Technical installations can account for up to half of the building costs and it is crucial to have detailed projects for the assembly and maintenance of these systems. This means that workflow can be improved more efficiently and faster. With the help of the installation engineer, the beneficiary can track and control the correct execution of the works. The installation engineer is the link between the beneficiary and the contractor or those who deliver the materials and equipment, people who generally follow works and additional sales. As regards the design of technical installations, the development of versatile low-response software interfaces becomes necessary and appropriate. The article is focused on the interface that has been developed as a software instrument to increase design process productivity and optimization of technical installations by reducing the required work time and the number of clicks made. Inside the application, the Revit design software was used and the number of clicks needed to access the element linking and node troubleshooting of the technical installations was reduced. Two new functionalities have been created within the software application: “connect and copy” and “connect and rotate”.
