MEP Revit Modeling

We Develop Detailed & Accurate Revit MEPFS Models as per Design and Fabrication Needs

We create mechanical, electrical, and plumbing Revit models as per the design intent and as required for each design phase – schematic design, design document, and construction document.

We can also create custom Revit mechanical/electrical/plumbing families which are parametric and can have required LOD. We embed various levels of detailing into an MEP model (from LOD 100 to LOD 500), depending upon the stage of building design, from initial MEP design (schematic design) to design development to construction documents to fabrication to the construction stage.

We add industry standards formulas into MEP Revit family parameters and connector parameters to do tedious calculations more accurately than manual computational. We add connector parameters into all MEP components to behave with intelligence and for multi-discipline coordination. We also consider: Where does the information come from? Where it’s going? What it will do when it gets there? How it can be used?

We aim to deliver a highly accurate and detailed 3D MEP model to MEP contractors, MEP consultants, construction firms, design-build firms, and MEP component manufacturers to maximize efficiency in design optimization, detailing, quantity takeoff, fabrication, and installation of MEP building systems.

Services

Competency in MEPFS (Mechanical-Electrical-Plumbing-Fire-Sprinkler) design software such as Revit, Navisworks, and FABmep allows us to offer quality BIM MEPFS services. We can integrate our services with the customer’s design process & workflow to deliver complete and coordinated MEPFS BIM models. As part of the services, we provide comprehensive analysis and reports to help customers further refine their design and the design process.

1. 3D Modeling & Rendering for MEP Layout

2. MEP shop drawings, fabrication, and spool drawings

3. Quantity take-off and BOMs

4. Scheduling (4D) & cost estimation (5D)

5. MEP content creation for MEP components

Mechanical Systems

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

Electrical Systems

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.

Plumbing Systems

Model plumbing systems by placing plumbing components and assigning them to a supply or return system. Leverage layout tools to determine the best routing for the plumbing that connects the system components.

Fabrication & Shop-Drawings

Develop LOD 400 content within Revit MEP models for the fabrication and installation process.

4D + 5D BIM

Provide a data-rich MEP 3D model for scheduling, cost estimation, quantity-takeoff, and BOM.

MEP Content Creation

Create parametric modeling as well as a library of MEP components – Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing.

Process

1. LOAD MEP BIM TEMPLATE

Load MEP BIM template based on the client’s standards for each of the listed trades: mechanical, electrical, plumbing & sanitary, and fire protection.

2. VERIFY THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL

Verify/Check the coordinate of the Architectural model with MEP models by using the “Origin to Origin” positioning approach before linking them.

3. PREPARE THE MEP MODEL

Prepare the MEP model for each of the disciplines – Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing, and include all elements for coordination within the central file.

4. RUN THE CLASH DETECTION

In Navisworks any two models are coordinated together and by clicking on “Run Test”, it shows the “Clash Report ” occurred between the coordinated model.

5. REVIEW & RESOLVE CLASHES

After resolving clashes, we reload the cache in the Navisworks make sure resolved clashes are in yellow, and check if any new clashes will show up in red.
