Outcome Snapshot
Bergman Walls & Associates (BWA) is a Las Vegas architecture firm known for hospitality, entertainment, and commercial projects. Revit is central to its design process, but the firm had no established script library, no automation program, and no reliable way to share custom tools across the team.
With Maestro, BWA’s BIM Manager can turn an identified workflow problem into a usable Revit tool in hours, then make it available across the office in minutes. The firm has developed more than 30 custom tools and shortcuts, reported a 95% reduction in tool-deployment time, and seen a 10X increase in new tools.

The Challenge
BWA needed automation to be sustainable, visible, and easy to maintain without requiring everyone involved to have a programming background.
Before Maestro, efficiency gains from custom Revit tools were limited to individuals. There was no central script library, no system for distributing tools to the broader team, and no straightforward way to connect designers with internal standards and project resources from within Revit.
The firm wanted a platform that would lower the overhead of creating tools, make workflows accessible from the Revit interface, and support firm-wide deployment without adding technical friction.
The Maestro Approach
Maestro gave BWA one place to create, manage, and deploy custom Revit tools. The approach combines AI-assisted scripting, a customized Revit ribbon, and direct deployment.
Start With The Problem, Not The Code
BWA uses Maestro’s script editor to generate a Revit-compatible Python starting point from natural-language input. The AI handles much of the boilerplate and initial logic, while users review and refine the code for project-specific needs.
That lowers the barrier to automation without removing technical ownership. The BIM Manager can lead development while helping more people recognize where automation can improve routine work.
Put Tools And Standards Where Designers Work
With Maestro’s Ribbon Manager, BWA built a custom Revit ribbon that links directly to internal standards, reference files, and project-specific tools. Designers can reach the resources they need without leaving their workflow or relying on an individual workaround.
Deploy To The Whole Office In Minutes
Once a tool is finalized, Maestro makes it available to the team through BWA’s custom ribbon. This gives the firm a repeatable way to distribute tools and documentation consistently, without asking IT to develop and maintain a separate deployment workflow.
Using Maestro we have been able to easily create custom tools that have transformed many internal workflows, boosting effectiveness and efficiency for all project deliverables and we were able to do all of that without an in-depth knowledge or a background in programming.
The Outcome
Since adopting Maestro, BWA has developed a repeatable process for identifying internal challenges and solving them through automation. Its BIM Manager can now move from an idea to a usable tool in hours. Once approved, that tool is immediately available to designers across the office.
The shift changes how the firm sees everyday friction. Problems once accepted as routine are now candidates for scripting and automation. As tools become easier to create and share, BWA is building technical fluency across the team and making standards easier to access as the company grows.
In addition to simplifying custom tool creation, Maestro has made it possible to globally deploy the custom tools to project teams in a matter of minutes.
The result is a more proactive design technology strategy: BWA can create tools as project and team needs emerge, keep shared resources visible in Revit, and scale useful workflows beyond the people who first developed them.
