BIM Course Project

Modeling of Residential House in Faisal Town using Revit and AI

Transformed traditional 2D architectural CAD sheets into a fully parametric Building Information Model (BIM) for a modern 2-story residential dwelling in Faisal Town. Using Autodesk Revit as the primary modeling environment, flat drafting deliverables — including site layouts, structural footing plans, sections, and framing layouts — were converted into intelligent 3D BIM elements with embedded metadata for materials, dimensions, and structural properties. AI-assisted workflows via Google Gemini were leveraged to accelerate parameter extraction, schedule generation, and design iteration validation. The resulting model functions as a coordinated, clash-free digital twin capable of automated quantity takeoffs, daylight analysis, and real-time design updates across architectural and structural disciplines.

BIM Academic Project

Residential Quantity Takeoff & 5D Cost Estimation in Revit

Comprehensive parametric modeling, material quantity takeoff, and cost estimation conducted for a multi-level residential house model in Autodesk Revit. Elements across architectural, structural, and interior assemblies including wall envelopes, structural floor slabs, curtain walls, and interior fixtures were scheduled and cross-referenced with unit rates. Schedules were extracted directly into Excel to generate dynamic bill of quantities and comprehensive project budget estimates totaling over $1.89M.

Modeling Environment Autodesk Revit
Analysis Scope Quantity Takeoff & Cost Estimation
Estimated Total $1,898,657.05
Extraction Format Revit Schedules to Excel
Generated precise schedules for basic walls, exterior envelopes, structural floor assemblies, and fixture counts.
Integrated parametric cost parameters into Revit families for real-time cost scheduling and automated budget reconciliation.
