Service

MEP BIM services

Air, water and power routed in 3D, so installers get a plan that already fits.

In plain words

MEP means mechanical, electrical and plumbing: the ducts, pipes and cables inside a building. We draw every one of them in 3D, find where they collide with each other or with the structure, and produce drawings installers can build from.

What it is

MEP BIM, explained.

MEP is where buildings get crowded. Ducts, pipes, cable trays and sprinklers all compete for the same space above the ceiling, and they have to clear beams, columns and each other. Modeling them in 3D before installation turns a site argument into a desktop fix.

We model HVAC, plumbing, electrical and fire protection to the codes and standards of the project's location, route services with sensible 45-degree transitions and access clearances, and prepare the model so it can be coordinated and turned into shop drawings.

What is included

What we build and deliver.

Mechanical (HVAC)

Ducts, fittings, air terminals, equipment, chilled water and refrigerant pipework.

Plumbing and drainage

Water supply, soil and waste, storm drainage, fixtures and pump rooms.

Electrical

Cable trays, conduit runs, panels, lighting layouts and containment.

Fire protection

Sprinkler mains, branches, heads and risers modeled to the design criteria supplied.

Shop drawings

Mechanical, plumbing and electrical installation drawings extracted from the coordinated model.

Quantities and families

Take-offs by system and size, and MEP Revit families for manufacturer-specific equipment.

Questions

Common questions.

Can you design the MEP systems?

We model the systems your engineer has designed. Where design information is incomplete, we raise a query rather than guess, and record the assumption we proceed on.

Do you produce shop drawings?

Yes. Once the model is coordinated and signed off, mechanical, plumbing and electrical shop drawings are extracted from it, so what is drawn is what was checked.

Which codes do you work to?

The ones your project specifies. Tell us the jurisdiction and standards at the start, and we model to them.
