FAR Quality Control

One of the issues I see with all of the websites offering Revit families is the lack of Quality Control (QC). I have been told that some of those websites have QC, however, when I asked and never received a response, it lead me to believe there wasn’t any QC to talk about. I welcome a response comment from anyone reading this blog who has information regarding the QC standards from any of the websites offering Revit families.

As we start providing the FAR program we will be implementing a QC program that I want every end user to know about and be aware of. An important part of the FAR program QC will be the testing procedure that is in the midst of being developed at this time. This testing procedure will be used for all Revit families that will be created and accessible thru the FAR program whether it is a Revit family or FAR data.

The FAR testing procedure will not be public knowledge (meaning it will not be posted on our website) but will be available only to our customers. We will also provide, upon request, the actual testing document of any family to show that we are adhering to the QC standard we have set for the FAR program. If someone has issues or suggestions regarding the FAR testing procedure and/or testing results, we will be happy to talk about those concerns.

One of the long term goals we are trying to achieve with the FAR program is not to just create the families and walk away, but to promote the continuous improvement in the quality of creating automated Revit families while improving the communication between the manufacturer and AEC industry.

I encourage you to respond with your comments regarding Quality Controls and Revit families. You can also contact me if you would like to schedule a demo of the FAR program.
