MEP Coordination for the Residential Buildings: Challenges and Solutions

Minimizing onsite rework and completing a project within time and budget can be achieved with enhanced BIM coordination. MEP coordination reinforced with BIM assists multiple stakeholders to stay on the same page and work more efficiently. Working on the latest model, simplifying workflows, centralizing documentation, correcting constructability issues, etc. can save both money and time. This presentation serves as a guide for contractors and construction companies to adopt BIM for the design and coordination of MEP systems.

  1. MEP Coordination for Residential Buildings Challenges and Solutions

  2. Residential buildings need MEP systems and equipment to function at optimum performance for residential occupants’ comfort.

  3. General Contractors MEP coordination for residential units is crucial for: MEP Contractors Construction Companies Fabricators

  4. Challenges faced during design, fabrication and installation of MEP systems Spatial Planning Groundwork Construction Safety Operations

  5. Optimum installation and functioning of MEP systems in residential buildings requires: Inter-disciplinary coordinated MEP models Precise documentation and Model-based shop drawings Database for future operations and maintenance Visualization of spatially coordinated MEP systems Accurate cost estimates

  6. Solutions to Overcome MEP Coordination Challenges 4

  7. Absence of accurate load calculations or unused space Adding buffer load of 10% to 20% to cover minor alterations Placement of large MEP equipment to avoid soft clashes Space allocation for MEP equipment The Challenge The Solution • Coordinated BIM MEP 3D models drive higher visualization to calculate exact load • Accurate and information-packed architectural 3D models help MEP teams create an efficient layout to fabricate and install MEP equipment • Soft clashes can be minimized with proactive clash resolution in the early design stage

  8. Inaccurate routing of MEP equipment or systems Absence of spatially coordinated MEP designs Flawed or inefficient documentation Precise MEP Spatial Coordination The Challenge The Solution • Coordinated MEP BIM models facilitate higher collaboration • 3D BIM models help multiple teams visualize design intent and constructability based on 3D walkthroughs • Updates and modifications reflected in real-time keeps the documentation process updated and sorted • Streamlined project documentation reduces project turnaround time and builds greater consistency

  9. Uncoordinated and clash-ridden drawings diminish required fabrication and installation quality Neglecting MEP equipment interferences early in the design phase leads to rework, project delays, and cost overruns Clash-free LAYOUT and INSTALLATION The Challenge The Solution • MEP coordination resolves clashes in the pre-construction stage leading to reduced rework and delays • Enhanced coordination between HVAC, electrical and plumbing equipment improves project constructability • Accurate MEP layouts are site-ready and facilitate better equipment routing leading to hassle-free installation

  10. Lack of visualization of MEP equipment and elements for fabrication and installation Higher complexities with CAD-based drawings Model visualization and representation The Challenge The Solution • Visualization of multiple MEP systems and equipment with coordinated BIM-models lead to a well-distributed layout • Model-extracted shop and schematic drawings drive accurate and quality fabrication backed by higher construction clarity

  11. Coordinated MEP 3D model at LOD 400 saves cost and time An architectural engineering firm saves cost and time by ensuring hassle-free installation of MEP components for a residential building in the US, with MEP coordinated drawings. Learn how

  12. Make your MEP project clash-free and achieve exceptional cost savings. www.hitechcaddservices.com info@hitechcaddservices.com
