Evolve Consultancy Meets Status Report Requirements with Ideate BIMLink

Press Release: San Francisco, CA, July 12, 2023

When appointed Information Manager on a major project that required weekly reports to demonstrate the development of Autodesk® Revit® models, Evolve Consultancy, a premier BIM consultancy in the UK, turned to a suite of tools, including Ideate BIMLink. Ideate BIMLink is a Revit productivity tool developed by Ideate Software, an Autodesk AEC Industry Partner and Autodesk Authorized Developer.

Joseph Frame, an associate with Evolve Consultancy said, “Simplicity is the key. We need anyone to be able to produce and analyse these reports with a minimum of training, as quickly as possible. Ideate BIMLink gives us that ability.”

In the customer success story published by Ideate Software, Joseph Frame and Francesco Pirritano, a consultant with Evolve Consultancy, share the steps they follow to:

1. Use Ideate BIMLink to select the required properties and categories to be included in the report

2. Export that data, which includes data from linked Revit models, to an Excel spreadsheet

3. Calculate the number and percentage of elements against each key performance indicator

4. Create a summary sheet to show the progression of how the models are developing over time

Francesco Pirritano said, “Ideate BIMLink allows the selection of multiple Revit categories, including both system and loadable families into the scheduled export, something not possible with Autodesk Revit multi-category schedules.”
