Building-Systems Documentation Designed Around Coordination and Constructability

MEP services connect the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems required to make a building functional, safe, maintainable and suitable for its intended use.

Structural Drafting Group supports consultants, architects, contractors, construction managers, EPC firms and specialist MEP contractors with design assistance, calculations, CAD drafting, BIM modeling, shop drawings, fabrication information, coordination and as-built documentation.

MEP drafting, BIM and coordination must be distinguished from professional engineering approval. System sizing, loads, equipment selection, fire and life-safety design, electrical protection, pressure calculations, code interpretation, authority submissions, testing and commissioning should be completed or verified by the responsible qualified professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

MEP Design and BIM Services FAQs

Common questions about MEP scope, calculations, BIM models, shop drawings, coordination, quantities and professional responsibility.

What is included in MEP Design Services?
The scope may include mechanical and HVAC design support, electrical plans and diagrams, plumbing and drainage layouts, calculations support, CAD drafting, BIM modeling, shop drawings, clash detection, coordination, fabrication or spool drawings, quantity take-offs and as-built documentation.
What is the difference between MEP design and MEP drafting?
MEP design develops system requirements, loads, capacities, routing concepts, equipment and engineering intent. MEP drafting documents approved design information in plans, sections, schedules, schematics and details. Projects commonly require both activities.
Can a coordinated MEP BIM model be developed?
Yes. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing models can be developed to the agreed LOD and coordinated with architectural and structural models using approved coordinates and BIM requirements.
Can MEP shop and fabrication drawings be prepared?
Yes. Approved designs and coordinated models can be developed into installation, shop, spool or fabrication drawings. The responsible contractor, fabricator and engineer should verify constructability, equipment, materials and final release.
Does clash detection automatically solve every coordination issue?
No. Software can identify geometric conflicts, but resolution requires project decisions involving system performance, access, clearances, slopes, maintenance, architecture, structure and installation sequence.
Can quantity take-offs and BOQs be produced?
Yes. Quantities can be extracted from approved models and drawings for ducts, pipes, fittings, equipment, fixtures and devices. Accuracy depends on model completeness, classification, measurement rules and exclusions.
Which software and formats are supported?
Typical workflows use Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD and Navisworks, with outputs such as RVT, DWG, NWC/NWD, IFC and PDF. The required versions, templates and model-exchange standards should be agreed during setup.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Share the project type and size, disciplines required, design stage, architectural and structural backgrounds, MEP design information, BIM and LOD requirements, calculations scope, drawing list, software, file formats, approximate quantity and delivery schedule.
