MEP Coordination Service is the Prerequisites for Error-Free Design

The processes which are undertaken for building construction are innumerable. From a concept to real building, it takes lots of efforts and lots of time. It requires constant observation to construct sustainable building that last since ages.

There are certain services which cannot be ignored while building construction and MEP coordination services are one of those services which must be outsourced while building construction. The motive to outsource MEP services is that in-house MEP design development proves very expensive. Apart from that, the expert professionals are needed to produce design and models which are hard to get on board even after investing huge fund.

The professionals who participate in MEP BIM Services design development procedure are MEP engineers, drafters and modelers. The inception of procedure took place with the study of the building structure and study is conducted by MEP engineers. They get the idea regarding the necessary aspects and by keeping those aspects in mind they create a rough design. This rough design becomes the reference material for design professionals. MEP engineers pass on the specifications and details to those drafters and modelers and they produce the design and models as per the specifications.

In the beginning, the systems of mechanical, electrical and plumbing disciplines are developed separately since all of those systems are immensely complicated. Once individual designs are created, they get synchronized all those systems which is known as coordination process and it reflects the clashing points amongst the systems.

Clash detection process is performed to eradicate those clashing points. Coordinated drawings are extracted from final models which are reviewed and modified until and unless the drawings become completely error free.

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc...

Tackle positioning issues favorably by sharing coordinates!

Tackling file positioning issues rationally and conveniently remains major problem for Revit users when they link additional file in their model or project. Multiple discrepancies are confronted by Revit users in terms of geometrical positioning of linked files comparative to host model. For example if an MEP engineer working on his model in Revit MEP wants to acquire a thorough understanding of  structural model developed in Revit structure by structural engineer he has to link the model. So when MEP engineer links a structural model in his MEP model, Revit spontaneously displays and alert informing users that linked model does not acquire the same coordinate system as host model. And since they do not share the same coordinate systems, Revit will automatically return back to center-to-center positioning. The alert confronted by users must be cancelled by them at this point of time because positioning associated issues can only be tackled once the file is imported in the mod...

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 in...
