Pirros

“Our launch has gone very well and people are loving the platform.”

“It's intuitive and easy to use. It has transformed my firm's ability to share details between projects.”

“Pirros has been a massive help in searching for details. Prior to Pirros, I had been working on compiling/consolidating details across multiple higher-ed projects and it was such a drag to sit and wait for older Revit files to upgrade and open, copy over details, deal with the messy linework... I'm getting frustrated just talking about it.”

“I pulled up Pirros during a meeting with a colleague to look at some different details together and we were thrilled at how fast it was to compare details and discuss assemblies with this tool.”

““We’ve always steered toward tools that allow a lot of input and feedback. Everyone should be able to have their hands on it.””

““The paradigm shift is realizing that having someone manage this process supports everyone,” said Orrin. “Before, we’d say, ‘We just need more architects.’ Now, with Pirros, we see that investing in better content management actually makes every architect more effective.””

““The commitment from the Pirros team when we were first onboarded really showed me where they stood,” he said. “They’ve followed through ever since. It’s just a good product—and the more people use it, the better it gets.””

““We also use Pirros as a tool to vet details,” Orrin explained. “Vetted details filter into our Revit template, and then back into Pirros. It’s a feedback loop that keeps everything organized and current.””

““The trigger point was the low barrier to entry,” Orrin recalled. “You upload a few projects to Pirros and you’re up and running. The amount of work it took to get started with Pirros was almost nothing.””

“We talked to each other afterwards, and thought, ‘that seemed like it would fit perfectly.’”

“If we can make people’s lives easier, then we knew that Pirros was worth it, as it helped us make work easier and better for our people.”

“The hands-on support, immediate feedback, and quality of technical support is great,”

“Managing our database of over 2,000 details is certainly easier now,”

“If I want a detail, I can be looking at it within 10 seconds.”

““Number TEN has always been very progressive about trying to adopt technology, but I don't think they go too soon either. When AI first came out, there was a lot of excitement around it, but we were still trying to understand where it could provide practical value. We’re now at a point where we are seeing applications that could genuinely support our work.””

““When you’re working on a school, experience tells you many of the items that require particular attention. This platform can reinforce that process by consistently highlighting relevant items that may warrant another look.””

““The design is always changing. The Revit model is a living organism, and design is iterative. The Revit model is continually evolving, and changes can have implications across multiple disciplines and drawing areas. That is why ongoing coordination and QA/QC remain so important. We think, in theory, that details should work just fine, and then later down the line, oh, that's a coordination problem. We're always doing QA/QC up until the last minute on production drawings.””

““One of the things I’ve noticed from Pirros is the reactiveness,” Kravec says. “We'd make comments about certain elements, and we'd see them in the next release.””

“It's a quick way to see our typical detail and what to expect.”

“The updates from our Pirros library champions are much easier to track than our previous method, which relied on a large Bluebeam session with many details and markups”

“Many small firms have no established infrastructure for drawing and Revit standards. In the five years I've been at CRAFT, we've grown in that area in leaps and bounds.”

“What used to be a ten-minute task I would put off is now quick.”

“It has been the easiest adoption of any new Revit process or plug-in I've used.”

“I can search for a detail in a web browser and find it in seconds, whether I'm reviewing it with a colleague or refreshing my own memory, instead of opening a Revit model and parsing through every detail view.”

“Honestly, this is the only BIM tool I've rolled out that's gotten universal excitement,”
