Revit templates and families can save architects a significant amount of time by providing a standardized set of objects, components, and settings, allowing architects to quickly and easily insert commonly used objects, such as doors, windows, and furniture, into their designs.

​

For example, if an architect has to create a door or window family from scratch, it can take them several hours or even days, depending on the complexity of the design. However, if they have access to a pre-made template or family, they can simply select and insert the appropriate object, which can take as little as a few minutes.

​

Additionally, it also saves time when it comes to creating annotations, tags, scheduling, and other necessary tools in the project, since it already has been pre-set and organized, therefore architects don't have to spend much time doing it.

​

Overall, using Revit templates can save architects a significant amount of time, allowing them to focus on the creative aspects of their work and complete projects more quickly and efficiently.

​

Most architects say that the cost of developing Revit templates is already paid for by the end of the first project! For every dollar spent developing templates and families, 2 to 4 dollars are saved in labor hours.  This doesn't even include the higher profit potential by increasing the number of projects that can be handled in the same amount of time!
