About us

C-ville RUG was founded in July 2011 by Bethany Pritchard, a Revit enthusiast and BIM consultant to several firms in Charlottesville at the time. Today she is the Director of Design Technology at VMDO Architects. The group has grown over the years and is managed by a board of directors where Bethany is joined by Sidney Griffin, Matthew Kavanaugh, William Abrahamson, Robert Glover, Sal DiPietro, Karim Habbab, John Trevor and Ying Fan.

We are a collaborative group, sharing tips and tricks as well as best practices, processes and workflows for working with Autodesk Revit and related software. Anyone who currently works with Revit or is interested in learning more about it is invited to join our group.

Experienced group members are happy to share their experiences to advise and guide prospective offices considering an upgrade to Revit. You’ll find out what it really takes to make the transition and if you’re ready to take the plunge!

C’ville RUG has consistently provided high quality education and networking opportunities for area AEC professionals from all disciplines. Attendance draws from across Central VA and since we moved to hybrid meetings has grown to include members joining form all across the country virtually.

C’ville RUG has hosted national BIM industry leaders and offered a platform for local practitioners to present topic specific expertise while always providing an open forum for peer-to-peer learning on technical solutions, practice management, and exposure to cutting-edge technologies (3D scanning, construction coordination, AR/VR, generative design, energy/carbon design strategies, AI, third party add-ins, etc.).
