Over the past few years, ATG has been contracted to review dozens of Revit templates for our customers. From this experience, we developed a comprehensive approach and strategy on how we review that content.

You can check out the whitepaper I wrote, Evaluate Your Revit Project Template, for full documentation of our template assessment process. This whitepaper allows users with the knowledge and time to perform their own internal template evaluation. From this process, you can scope and even phase the work that needs to be completed, which can either be completed as an assigned internal project or contracted to outside professionals like ATG.
