In today’s fast-paced AEC industry, timelines are shrinking, budgets are tightening, and clients expect nothing less than perfection. At Conserve Solutions, we faced the same challenge—how to consistently deliver high-quality BIM outputs, faster, and error-free, without burning out our teams.
The answer didn’t come overnight. It came from necessity. What started as a collection of Dynamo scripts eventually evolved into Conserve Box, a Revit plugin that transformed the way we work, scaling BIM automation across projects.
This is the story of how repetition turned into innovation.
1. Overview of Conserve Box
Conserve Box is a fully integrated Revit plugin built to eliminate repetitive tasks in BIM workflows. Developed in-house by our R&D team and refined through live project challenges, it is now available globally on the Autodesk App Store.
By combining automation, customization, and real-world feedback, Conserve Box helps BIM teams:
- Automate routine modelling and documentation tasks.
- Standardize QA/QC checks across projects
- Accelerate delivery timelines without compromising quality
2. Key ESG Compliance Requirements
Before Conserve Box, our teams spent countless hours on repetitive activities like:
- Modelling, sheet creation, tagging, and dimensioning
- QA/QC checks and model coordination
- Parameter management and family clean-up
We were trapped in the “triple constraint” of BIM projects:
- Extend deadlines
- Hire more people
- Or compromise quality
None of these were sustainable. Skilled professionals were stuck doing routine tasks instead of solving complex design and coordination challenges.
This was the trigger: we needed to rethink how BIM production was done.
- Modelling, sheet creation, tagging, and dimensioning
3. From Dynamo to Conserve Box
Our first step was building automation through Dynamo for Revit.
- We developed scripts for the most time-consuming, error-prone tasks
- We saw dramatic improvements—what took 8 hours could be done in 10 minutes
- Adoption grew as teams experienced the time savings firsthand
But Dynamo had its limits. That’s when we transitioned to a full C# + Revit API-based plugin—and Conserve Box was born.
4. Key Features of Conserve Box
Automated Documentation – Auto-sheet creation, tagging, and dimensioning with predefined standards
QA/QC Tools – Error detection and correction built into workflows
Model Management – Family cleanup, parameter controls, and model health check
Productivity Boosters – One-click commands for daily repetitive tasks
Usage Tracking – Built-in analytics to monitor adoption and refine features
5. Real Impact: Results That Speak
Implementing Conserve Box across projects brought measurable outcomes:
- 90% reduction in repetitive task time
- 70% fewer errors in QA/QC checks
- Increased capacity to handle more projects with the same manpower
- Standardized workflows across disciplines and geographies
Automation didn’t just save time—it gave our people the freedom to focus on design intelligence, coordination, and client value creation.
6. Beyond In-House: Scaling BIM Automation for Clients
Once our clients saw the impact, they asked us to build custom automation solutions for their workflows.
Today, we have delivered 10+ automation projects across BIM platforms including:
- Revit
- AutoCAD
- Navisworks
- BIM360 / ACC
- Synchro 4D
Each project was tailored, saving thousands of hours and ensuring consistency in deliverables.
Conclusion
Conserve Box is more than a plugin—it represents our philosophy of innovation at Conserve Solutions. By turning repetitive tasks into automated workflows, we empowered our teams to focus on what truly matters: delivering high-quality BIM solutions, faster, and smarter.
We didn’t just build a tool – we built a movement towards scalable BIM automation.
If you’re still stuck repeating the same BIM tasks for the 100th time, maybe it’s time you built your own Conserve Box. Or better yet, try ours.
