours first.
I take one firm at a time, so the start window is stated on every proposal.
- A call to see if we’re a fit
- A Standards Audit of your template and a live project
- A Template Build or the Transition Program, if you need it
