Good Morning,

I need some input on a potential position that I may be able to hire within the next year. 

What is a good hourly rate to pay a Revit operator that can create quality drawings.  The buildings will be as built drawings converted to a LOD 3 BIM model (basic structure, doors, windows, walls, clg, exterior features)

Thanks!

I don't think you will get a good answer to this question because there are too many variables:

1. Where are you?
2. What discipline?
3. What experience do you have in your discipline?
4. What eperience do you have putting a Revit document set together?  (Doesn't sound like any)

Revit can create some nice looking drawings that might not be worth anything if the user doesn't know how a building really goes together.

Where are you? Alabama

What discipline? Architectural

What experience do you have in your discipline?  I have nearly 20 years in this field with 5 using Revit

What eperience do you have putting a Revit document set together? (Doesn't sound like any) I am very experienced using Revit, from BIM, to documents.  I have put together over 2 million sq. ft. of BIM models.  I am in the process of implementing BIM into our day to day operations as Facility Management tool. 

This is not for me, this is for a potential hire that I will be making within the next 6-12 mos.   I have 2 AutoCAD users working for me now, but I will need a Revit operator and there are not that many in my area, that's why I am looking for average hourly rate.

I suppose I'm curious... what others are paid, naturally to judge if I'm being paid too little.  

but it's of course a touchy subject and I doubt anyone is going to go first with their salary.

Your clarification helps.

In our area and specifivcally in our office, our staff are all graduate or licensed architects, no BIM/CAD only operators so I can't help with your question but AUGI conducts a salary questionaire and the resu

I would think you could get someone for around $15.00/hr who may have below average skills with less than 2 years experience.  However if you find a quality candidate who clearly demonstrates their mastery of Revit Architecture, then that person knows they can get $20 to $25.00/hr.  Every firm I've interviewed with in the past 3 years clearly states Revit skills are among the highest of their qualifications.
