ARES Neo: Automating BIM Documentation and QA/QC at Scale for Revit and IFC

Thousands of views. The same annotation setup rebuilt on every project. One model change, and another full round of checks. Where does documentation time actually go, and how much is avoidable? Drawing on early projects processed with ARES Neo, including high-volume sheet sets, this talk examines the benefits of processing annotation and review outside BIM authoring tools such as Revit. We’ll show how this processing scales and how your firm’s settings can be defined once and shared across projects, reducing the documentation burden on your Revit team and freeing time to focus on model quality. Through real-world examples, we’ll share where automation is working and where projects push back, including cross-view verification and project-specific exceptions. Attendees will leave with a practical way to identify duplicated documentation effort, a clearer sense of which checks can be automated today, and an honest view of where human judgment remains essential.
