Revit MEP & BIM Training — Built on Real Project Delivery
Most Revit and BIM training is generic and classroom-based — taught by full-time trainers removed from live delivery, using exercises that look nothing like a real MEP project. Ours is different. Every session is delivered by a practising BIM delivery principal, grounded in live UK MEP projects and the standards you actually work to. Engineers and teams leave able to do the work — not just pass a tutorial.
What the training covers
Training is tailored to your level and your goals. Core areas include:
-
Revit MEP modelling — mechanical, electrical and public health services modelled to a consistent, coordinatable standard
-
Coordination & clash detection — federated models, Navisworks workflows, clash prioritisation and issue resolution
-
BIM standards & workflows — ISO 19650 information management, BEP and CDE fundamentals, naming and file structure done properly
-
Project setup & efficiency — templates, view management, and the habits that keep a model clean and auditable from Stage 2 to handover
Sessions can go deeper into any single area — family creation, plantroom modelling, or a specific coordination workflow — depending on what your team needs.
Who is it for
Individual engineers, drafters and graduates
Upskill on Revit MEP, close gaps in your BIM knowledge, and become genuinely project-ready. Ideal for engineers moving into MEP modelling, or anyone who learned Revit in isolation and wants to work the way live projects actually run.
MEP teams & consultancies
Bring a whole team up to one consistent standard, onboard junior staff faster, or embed a coordination workflow that sticks. Team training is delivered on your templates, standards and live projects — so what's taught maps directly onto the work in front of them, and the improvement holds after the session ends.
How it's delivered
Our training is live and interactive — real-time instruction and Q&A, not pre-recorded videos. Sessions run
1-on-1 or as a group, tailored to you and your desired outcomes, and can be structured as half-day intensives, full days, or a multi-session programme for deeper upskilling.
Remote
The most flexible and cost-effective option. We train live over screen-share on your own machine — personal or work — so you learn in the environment you actually model in. Ideal for individual engineers and remote teams anywhere.
In Bristol
Hands-on, in-person training at our Bristol venue — Future Space, UWE Frenchay Campus, BS34 8RB. Best for focused 1-on-1 sessions or small groups who want to learn face-to-face with dedicated space and kit.
On-site, UK-wide
We come to you. On-site training at your office anywhere in the UK — ideal for bringing a whole team up to one standard on your own templates and live projects. Travel arranged as part of the booking.
