Preparing Construction
Documents
To create a construction document set in Revit Architecture, you create sheets, and add drawings and schedules to the
sheets. Then you can print the sheets or publish them in another format, such as DWF, for electronic sharing and review.
You can send the construction documents to the field, where clients or reviewers can mark up the designs for revisions.
Revit Architecture provides tools for tracking the revisions.

Construction Documents Overview

Construction documents are the records that you share with clients, engineers, and construction professionals
to communicate a design. For example, clients need to see floor plans, elevations, and 3D drawings of the
design for approval. Engineers from other disciplines will want to see those drawings, as well as more detailed
drawings, to help them understand the building model and how it affects their work. Construction
professionals need all of these drawings, as well as schedules and material takeoffs, to build the design.
A construction document set (also called a drawing set or a sheet set) consists of several sheets. Each sheet
contains one or more drawings and schedules for the building design.
