MEP Services

MEP: Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing forms the circulatory system of any building. When these systems aren’t coordinated well, it leads to clashes on site, delayed installations, rework, and cost overruns.

At BIM Arcavion, our MEP BIM services are designed to remove uncertainty from MEP coordination and execution. We focus on creating accurate, well-coordinated models that support design clarity, facilitate clash-free installation, and help teams deliver projects smoothly and confidently.

Our approach blends technical precision with construction awareness which means the models and information we deliver are not only technically correct but practically usable on site.

MEP Modelling

We provide detailed BIM modelling for all MEP disciplines using industry-standard platforms like Autodesk Revit.

Our MEP models are:

  • Developed to agreed Levels of Detail (LOD) and Information (LOI).
  • Structured for coordination with architectural and structural models.
  • Suitable for clash detection, shop drawings, and construction support.

Whether it’s HVAC distribution, electrical systems, fire protection, plumbing, or specialty services, we build models that reflect design intent and suit the needs of contractors and site teams.

HVAC Modelling & Support

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems must be accurately represented to avoid clashes and ensure proper installation.

Our HVAC support includes:

  • 3D modelling of ductwork and air handling systems.
  • Zoning and system layouts.
  • Clear representation of components (fans, coils, diffusers).
  • Coordination with structure and architecture.

By producing coordinated HVAC models, we help reduce rework, improve performance planning, and align installation teams with a reliable digital representation.

Clash Detection & Multidisciplinary Coordination

The core benefit of MEP BIM is coordination. We bring together architectural, structural, and MEP models into a federated environment to identify and resolve clashes before they reach the site.

Our coordination process includes:

  • Federated model setup.
  • Clash detection using tools like Navisworks Manage.
  • Prioritised clash reports.
  • Collaborative coordination reviews.

This proactive approach helps teams reduce rework, maintain schedules, and improve constructability.

MEP Shop Drawings & Installation Support

We produce MEP shop drawings that support fabrication and on-site installation. These outputs are derived directly from coordinated BIM models to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Deliverables include:

  • Fabrication drawings.
  • Installation layouts.
  • Isometric detail views.
  • Tagging and annotations for site use.

These drawings help installation teams work with clarity and reduce dependency on manual drafting.

Electrical BIM Modelling

Electrical systems can be among the most complex to coordinate due to routing, equipment layout, and interface with other trades.

We support:

  • Cable and conduit routing.
  • Lighting, power, and distribution modelling.
  • Transformers, panels, and switchgear layout.
  • Load-based coordination views.

Our electrical models help clients visualise system organisation and reduce conflicts that typically emerge during installation.

Plumbing & Firefighting Services Modelling

Clean water, drainage, and firefighting systems require careful modelling to avoid clashes and support installation sequencing.

Our services include:

  • Potable cold and hot water systems.
  • Waste and soil systems.
  • Fire sprinkler and hydrant layouts.
  • Coordination with structure, ceilings, and other services.

By incorporating practical clearance rules and installation constraints, we deliver plumbing and firefighting models that minimise site delays.

4D / 5D Integration for MEP

MEP systems are extensive and often affect programme and cost. We integrate MEP BIM with:

  • 4D BIM for installation sequencing and site planning.
  • 5D BIM for quantity extraction and cost analysis.

This helps teams visualise installation order, plan logistics, and understand cost impacts of design changes.

MEP Model Audits & Quality Control

Before a model is issued for coordination or construction use, it’s vital to ensure it’s reliable.
We conduct:
  • Model structure audits.
  • Compliance checks against standards.
  • Naming convention and parameter verification.
  • Interference review readiness.

This quality control step reduces risk and improves confidence in downstream use.

As-Built MEP Models & Handover Support

Once systems are installed and commissioned, we update the models to reflect actual conditions on site.

Our as-built services include:

  • Records of installed conditions.
  • Asset data population ready for Facilities Management.
  • COBie support where required.
  • Handover documentation aligned with client standards.

Accurate as-built models help clients manage operations, maintenance, and future upgrades with confidence.

Technical Standards & Platforms We Use

We align our MEP BIM services with recognized delivery standards and practical execution tools, including: BIM Standards & Processes
  • ISO 19650 information management.
  • BIM Execution Plans (BEP).
  • Level of Detail (LOD) / Level of Information (LOI).
  • Autodesk Revit – MEP authoring & modelling
  • Navisworks Manage – Model federation and clash detection
  • Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) – CDE, issue tracking, collaboration
  • Excel / custom schedules- extraction and reporting
These tools and standards help us deliver coordinated, controlled, and client-ready information.

Why Choose Our MEP BIM Services

Clients trust BIM Arcavion for MEP BIM because we:

  • Focus on practical delivery, not just models.
  • Understand both engineering and installation constraints.
  • Produce information tailored for on-site use.
  • Integrate BIM with cost and programme thinking.
  • Align with UK and India project standards.

Whether you’re a design consultant, contractor, developer, or engineer, our MEP BIM services help you reduce risk, make better decisions, and build with confidence.

Our Approach

Our MEP BIM approach is built on collaboration, clarity, and quality. We start by understanding project needs and expected outcomes, and then we tailor modelling, coordination, and delivery workflows to suit those needs.

We believe BIM should support construction, not complicate it and every output we deliver is developed with that mindset.
