MEPF coordinationShop drawingsClash detection

Multiple building services disciplines needed to share tight physical space without conflicting, while still giving site teams installation information they could rely on.

The challenge

Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire services needed to be coordinated within limited ceiling and riser space.
Shop drawings needed to reflect real, buildable conditions, not just design intent.
Coordination issues needed to be caught before installation, while they were still cheap to resolve.

Our approach

Modelled MEPF systems in a coordinated BIM environment reflecting actual site constraints.
Ran clash detection across disciplines before issuing shop drawings.
Produced shop drawings and construction documentation from the coordinated model.
Worked with the project team to resolve conflicts as they were identified, not after install.
