How do i estimate a renovation with an incomplete or messy model
1
Coordinate what is modelled, mark what is not and tighten the record as existing conditions get verified. A messy model does not stop coordination, but it limits what the comparison can see.

<p>Renovation models are often incomplete: existing conditions modelled loosely, demo scope implied rather than drawn, existing MEP missing.</p>
<ul><li>Publish what you have. The first snapshot becomes your baseline.</li><li>Pin an issue to every area where existing conditions are unverified, and tag whoever has to confirm them.</li><li>As survey and field findings arrive, update the model and publish again.</li><li>Compare each revision to the baseline. You see what moved by category.</li><li>Close issues only with a screenshot, a tagged user and the linked model commit.</li></ul>
<p>Set phases in Revit so existing, demo and new elements are separated. It makes every later review clearer.</p>
<p>If the existing conditions are poorly documented, BidLight's BIM services team does as-built modelling.</p>
