“I am already loving the Revit Vol 1 course. It's a breath of fresh air after completing the tutorials on the Autodesk site. Thank you for making it simple & straight forward while also comprehensive. Autodesk could learn a thing or two from your videos.”
– Liz N, Revit Volume I
RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE WITH REVIT
This course is for aspiring and experienced architects wanting to get started in Revit
11 hours of video tutorials will take you from a blank file through designing and documenting a house, including floor plans, elevations, sections, framing and foundation plans and more.
I guide you step by step through the fundamentals of residential construction and documentation, as well as actionable skills in Revit that will make you better and more efficient at your job.
In this course you will learn...
- How to design and model a house from the foundation up
- Actual construction methods, which will result in better, more-coordinated, more accurate drawing sets
Skills, tips, tricks and best practices I use every day to...
- Improve the quality of your drawings and cut your project turnaround time
- Eliminate repetition by showing you how to stop making the same changes over and over
- Create drawing standards that can be used office-wide for all of your projects
- Quickly and easily organize your drawings and sheets, both within Revit and for a printed set of construction documents
- Create schedules, view filters, architecture and structural plans, detail components and more

Now includes ALL the Volume II intermediate lessons as well!
Another 5.5 hours of video tutorials will take you to the next level.
Volume II will cover best practices from project startup through Design Development. We'll cover project templates, modeling existing conditions, working with phases, creating demo plans, schematic design modeling and more.
I'm not saying you need to sign up for Volume I, you just need to be able to do everything I teach in that course :-)
In this course you will learn...
- How to model existing conditions, including property lines and topography
- Best practices for modeling based on sketches from another architect or your own notes
- Creating your own project template from scratch or from an existing project
- How to set up phases to create existing, demo and new construction plans.
- How to create a custom keynote family and schedule to automatically display keynotes
- How to set up and use Worksets and a Central Model
- Best practices for using Revit during Schematic Design
- How to use Design Options and more!
