BIM MEP Services

With advanced metal fabrication design and specialized engineering expertise, IndiaCADworks (ICW) provides BIM Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP or M&E) services across the world, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe, that reconcile and optimize building systems. This BIM MEP services forms part of ICW’s vast portfolio of BIM services, including general BIM modeling, coordination, clash detection, quantity take-off, 4D simulation, 5D modeling, lean construction, point cloud, and scan-to-BIM. With preconstruction and end-to-end project management experience, ICW’s BIM experts assist architects, consultants, and real estate companies from concept design to the completion of the projects.

The core BIM MEP services provided by IndiaCADworks during a project lifecycle primarily include MEP Modeling and MEP Drafting of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) items. With ISO compliant processes and strict adherence to turnaround time, ICW ensures quality deliverables each time with every project at a competitive market pricing.

IndiaCADworks’ BIM MEP Services

ICW offers a comprehensive set of ancillary services adhering to ISO, ANSI, BS 8888, and CSA standards, such as MEP Model Visualization, MEP object library creation, MEP Project Report Preparation, and MEP Project Information Extraction as part of the BIM MEP services. The core services are outlined below:

MEP BIM 3D Modeling

• 3D MEP BIM HVAC: With 3D MEP BIM HVAC service, ICW provides accurate 3D digital MEP models that reveal HVAC installation design throughout a project lifecycle according to specific levels of detail and development.
• 4D MEP BIM HVAC: Our 3D MEP BIM HVAC service provides 4D MEP BIM model with all the details of the HVAC installation in the project giving an accurate picture of each stage of the project lifecycle.

MEP Drafting

• MEP Section Views: ICW’s MEP section view service provides the detailed views of a 3D digital MEP BIM model as section callouts instead of the model section views.
• MEP Clash Detection: MEP clash detection service from ICW is most useful during the design and preconstruction phases to find ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ clash issues that lead to potential risks, cost overrun, and productivity losses.
• MEP Construction Documents: The MEP construction document project drawings management and storage service are applicable throughout a project lifecycle and aims at avoiding the increase of overhead cost.
• MEP Schedules and Bills of Quantities: The MEP Schedules and Bills of Quantities service provide accurate and up-to-date preconstruction and construction MEP specification and cost information.
• MEP Energy Simulation: The MEP Energy Simulation Service enables site-wide MEP parameters or individual MEP building components assessment and energy modeling provide iterative, parametric analysis to deliver optimal design solutions to help minimize energy consumption.

The process for BIM MEP services delivery at IndiaCADworks is outlined in the following steps:

The process for BIM MEP service delivery at IndiaCADworks is outlined in the following steps:

• Expectation sheet: Completing an expectation sheet allows us to understand the precise BIM MEP needs of the client. During this phase, our BIM specialists set milestones, finalize the delivery timelines, and provide a free quotation for the BIM MEP services.
• Weekly review: A BIM MEP project coordinator is then allocated to the client’s project and conducts weekly review meetings and maintains a tracker of each communication and update.
• Additional phases: We plan and execute the required processes for additional phases that occur for MEP clash detection or risk mitigation, information extraction or object library creation, etc.
• Delivery: Finally, we ensure the delivery of high-quality customized documents and information as per the defined delivery milestones.

MEP BIM Services Navigating Through Various Levels of Development

Accurate Levels of Development (LOD) are critical for the successful execution of BIM in MEP services. Each LOD stage corresponds to a specific phase of the MEP design and construction lifecycle, ensuring precision and clarity throughout the process. Here's how LOD aligns with MEP projects:

• Brief Design Preparation (LOD 1): Initial MEP planning with a conceptual approach to system layouts.
• Concept Design (LOD 2 / LOD 100): Preliminary designs for MEP systems, focusing on basic geometric representation and system coordination.
• Developed Design (LOD 3 / LOD 200): Detailed MEP layouts with approximate system dimensions, routing, and spatial requirements.
• Technical Design (LOD 4 / LOD 300): Precise modeling of MEP components, including dimensions, specifications, and integration with architectural and structural models.
• Construction Documentation (LOD 5 / LOD 400): Highly detailed MEP models with fabrication and assembly-level information, ready for installation.
• Handover and Closeout (As-Built Model) (LOD 6 / LOD 500): Fully developed MEP models reflecting installed systems, ensuring an accurate representation for facility management.
• In-Use Phase (Asset Information Model - AIM) (LOD 7): Comprehensive MEP models optimized for operational maintenance and lifecycle management.

By leveraging these LOD stages, BIM MEP services deliver precise, collaborative, and efficient solutions tailored to every project phase, from concept to operation.
