BIM is only for bigfirms and big projects.

Getting started with BIM doesn’t have to be costly. The Autodesk® AutoCAD® Revit® LT Suite is an affordableway to get started with creating high-quality 3D models and includes both Autodesk® Revit® LT and

Autodesk® AutoCAD LT® software. With the new rental model, you can get it for as low as $42/month.*

“As our knowledge & skills improve, and our project sizes & number of jobs grow, we will look to the functionality of full Revit licensing. For now, in the early stages of this new process of design, Revit LT provides a greataffordable base during the transition.”
