MEP BIM

BIM solutions in MEP coordination have proven to result in improved work quality, faster design time and greater productivity , which ultimately lead to overall lower costs. Improved Quality: BIM enables flexibility to make changes to design or documentation. This leads to less coordination time and minimal manual checks.

Mechanical Services

Model mechanical systems, such as HVAC duct system using tools to place air terminals and mechanical equipment in a project. Use automatic system creation tools to create duct routing layouts

Plumbing Services

From determining tap size, to coordinating with civil engineers, to deciding the location of incoming utilities, we carefully orchestrate your plumbing solutions to integrate with your overall plan. We look at project objectives, materials and designs from many different angles to get it right.

Electrical

Model electrical systems to place lighting fixtures, cable trays, and electrical equipment in a project with required LOD and annotation. Coordinate electrical models with other disciplines/trades if required.

Coordination services

Improving the coordination process for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems on complex buildings and light industrial projects present an excellent opportunity to improve project performance through increased integration. Coordination involves defining locations for branch components of systems in congested spaces to avoid interference and comply with diverse design and operations criteria.

Case Study

CCTV conduits were to be placed inside the railing members . E-Tel cabinets locations needs be to identified.

Electrical contractors were unable to locate and place the conduits and cabinets from the design drawings.

The electrical contractor was able to identify the clashes and reposition the systems after consulting the engineering team. Without BIM it would have been trial and error process on the electrical side.

BIM Benefits

Having consistent , clash proof models through out the construction helps reduce the unexpected delays and which in turn reduces total expenditure on the project. Having the models allows each trade to check in with each other make sure they are well coordinated with others on the job.

BIM can help construction firms improve efficiency in projects and reduces the cost of waste during construction. Its benefits include speeding up job completion time, reducing the number of errors made, and saving costs by identifying areas to use prefabricated materials. By ensuring everyone has access to the same detailed models BIM cuts down on time spent request response loop between various trades there by saving time.

Having centralized BIM models improves the transparency and accountability by knowing each others work . BIM management software delivers the ability to provide notifications to team members of any changes, reducing the communication gaps.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) creates a data-rich d model structure, specifications, quantities, physical characteristics and material attributes of everything used in the construction. Virtual construction using BIM helps the firms in getting a realistic estimate and identifying material procurement and constructability issues.

Increased accessibility and visibility of the BIM sets in an accountability/traceability model for the project which results in effective change management and conflict resolution. The BIM models can record the changes are track revisions effectively than earlier 2D models and chnage management software .

BIM is effective even after the construction phase , it helps with facilities management as long as the project implementation team followed the procedures of change management and updated the model with every minute changes.
