Why Practiced?
Because we just get this stuff.
We get 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.
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 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.
