MEP engineers find this information beneficial, as the 3D modeling helps detect an unforseen collision between designs. Thus, allowing re-designing of plumbing, and electrical wiring, before building construction ever begins. No one wants the headache of reconfiguring in the middle of a building project. BIM is also a gateway for many disciplines to give their input on the building project, collectively. Compiling and computing all the information obtained, detects any lack of coordination. Making on the spot corrections to the designs, will allow shorter review times. This is a big step toward harmonizing between the building owner, and a variety of contracted services, such as:
- Surveyors
- Fabricators
- Designers
- Architects
- MEP Engineers
A BIM contains an enormous amount data for referencing, and cross referencing, throughout the building process. It will also reflect, how a last-minute change in design, will cause discord with other design elements. There are always those spur of the moment changes, that create a landslide of complications. BIM will be quick to identify if there is coordination, or not, between designs, saving time and money, by providing the ability to move forward with your building project.
Contact us at The Engineering Design, and let us get started on your BIM. Save time, from long drawn out contractual review meetings, and money, from conflicting designs, detected when using a BIM. You can count on The Engineering Design for all your architectural designs, drawings, and models!
Below are some of the most common MEP BIM services, which can be outsourced as needed.
Mechanical Drawings
It’s important to have comprehensive mechanical drawings and this will ensure that all engineers are on the same page. The drawings can include the various parts that will be needed as well as components that will be used by other MEP engineers. For example, it is a mechanical engineer’s job to design the elevator shaft, though the electrical engineer will need to have a hand in the process as well.
Electrical Outlines
Electrical outlines can detail all of the electrical components of a building. This will allow contractors to know where everything is going. It will also help all of the electricians to know what they need to install and where so that there are no issues with maintaining code guidelines.
Plumbing Diagrams
It is also critical to have plumbing diagrams as this will need to be signed off with by code enforcement. It will also ensure that everything is at the level where it needs to be.
