Abstract - This project focuses on the planning, layout design and 3D modelling of a G+2 duplex residential building using Autodesk Revit software based on Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. The main objective of the project is to develop an accurate architectural model that includes floor plans, elevations, sections, 3D views, and detailed building components in an integrated digital environment. Revit allows all building elements such as walls, doors, windows, floors, roofs, and staircases to be modelled parametrically, which helps in making quick modifications and maintaining coordination between drawings. The duplex house layout is designed to accommodate two residential units with proper space planning, ventilation, lighting, circulation, and functional room arrangements. The ground floor, first floor, and second floor layouts are prepared according to residential building planning standards. The model also includes structural components, levels, grids, and material applications to create a realistic building representation. Using Revit, the complete building model is developed in 3D along with rendering and walkthrough views for better visualization of the project. The project demonstrates how Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools like Revit can be effectively used for residential building design, modelling, and documentation. It improves design accuracy, reduces drafting errors, saves time in making revisions, and helps in better project visualization and presentation. The final outcome of the project includes detailed 2D drawings, a 3D building model, rendered views, and a complete duplex house layout prepared using Revit software.
