Revit Add-in Development & BIM Automation
Custom automation solutions that eliminate repetitive BIM tasks, dramatically improve productivity, and let your team focus on high-value design and engineering work.
Service Overview
Stop Doing Manually What a Script Can Do
BIM productivity bottlenecks rarely come from a lack of talent — they come from repetitive, manual tasks that consume hours every week. Renaming elements, updating parameters, generating sheets, checking model compliance, extracting quantities — these are tasks that software should handle, not your engineers.
At BIM Automates, we specialise in developing custom Revit automation tools — from lightweight Dynamo scripts that solve a specific workflow problem, to fully deployed Revit add-ins built in C# or Python that integrate seamlessly into your existing BIM environment.
Every automation solution we build starts with a deep understanding of your workflow pain points. We analyse where time is lost, quantify the cost of manual effort, and design automation that pays for itself — typically within a single project cycle.

Key Offerings
Automation Solutions We Build
01
Custom Revit Add-ins (C# / Python)
Fully deployed .dll add-ins that extend Revit’s native functionality — automating batch operations, custom exporters, project setup tools, naming automators, and integrated QA/QC checks that run inside Revit with a single click.
02
Dynamo Script Development
Custom Dynamo and Dynamo Player scripts for geometry manipulation, parameter population, element placement, schedule generation, and data exchange — packaged for easy use by non-technical BIM team members.
03
Model Auditing & QA/QC Tools
Automated model health checks — validating naming conventions, checking required parameters are populated, identifying unplaced elements, flagging geometry issues, and producing compliance reports ready for BIM Manager review.
04
Parametric & Smart Workflow Automation
Intelligent parametric families and assemblies that drive design variations automatically — plus smart workflows that link Revit to Excel, Power BI, or external databases for real-time data synchronisation.
05
BIM Process Optimisation
A comprehensive review of your current BIM workflows to identify automation opportunities — delivered as a prioritised roadmap of automation interventions with estimated ROI for each, ready to implement progressively.
06
Training & Documentation
Every tool we build comes with user documentation and a handover training session — ensuring your team can operate, modify, and maintain the automation independently without ongoing dependency on us.
Our Approach
How We Build Your Automation
We follow a structured development process — from discovery to deployment — ensuring every automation tool is purpose-built, robust, and genuinely adopted by your team.
Technologies We Use
Revit API
Dynamo
C#
Python
.NET
WPF UI
Excel / Power BI
Navisworks API
1
Workflow Discovery
We spend time with your team to deeply understand the repetitive tasks consuming the most time — observing real workflows, mapping steps, and identifying the highest-impact automation targets.
2
Solution Design & Scoping
We define the automation logic, UI requirements, data inputs/outputs, and edge cases — presenting a clear specification document for your approval before any development begins.
3
Development & Internal Testing
We develop the tool using agile sprints — building core functionality first, then adding robustness, error handling, and UI polish. Internal testing covers a wide range of model types and edge cases.
4
Client UAT & Iteration
You test the tool against real project data. We gather feedback, resolve issues, and refine the tool through one or more iteration cycles until it perfectly matches your needs.
5
Deployment & Team Training
We deploy the add-in or script to your team’s machines, deliver a training session, and hand over user documentation — ensuring immediate adoption and self-sufficiency.
6
Support & Updates
We offer ongoing support packages covering Revit version compatibility updates, bug fixes, and enhancement requests as your workflows evolve and your team finds new automation opportunities.
