One cannot expect their building projects to be successful without taking care of MEP coordination, top providers of 3D BIM Modeling services like The AEC Associates ensure faultless MEP coordination for the flawless building process.
An experienced 3D BIM Modeling service provider follows all relevant standards and local codes to validate the design for constructability review, performance and maintenance at the pre-construction stage itself.

Accurate MEP BIM coordination is vital for resolving clashes through re-routing and resizing ducts, and modifying elevations. The objective is always to make the final MEP model free of clashes and design errors so you do not face any awkward situations during the construction phase.
MEP BIM Coordination
3D BIM Modeling service providers follow a strict quality control process for documenting client standards and preferences to facilitate proper MEP coordination and accurate shop drawing generation. This helps you greatly reduce errors and rework. A team of BIM experts helps you produce comprehensive shop drawings for installation and spool drawings for pre-fabrication for a smooth workflow.
Main deliverables from 3D BIM Modeling service provider in MEP:
An informative 3D model is created with mechanical, electrical and plumbing components of the building to ensure performance during any stage of the structure lifecycle. These models include mechanical (HVAC), electrical, plumbing and firefighting services to clearly define specific areas and zones in a building. They minimize project delays, reduce wastage and ensure cost saving during the construction stage. Following is a brief discussion on the main deliverables in MEP offered by BIM service providers.
- 3D modeling with constructability review
Specifications in the engineering drawings are consulted to prepare a 3D HVAC model using a range of inputs like design and contract documents. This model is coordinated with architectural, structural and MEP services and augmented with hangers, seismic restrainers and other important information. Smooth MEP coordination helps you decrease field installation time, cost and wastage.
- Design validation: Mechanical and plumbing
The mechanical design validation assumes great significance for ensuring the comfort of the users, it includes:
- Heat load calculation
- Static pressure calculation
- Routing of HVAC ducts
- Selection of equipment
- Design of water systems
- Pump head calculation
Similarly, plumbing design validation is equally important, it includes:
- Pump head calculation
- Overhead storage tank calculation
- Pipe routing and sizing
- Drainage system layout
- Water demand pattern calculation
- Schedule of fixtures
- MEP BIM coordination for clash detection
3D BIM Modeling Services team displays all necessary information for detecting and resolving interference amongst building components and systems.
The accurate coordination drawings help resolve issues during the pre-construction stage itself, saving precious time and construction cost.
You can extract precise drawings from these enriched models which enable you to acquire work details of various services and detect clashes with structure, ceilings and frames, partitions and equipment, and other MEP services.
- Shop drawings
BIM providers make your job easier and more efficient by producing comprehensive MEP shop drawings with elevations, dimensions and details.
Accurate shop drawings and installation drawings provided by the 3D BIM Modeling service provider facilitate precise fabrication and on-site installation. These include:
- Installation drawings
- HVAC, Piping and fire protection drawings
- MEP plans in coordination with architectural and structural drawings
- Mechanical members location
- Block-out drawings
- Sleeve, insert and hanger drawings
- Spool drawings
- Bills of quantity and materials
MEP BIM models provide accurate material quantities that keep updating automatically with alterations. Comprehensive material measurement and construction projects are created about ducts, fittings, hangers, and so on.
You also receive quantity take-offs for detailed analysis. BOQ services can be used for cost estimation, material procurement and help save inventory costs.
Detailed MEP layout provided by experienced 3D BIM Modeling service providers helps you execute your building projects efficiently within the allotted budget and timeline. These BIM experts specializing in various architectural and engineering disciplines ensure successful building workflow for the entire lifecycle of the structure.
