About this asset

This Revit family provides a compliant timber guardrail system designed for temporary site safety and edge protection in Revit projects. Constructed from standard dimensional lumber, this temporary guardrail assembly features a vertical post, a robust horizontal top rail, a mid-rail, and a base kick-plate. The system is braced with a diagonal support member that anchors to the floor slab, ensuring stability and structural integrity. The geometry reflects typical site-built safety measures, with clean, unadorned connections suitable for construction documentation and site logistics planning. The materials are represented with a natural wood finish, clearly distinguishing the temporary structure from the permanent building elements within the model environment.

The download is a 614 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this family into your project and place it along floor edges or stairwells to indicate required safety zones. Since it is a Revit family, you can modify the length and spacing of the segments to fit your site boundary. Use the parameters to adjust the height or material finish if required for specific site conditions. It is best practice to keep this on a dedicated workset for temporary site works, allowing you to toggle visibility off during final design presentations.

Essential for construction stage documentation, this guardrail is used to demonstrate adherence to safety regulations on building sites. It is ideal for BIM coordination meetings where site logistics, edge protection, and fall prevention strategies are discussed. Architects and site managers use this to mark out dangerous zones in residential, commercial, or industrial project models. It pairs perfectly with site-based equipment, scaffolding, and construction machinery assets to build a comprehensive, safe, and realistic representation of the construction phase workflow.
