Packs 101

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

People keep asking me about our new Family Packs and how they work - what they cover, how long they last, etc. I was going to write about a few ideas we’re developing for enterprise tools, but since I think the packs offer fantastic value to our customers, I thought I should take advantage of the extra real estate to clarify all their ins and outs.

Okay, let’s say you buy the Family Pack 50. That means your account gets credited with a license to order and download up to 50 Revit families from Broutek. I say “order and download” because you’re not limited to the families already in our library. If we don’t have a family you need, you simply submit your request and we build the family for you at no extra charge, usually within 48 hours.

But the real value of our packs is in their fixed pricing per family, which can add up to huge savings over buying families one at a time. Using the 50 Pack as an example again, our current price of $2,400 breaks down to $48 per family. That’s about 33% less expensive than almost any individual family you can find in our Library. If you purchased our largest Family Pack of 500, you’d be saving roughly 70% per family. And your Family Pack never expires, so you don’t have to worry about whether you’ll need new families today, next week, or next month. Packs are perfect for longer-term projects, firms with full-time Revit teams, in fact pretty much anyone who will be working in Revit on a regular basis.

Our goal at Broutek is to provide customers with fast, flexible and affordable access to high-quality content, so you can use Revit instead of making Revit. I think our Family Packs are a great step in that direction, and I hope I’ve convinced you to give them a try. If not, then I hope at least you’re not still scratching your head about them!

2008: looking ahead.

Friday, January 4th, 2008

2007 has been a big year for all of us at Broutek. We’ve gone from idea to launch, and worked hard to create a full-service website backed by an expert team of Revit modelers. Looking back over the past 9 months, we have come a long way, and our expectations have been greatly exceeded, thanks in large part to your interest and feedback. Exhibiting at AU 2007 was a particularly exciting moment, and one that offered us the wonderful opportunity of meeting many of you face-to-face for the first time.

In the year to come, we aim to continue improving our service — the breadth of families available from our library, the turnaround time for filling family requests, and the ease of using our site. We will also be working on providing visitors with additional resources on Revit and BIM, as well as incorporating customer reviews of content. It is our hope that Broutek can help make your 2008 a little less stressful, and quite a bit more productive. We look forward to being in touch and continuing to serve all of your Revit content needs.

On behalf of the Broutek Team, I wish you a prosperous 2008.
