About
Twenty years in Revit, a mill house in Carolina, and a mountain in Montana. The man, the films, and the work.
Bitch and Gripe
Every Monday morning the industry gets roasted. These are Brian's redlines. Yours go on the board too.
Hive
Construction families, built fast and built light by people who work in real projects.
Tutorials
About 107 hours of recorded Revit lessons, plus every answer from the streams. Search them all at once.
Training
Two free courses, live every week, taught in a real model. Bring your questions; they get answered as we go.
Family Download
Free. No sign-up, ever. Sorted the way a Revit project is really built: system, annotation, and model families.
Best Family
The first family Brian ever built. Private for now.
Evolve past the hourly model
In most firms, a Revit user who gets twice as fast gets twice the workload, not twice the pay. The time you save goes to someone else. User Evolution means learning the software well and then keeping the value of what you know.
Own your tools
Know what you pay for and what you keep. A perpetual license, your own templates, your own library.
Turn skill into assets
Families, templates, and tools you build once keep earning. Twenty years of families became this library.
Sell results, not hours
Price the outcome: a coordinated model, a shop drawing set, a manufacturer's catalog. Faster work then means more money, not more work.
Own your time
Finish the week's work in two days and decide what the other three are for.
On a Caesars Palace casino resort in Virginia, the plan called for 18 BIM operators on the mechanical and plumbing coordination model and shop drawings. Brian offered to do the whole job for a fixed price and was told to do it the general contractor's way instead. He did the work alone, stayed the only trade on schedule, and both contractors signed off happy. The industry paid for headcount. The year's work paid for a mountaintop in Montana.
Ask. Watch. Find it later.
There are different kinds of streams, with one rule: every stream stops to solve your Revit question, so the group and every user in it evolves. Every answer becomes a short video, filed by topic, so the next person with the same problem finds it in seconds.
Ask
Join the stream and type your question in chat, or come on screen as a guest from your browser. Families, views, schedules, worksharing, sheets: anything Revit.
Watch it solved
The AI proposes a fix, Brian tests it in a live model, and you see what works, what doesn't, and why.
Find it later
Each answer is cut into a short and added to the tutorials, searchable by topic and keyword.
The weekly lineup
Monday Morning Roast
Autodesk's choices, managers' poor practices, and the industry's most common mistakes and pitfalls. Why we keep failing at the big picture while we rack up small wins in spite of our own bad decisions. And like every stream, your Revit questions get solved live.
Family Building Fundamentals
Building Revit families the right way, from the ground up: reference planes, parameters, nesting, type catalogs, and clean geometry that won't bloat a model. Worked live on real families from a manufacturer catalog.
Revit Fundamentals
BIM, not just AIM: a beginner's course that builds one model the way a building is built, every trade in it. Site and structure, the enclosure, then the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, coordination, and sheets. Start from zero and finish with a real, coordinated project. Bring your questions; they get answered as we go.
The Review
We watch what the industry's leaders are teaching, from podcasts to seminars to training courses, and step in with alternative methods that work better. First up: Brian's own early videos, so you can see how the methods have evolved.
Harvest Night
Two birds, one stone: open a past project, review how that type of job gets built, and harvest its best families and system types into the free library, graded live. The first Wednesday after launch, Dec 2, opens with a one-night special: The Ethics of It.
What's Next, with Japhy
How AI and other software will change the way you use Revit. Brian and Japhy, the man who wouldn't stop talking about Rhino, Grasshopper, and AI until he was proven right, show what's already possible and where it's headed.
Homestead Saturday
No stream. Brian is off the computer, cutting firewood and doing the chores that keep a homestead running at 7,000 feet. He films the day, and the week's homestead video goes up Saturday night.
Best Family
Private for now. Sunday evenings with Brian and his daughters. If you have the password, you're family.
Live in more than one place
There is no left or right above 6,000 feet. Just up and down.
The same stream goes out to several platforms at once, and none of them is a side. Watch wherever you already are.
