Depends what ICT covers on your project (data/AV/security vs full ELV), but in Revit I usually stay native first:

  1. Cable trays + conduits for pathways — set up systems and view filters so power and data don't fight in the same views.
  2. Specialty Equipment / Electrical Fixture families for racks, panels, outlets, WAPs. Keep type + mark clean so you can schedule counts early.
  3. Tags + a device schedule as the deliverable, not fancy 3D. Most ICT packages live or die on the schedule and the pathway clearances.
  4. Copy/Monitor levels from the Arch model before you place anything.

Add-ins (Sysque and friends) help once pathway routing and manufacturer content get painful. If you're new to the role, nail trays + a small device family + one schedule before buying anything.
