FARIS Toolkit is a free MEP toolkit for Autodesk Revit, made by Faris. It adds a FARIS TOOLS tab to the Revit ribbon with 66 commands in 8 panels for project setup, MEP modelling, data and parameters, coordination, QA/QC, documentation and views.
Tools may show a preview or ask for confirmation; behavior differs by command. Test on a disposable copy and verify the result and undo behavior before using a tool on a project. The toolkit works offline: no account, no sign-in, and no data is sent anywhere.
You need one download: FARIS_Toolkit_Setup_1.0.exe. It installs for your Windows user only and does not need admin rights.
The installer puts an Autodesk application bundle in %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\FarisToolkit.bundle.
Revit 2024 and Revit 2025 each load their matching build from it automatically.
Without the installer: download FARIS_Toolkit_1.0_bundle.zip, close Revit, and unzip the FarisToolkit.bundle
folder into %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins (create the folder if it doesn't exist).
Check your download: SHA256 checksums are published in SHA256SUMS.txt next to the downloads.
FarisToolkit.bundle folder instead.Your settings, profiles, logs and reports in %AppData%\FARIS Toolkit are kept. Delete that folder if you don't need them.

Evidence limits: A recorded Revit 2025.5 Self-Test reports 39 passes, but its linked-model case was not exercised. The 57-test source project is older and does not establish 1.0 coverage. Final-installer validation in Revit 2024 remains outstanding.
FARIS Toolkit works offline. It needs no account and sends no data anywhere: no model data, no usage data, no personal data.
Settings, profiles, logs (FARIS_yyyyMMdd.log) and reports are stored only on your computer, in %AppData%\FARIS Toolkit.
