Revit/BIM

Updated on 12/6/2025

I have been working very hard over the last three and a half months to learn Revit. I enrolled in courses with VDCI (Virtual Design & Construction Institute). To date, I have completed the BIM 101 beginner course, the BIM 201 intermediate course, and the BIM 322 Revit Plumbing course. I earned an “A” grade in each of the three courses. My Certificates of Completion and my grades for each course can be seen here: BIM 101, 201, and 322 grades and certificates. In addition, my credentials for completing VDCI’s BIM 101 and BIM 201 courses can be seen here: https://www.credential.net.

The drawings that I made of a 2-story office building as my final submission for the BIM 201 course can be seen here: 2-story office building drawings.

The plumbing drawings that I made of a 2-story school as my final submission for the BIM 322 course can be seen here: BIM 322 course – Plumbing drawings. I also made a video that shows the drawings and the 3D model. It can be seen here: Video of my BIM 322 course plumbing drawings.

I took notes and wrote descriptions for each of the 239 tutorial videos that I watched and followed along with in the 3 Revit courses that I’ve taken. My notes consist of 30 pages and 19,511 words. If you are interested in seeing what I’ve learned, you can see my notes here: My Revit notes.

I enrolled in VDCI’s BIM 361 Introduction to Navisworks course today. It is supposed to take 3 – 4 weeks to complete.

I believe that I have a lot that I can offer to a company with my 40 years of experience of installing plumbing. I have designed plumbing systems in the field for decades before BIM ever existed. I am a licensed Master Plumber and I know the Plumbing Code. I also know the most efficient ways to design plumbing systems, saving labor and material on projects. And I know how plumbers would want to install the systems.

To be continued as I complete more courses…
