Construction projects that limit the number of in-field conflicts are projects that are completed on time and within budget. The effect of structural or equipment clashes with installed building elements such as the mechanical HVAC ductwork systems, the electrical panels and conduit routing, and the plumbing pipes for building supply water and drainage – can quickly eat up profit gains and put your project behind schedule.
The benefit of using an outsourced MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) coordination service is the competitive advantage your project gains over the competition. Not only do you gain access to experienced drafters that are dedicated to delivering top-quality 2D and 3D coordination drawings – you also receive the MEP documentation faster than in-house personnel that may be distracted with other project duties.
Partner with an engineering services firm that uses a blend of strategies and technical expertise which take full advantage of the power of CAD technology (computer-aided drafting) to deliver quality MEP coordination drawings. When CAD software is properly used, the implementation of clash detection routines can be virtually automated. This way, your project is subject to less human error – and relies instead on the power of the CAD software to determine the following:
- when two entities occupy the same X,Y, and Z coordinate space
- when equipment violates a safe clearance standard for “clear space” mounting
- when an installation interference may occur (not enough room to install)
- when dedicated space reserved for one discipline has been violated
At INDBIM, we work directly with your engineering department to apply the appropriate level of accuracy for MEP coordination drawings. Our CAD technicians are highly skilled in not only the expert use of CAD technology, they are also trained architectural and engineering drafters that are familiar with all phases of structural and systems installations. You can expect a team of creative technicians that will consistently deliver high-quality solutions to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations.
