Why Practiced?
Because we just get this stuff.
We know that BIM and Revit are a connected system of parts that all affect each other. Materials, layers, parameters, graphics — they all work together.
Revit and BIM promise coordination and precision; but anyone who’s worked with them knows it’s not always that simple. What starts as a clean, elegant model can quickly turn into a tangle of inconsistent standards, scattered content, and bloated files that slow your team down. Even when you know what’s gone wrong, it can be hard to know where to start.
That’s why it’s important to have a knowledgeable partner like Practiced. We speak Revit and can help, regardless of where you are in your BIM journey.
We don’t just patch problems;
we build complete, thoughtful solutions.
Practiced BIM is more than a support service; we’re your partner dedicated to helping BIM work for you. We have years of hands-on experience building high-quality tools, templates, and content designed around how architects, engineers and construction teams really work. And when you need help, you won’t be stuck searching YouTube for answers — you’ll have real, on-demand support from people who built and understand your standards and setup.

PRACTICED IS
CREATIVE
We are always looking for new ideas, new ways of working and new challenges. We do our our best work exploring new ideas, motivated by the thrill of discovery.
CURIOUS
Our experience has shown us the value of asking questions and having an open mindset. We accomplish more by understanding the way things work and the way they could work.
RESPECTFUL
No one has ever been humiliated into excellence. We work to understand our clients needs as humans and we never work with teams or partners that don’t share our approach.
SYSTEMATIC
We look for connections between things so we can better understand the whole, and the parts. You can’t solve problems in a system without systematic solutions.
MAGICAL
Half baked stuff that feels broken steals the joy that comes from doing good work. We deliver solutions that just work, so you can go out and do the fun stuff.
FORWARD LOOKING
We are early adopters, carefully peaking into the future, because seeing what’s what’s coming next is the best way to build durable and scalable solutions.
PRACTICED PEOPLE
Founder, Owner
Dan’s been building 3D models since before BIM was a buzzword. He got his start more than twenty-five years ago, making 3D models for friends and clients with Form-Z on an old PowerMac G3 — back when “render time” meant you went to make a sandwich.
After studying architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, Dan spent nearly two decades working for top architecture and design firms such as Selldorf Architects and Peter Pennoyer Architects, working as project manager on everything from elaborate high-end residences to large-scale institutional and commercial buildings.
Somewhere along the way, he realized he loved the process of making technology work for design. That led to a focus on Revit, BIM, and digital workflows — developing tools, standards, and systems that helped his colleagues spend less time troubleshooting and more time designing.
Dan also brings a strong IT background to the mix, with experience in everything from building and managing Windows networks to deploying and integrating enterprise systems like Deltek and OpenAsset.
