This sounds right. Coordinating the MEP on a project is huge which is why people like me get paid retarded sums of money to build accurate models that virtually build an entire project before they even break ground.

BIM is great until you start getting electrical panels feeding themselves. I'm consistently amazed by revit and not in a good way.

Yeah, Revit is great for everything except for electrical design and has been for years. You're much better off using AutoCAD MEP (devices are your friend) since it's much, much better for electrical design while still giving you about 95-98% of the BIM functionality that Revit gives you.

If you set electrical equipment to a "Demolished" phase it just deletes it.

The MEP side of revit is jankey as hell but its required where I work so its what I'm stuck with. At leas t device placement is easy.
