MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as industrial and c

Take a look at the top software solutions which are used for developing 2D drawings and 3D models

Over the years the building process has improved drastically, because design and construction professionals have started to utilize computer applications for carrying out design documentation for building projects. Across the world there are numerous companies which work round the clock for developing high quality computer applications which can be used by design and construction professionals for developing high quality design for buildings.  High performing buildings can only be developed by architects and engineers if they have high quality design for all the individual building disciplines which include architecture, structure and MEP.   The most important thing which is necessary for the development of high quality design is the availability of top-tier software solutions such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit (Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP), and Navisworks etc.  Most of these software solutions which I have just mentioned are developed by an Am

Structural drawings: What is the role of Revit structure and Tekla Structure in their development?

Among all kinds of construction drawings it is really difficult to develop structural drawings as they are of highly complex nature. For developing strong and durable structural framework, the first step is to develop high quality structural drawings which can effectively describe structural design.  For the comprehensive understanding of structural design numerous kinds of technical drawings which may include detailed sketches, plans and working drawings etc have to be developed by drafters and detailers on the instructions of structural engineers.   In this blog I would like to focus on the development of Steel fabrication drawings and erection drawings which are created by steel detailers when they execute Structural Steel Detailing Services with the support of Revit structure or Tekla Structure.    Both Revit structure and Tekla structure are most widely used software packages which are utilized by steel detailers for the development of detailed fabrication
