Revit and Space Management The Untapped Frontier Brandon Pike

What We Will Cover Today Space Management Overview Perspectives in Space Management Overview of Space Management Standards Managing Space in Revit: Things to Think About Building Owners Lease & Space Management with BOMA & IFMA Building Owners/Occupiers Space Tracking with OSCRE Architects Taking Advantage of Space in Projects New Business Opportunities

Perspectives in Space Management Tenant Seeking Lease Property A tenant will want to compare each lease opportunity equally. Understanding how much area will be available to optimally house their staff and functions. What is the best venue for comparison? Building Owner Building owners are seeking income on their investment. They have an incentive to properly market and compete within established industry metrics. Property Manager The cost efficiency of maintaining a property may be improved by accurately tracking the square footage of the facility(s). Tenant Managing Their Portfolio A tenant with a significant portfolio will want to accurately track their occupied space for the purposes of strategic planning, space planning and charge backs. Architects An Architect wants to ensure that their design fulfills the owner’s requirements yet conforms to all applicable building codes.

Space Management Standards OSCRE - Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate No industry standard alignment for ‘micro-level’ space management Inconsistent and unreliable data for industry benchmarking Various space classifications existed with no consistent naming conventions

So, Revit Rooms or Areas? Rooms Areas Time vs. Effort vs. Requirements Limited control over boundaries Walls get in the way Areas Full control over boundaries Can be VERY time consuming Time vs. Effort vs. Requirements
