MEP Coordination Services
Streamline Your Construction with our Expert MEP BIM Coordination Services
In today's architectural building projects, seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in construction documents is crucial for contractors at the construction stage. That's why our services offer a comprehensive solution for seamless coordination of building systems in Navisworks, architectural, and accurate documentation done in Revit.
Our experienced team leverages cutting-edge Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology for architectural clashes, collaboration, coordination, and clash detection in the construction project.
Our BIM Coordination Services
Clash Detection Services and Resolution
Identifying clashes and conflicts between MEP systems and other building components through the coordination process to prevent construction delays and rework.
3D Modeling
Creating detailed architectural 3D models of MEP systems for collaboration and coordination services to visualize and optimize their layout within the building structure, and resolve MEP clash issues.
Coordination Meetings
Facilitating coordination meetings among project stakeholders to discuss design issues, resolve conflicts, and ensure alignment. We provide MEP BIM services to identify and resolve critical design gaps to guarantee effective coordination at any design phase and provide clash reports for improved project execution.
Space Coordination
Optimizing the routing of MEP systems through available spaces to maximize efficiency and minimize conflicts. We help you coordinate multiple MEP disciplines within BIM software for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems within the MEP BIM models for high usability and accuracy.
System Integration
Ensuring seamless integration of MEP systems with architectural and structural elements, building services, and coordination services to achieve optimal performance. This step is very important for BIM clash detection and coordination with structural specialists, MEP engineers, an architect, and the coordination team to track all the design changes and deliver clash free model with all the systems included.
Constructability Reviews
Conducting constructability reviews to identify potential installation challenges and develop solutions. Our goal is to provide you with coordination drawings, functional shop drawings, and a detailed 3D BIM model. This thorough process leads to a high level of constructability and eliminates costly mistakes.
Building Information Modeling Implementation
Leveraging BIM technology to enhance collaboration, coordination, and communication among project teams. We utilize software like Autodesk Revit, leading software in the AEC industry, and our team's technical expertise to develop models for various purposes.
Documentation Management
Managing MEP documentation, including drawings, specifications, and schedules, to ensure accuracy and compliance with project requirements. Complex Revit MEP models allow us to get involved in all stages of building design, re-design, and improvement, streamlining the documentation management.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Implementing QA/QC processes to verify the accuracy and completeness of MEP coordination deliverables. BIM clash detection services lead to improved communication among MEP contractors and quality assurance.
As-Built Documentation
Updating MEP models with as-built information to accurately reflect the final construction conditions. It's not an exception when the design stage drawings differ from the actual conditions due to the changes during the coordination phase.
Benefits of BIM Coordination Services
Early Conflict Detection: Integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within a centralized BIM model allows for early detection of conflicts and clashes, minimizing costly rework during construction.
Improved Collaboration: Enhanced communication and alignment among project stakeholders are facilitated through BIM coordination.
Visual Clarity: Detailed 3D visualizations of MEP systems aid in understanding spatial relationships and identifying potential design conflicts, leading to more informed decision-making.
Cost Savings: Reduced construction rework, change orders, and project delays result in significant cost savings, contributing to project profitability.
System Performance: Proper integration and optimization of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems ensure enhanced performance and reliability.
Enhanced Construction Efficiency: Accurate and coordinated installation drawings provided to contractors minimize errors and accelerate construction timelines, improving overall project efficiency.
Our MEP Coordination Process
BIM Execution Plan
Define BIM workflow and determine the goals of coordination. Create a step-by-step roadmap and develop a project strategy. Outline the standards and responsibilities of each trade and generate a schedule of milestones.
Load BIM Template
We initiate the process by loading the MEP BIM template, which is tailored to adhere to the client's standards across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sanitary, and fire protection trades. This template serves as a structured framework, ensuring consistency and precision throughout the coordination process.
Verifying the Architectural Model
Before establishing the connection between the Architectural model and the MEP models, we conduct a coordination check. We aim to ensure precise alignment and seamless integration between the architectural and MEP elements, providing services tailored to your needs.
Preparing the MEP Model
This model is prepared for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines. Relevant coordination elements are included in the central file. Comprehensive representation and accurate coordination are ensured.
Clash Detection Test
We utilize Navisworks to coordinate the MEP models, facilitating the identification of clashes and conflicts among the coordinated elements. Clash detection generates a detailed report highlighting model conflicts.
Resolving Clashes
Discipline-specific models undergo scrutiny for conflicting elements. Once clashes are identified, we move forward with reviewing and resolving them in the most efficient way.

Our Clients
What our customers say
“We've enjoyed working with Alterpex. They are always quick to respond to questions and additional requests. I would highly recommend them.”
“Very quick, thorough, honest and knowledgeable folks. Figuring out what services I would need was easy thanks to the informative menu items on the site. I’m a homeowner so my awareness level of what I need is close to zero. Learned a lot in the process and was able to hand off the files to my designer.”
FAQs
-
The projects are developed in Revit and coordinated in Navisworks to allow multiple participants to review the model simultaneously.
-
Tailored to your needs and project goals, we can provide 2D plans and 3D models. Our initial work is done in Revit 3D, which allows us to develop as many 2D plans as needed, based on the accurately designed and coordinated MEP model.
-
Clash-free Revit model, shop and installation drawings, pre-fab drawings, and compatible CAD files depending on your needs and requirements.
-
Most of the coordination meetings happen online, which allows multiple participants to be evenly involved in BIM MEP coordination, focusing on common resolutions. On-site coordination meetings might also be necessary depending on the project specifics. We attend all coordination meetings representing our client's best interests.
