  1. Autodesk MEP Solutions Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Design for Buildings AMS | CAD Consulting Grouphttp://www.amsystems.com Autodesk MEP Solutions

  2. Consider this… • Buildings areincreasingly more complex • Higher qualityproduct demanded • Clients expecttighter schedulesandlower costs • Result for MEP engineering firms • Increased competition & lower margins Autodesk MEP Solutions

  3. Business environment is changing • Increase in design-build • Sustainable design –challenging conventional building practices • New creative business processes • Risk transfer from owner to AEC partner Autodesk MEP Solutions

  4. Your Business Issues? • High risk and liability due to errors and omissions in construction document set • Lost profits resulting from extensive rework and revisions • Poor drawingaccuracyand unreliable project information • Design workflow inaccurate and uncoordinated. Autodesk MEP Solutions

  5. Introducing…Autodesk Building Systems Better Faster AutoCAD for MEP • Improve productivity, accuracy & coordination • Increase efficiency by reducing tedious drafting. • Streamline the design process reducing errors. • Coordinate effectively with the extended design team. Autodesk MEP Solutions

  6. Keep costs down “…helped us lift the information off the page and give it to the contractors in a form that they could understand - and price -properly” ”The clarity of the final product blew the client away. …really helped the owner and building operator visualize exactly what we were doing.” Doug Reinbold PrincipalReinbold Engineering Group Autodesk MEP Solutions

  7. Value to stakeholders… • Senior Management Owners, principals, and business development • Engineering Management Engineering design and construction management • Design Management Project engineers and managers • Design Development CAD/IT Manager, CAD Design team Autodesk MEP Solutions

  8. Senior ManagementOwners, principals, and business development Improved Business Performance • Improved profitability • Reduced risk • New services opportunities Autodesk MEP Solutions

  9. Design Build Schematic Engineering ManagementEngineering design and construction management Improved Operations Performance • Streamline design process • Avoid costly delays • Share, track, and review Autodesk MEP Solutions

  10. Design ManagementProject engineers and managers Improved Coordination and Accuracy • Intuitive project development • Fully coordinated drawings • Speed through design with confidence Autodesk MEP Solutions

  11. Design DevelopmentCAD/IT Management, CAD Design Team Improved Layout and Drawing Management • Share engineering design data • Make fewer errors • Collaborate effectively Autodesk MEP Solutions

  12. IntroducingAutodesk Building Systems 2007A Better Faster AutoCAD for Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing engineering for buildings Autodesk MEP Solutions

  13. A Better Faster AutoCAD forMEP Engineering HVAC Piping Electrical Plumbing • Productivity: Increase efficiency by reducing tedious drafting tasks. • Accuracy: Streamline the design process by reducing errors. • Coordination: Design and coordinate more effectively with the extended design team. AutoCAD-based A&E workflow Autodesk MEP Solutions

  14. Ask yourself… • Do you create building mechanical, electrical, or plumbing (MEP) engineering construction documents? • Are you currently working with AutoCAD to produce your drawings? Autodesk MEP Solutions

  15.

  17. ProductivityImproved Productivity and Performance Construction Documents • Automated sections and elevations • Reduce tedious drafting tasks Autodesk MEP Solutions

  18. ProductivityProduction Ready Drawings Faster Construction Annotation • Automated labeling tools streamline annotation process • Update automatically when design changes are made • Reduce drafting ensure accuracy of construction documents Autodesk MEP Solutions

  19. ProductivityAccelerate Documentation Process Schedules • Creating schedules is an automated process • Changes are updated in the schedules automatically • Save time, reduce manual rework Autodesk MEP Solutions

  20. AccuracyStreamline the Design Process Design Development • Increase the efficiency of design development • Move from design to documentation faster Autodesk MEP Solutions

  21. AccuracyKeep Up With Changes Fast Ease of Modification • Change is automated with drag and drop functionality • Make change once, software does the rest • Ensures changes are reflected throughout design Autodesk MEP Solutions

  22. AccuracyTransition Between Design Phases Ease of Layout • Work in 2D view with discipline-specific AutoCAD tools • Use layout tools and automate traditional drafting methods • Single-line and double line productivity Autodesk MEP Solutions

  23. CoordinationDesign and Coordinate More Effectively Minimize Communication Errors • Minimize documentation coordination errors • Within MEP team and with architects and structural engineers Autodesk MEP Solutions

  24. CoordinationMechanical, Electrical, Plumbing Disciplines Interference Detection • Coordinate between M, E & P disciplines • Automated process with built-in interference detection • Avoid time-consuming rework late in the project Autodesk MEP Solutions

  25. CoordinationWith Extended Design Team Design and Documentation Coordination • Architects and structural engineers • Use AutoCAD-based plans • Make faster design decisions and avoid costly changes Autodesk MEP Solutions

  26. Drafting Productivity ”Where we would have needed a day or two to make some design changes using our old drafting system – using Autodesk Building Systems, we made those changes in 15 minutes” Chris Shoemaker, Electrical EngineerLizardos Engineering Associates Autodesk MEP Solutions
