BIM MEP Modeling

MEP That Fits — First Time

Uncoordinated MEP models cost projects more than any other single cause of on-site rework. I model MEP systems as installable systems — with proper elbow radii, valve stations, isolation clearances, and access zones — not just line diagrams pushed into 3D.

Every element uses a manufacturer-agnostic or manufacturer-specific family (your choice), correctly categorised so downstream Navisworks clash tests catch conflicts before they hit site.

What You Get

• HVAC model — Ductwork, VAV/CAV boxes, diffusers, AHUs, chilled water, condensate.
• Electrical model — Cable trays, containment, luminaires, distribution boards, sockets, small power.
• Hydraulic model — Cold & hot water, sanitary drainage, storm water, gas.
• Fire protection — Sprinkler heads, mains, valve rooms, hose reels.
• Equipment schedules — AHU, FCU, pump, distribution board schedules with rating data.
• Coordination-ready IFC — IFC 4 export for Navisworks federated model.

How I Work

1. 1

   MEP brief review

   Review MEP scope, spec, load schedules, single line diagrams.

2. 2

   System setup

   Systems, zones, and connections defined in Revit MEP with correct classifications.

3. 3

   Route modelling

   Ductwork & pipework routed with real fittings, elbows and reducers.

4. 4

   Component placement

   Terminals, equipment, valves placed with correct clearances.

5. 5

   Coordination

   Navisworks clash test with structure/arch model + resolution.

When You Need This Service

• MEP consultant has produced 2D drawings but you need a coordinated 3D BIM model.
• Federated model needed for clash detection across all disciplines.
• Fabrication-quality ductwork model for procurement / shop drawings.
• Design-and-build project needing a single coordinated MEP model from day one.
• BIM Level 2 requirement on public/government work.

Software & Standards

Compatible with all major MEP consultant deliverables. IFC 4 export supports open-BIM handover to Navisworks or Solibri.
