HOW CAN BIM MODELING IMPROVE THE PROCESS OF MEP
INSTALLATIONS?

• Learn about the benefits of designing your
  mechanical, electrical and hydraulic
  installations using Revit and the BIM
  methodology.

• MEP (Mechanical, Electric and Plumbing)
  installations have a very important impact on a
  project, since they largely determine the
  habitability and operating conditions of
  buildings. However, during the development of a
  project, designers and builders often find
  inconsistencies in facility designs that
  significantly impact both time and budget.

• The technology-based BIM methodology proposes a
  solution to this problem. BIM generates a virtual
  environment in which the construction process is
  simulated, allowing the correct coordination of
  the different designs to be foreseen and reducing
  the negative impacts on the development of the
  project. This way you avoid
• The lack of coordination between the different
  disciplines in the design of a project.
• The outdated planimetric information between the
  technical projects given the versions handled by
  the different professionals.
• Incomplete information when specifying a
  comprehensive project design.
• In our experience, there is a fundamental
  challenge when working on the design of MEP
  installations the management of levels and
  reference planes for the development of each
  technical design. However, through the Revit BIM
  modeling this can be managed in a comprehensive
  and collaborative manner, achieving a positive
  impact on the overall design.

Optimizing MEP installations with Revit
5

• The design and optimization work of MEP
  installation designs in the construction field
  can be implemented in BIM to generate the
  necessary information to fully validate the
  project. BIM software tools such as Revit
  facilitate the technical coordination of the
  project in its technical details and MEP
  facilities, with the benefit of positively
  impacting the management and administration of
  the work. In the following video we show an
  example to better illustrate this process.
• Revit includes a series of specific
  functionalities to optimize design processes and
  analysis of mechanical, electrical and hydraulic
  installations, facilitating collaboration and
  coordination in real time between project
  participants. In this way, the tool speeds up the
  engineering design process, dumping all the
  information into a single model that even allows
  simulations to be carried out to analyze the
  performance of the facilities.

• Around the world, the BIM implementation has
  ample opportunity in a large number of companies,
  which results in the improvement of management
  and administration indicators of architecture and
  engineering projects. However, it is important to
  begin to conceive the projects in an integral way
  so that the architectural, engineering and
  technical designs are articulated for the benefit
  of the efficiency and performance of the sector.
• MEPs are an essential part of the architectural
  and engineering design of a project, they are not
  just systems that accompany these developments
  therefore, its design must be contemplated from
  the beginning, seeking organic integration and
  its consequent optimization. Only in this way can
  the full potential of the BIM methodology be
  deployed and generate benefits that have a
  positive impact on project costs and times.
