The relationship between architectural design and hardware specification has traditionally been a fragmented one. Today, a greater number of projects require collaborative design tools, and professionals need innovation in this space. Consort Architectural Hardware aims to meet these modern architectural demands with the launch of its intelligent Revit integration software.
With its new Revit integration system, Consort is introducing a connected workflow between architectural models and door scheduling. The advanced digital platform enables architects to upload and analyse Revit models directly within the application, supporting an efficient data-led approach, where door data is interpreted, structured and prepared for hardware scheduling.
Through secure access and a purpose-built Revit plugin, users can establish direct communication between their model and Consort’s platform. With a unique project ID, architects can initiate a structured data extraction process that captures valuable information including door parameters, attributes and key project information straight from the model. Once complete, both the architect and Consort’s team receive confirmation, ensuring transparency and design alignment from the outset.
Following analysis, the workflow can transition seamlessly into the technical stage. A mapping interface aligns Revit parameters with the internal scheduling structure, ensuring critical data - such as room locations, door types, performance requirements and dimensional attributes - is translated accurately. The system then generates a comprehensive door schedule, with minimal manual input required, significantly reducing the risk of errors in the process.
A standout feature of Consort’s new platform is its interactive visual interface, which includes linked 2D and 3D models. With a suite of visuals, users can navigate the project intuitively, selecting doors within the schedule and instantly locating them within the model, or vice versa. This bi-directional functionality further enhances coordination, particularly on complex schemes, and allows for rapid validation of information.
With the door schedule in place, estimators can prepare detailed hardware sets tailored to each door, using Consort’s product data to ensure consistency and compliance throughout. Once finalised, door schedules, specifications, updated parameters and BIM objects are exported back into the Revit model. Each door is also embedded with a hardware set reference and a smart link, providing immediate access to detailed product information, imagery and technical documentation.
Consort is complementing this new digital innovation by showcasing its bespoke product capabilities and material expertise at Clerkenwell Design Week. In partnership with Material Source, Consort’s team of experts are inviting visitors to stand MSS7 between 19th - 21st May 2026, where they can explore products up close and take away samples of finishes and materials. Between metals, stone, leather and specialist finishes, complete freedom will be offered in material selection, with expanded finishing capabilities ensuring colour and surface quality align with project intent.
