1. Define the requirements in Plannerly
Teams define structured requirements in Plannerly: elements, milestones, IFC classes and parameter rules.
Revit plugin case study
Revit just got smarter: plan, fill in and check requirements while you model
A BIM developer and practitioner in Luxembourg, supported by the Plannerly team, built a Revit plugin for teams working to government BIM standards in Belgium and Luxembourg. Requirements defined in Plannerly arrive in Revit as a tool palette, ready to fill in and check.

About the collaboration
This collaboration features a BIM developer and practitioner based in Luxembourg, supported by the Plannerly team. It was built for design and construction teams using Revit in government-standard BIM environments like Belgium and Luxembourg.
The challenge
Traditional BIM workflows inside Revit were fragmented and painful:
- Requirements arrived in clunky PDFs or spreadsheets
- Modellers struggled to interpret and apply requirements correctly
- There was no consistent way to check whether models met project or government expectations
- Teams in the same company often worked differently, even on the same types of projects
- Government mandates (for example BIMids.eu) gave guidance, but no simple tools to put it into practice
We all kind of chose our own preferred method... but as a standard, it was definitely not something teams regularly aligned on.
What they built
A custom Revit plugin - built by BIM pros, for BIM pros.
2. Export them
The requirements are exported as structured Excel files.
3. Work in Revit
In a new tool palette in Revit, users import the file and straight away:
- See the required parameters by team, phase and milestone
- Fill in values with dropdowns, date pickers and rule-based validation
- See progress instantly
- Avoid duplicate parameters, thanks to unique GUID management
The impact
- Smoother workflows: modellers enter and check the right data while modelling - no second screens, no PDF cross-checking
- Time savings: parameter creation, category linking and validation used to be manual, and are now automated
- Built-in languages: configurations for Luxembourg and Belgium (French, German, Dutch and English) keep things clear across regions
- Easy to scale: teams can share the same validated requirements across their whole project
In their own words
If you follow the government track, just click the button. It's already done for you.
