A Deep Dive into the MEP BIM Workflow

Introduction
Understanding the MEP BIM Services workflow is crucial to maximizing its value. Each stage—from concept to as-built model—is designed to eliminate inefficiencies and improve construction performance.
The MEP BIM Workflow Explained
-
Conceptual Design
Early layout planning, space allocation, and preliminary clash detection. -
Detailed Design & Modeling
Development of full 3D MEP models with required LOD (300–500). -
Clash Detection & Coordination
Using tools like Navisworks to detect conflicts between systems. -
Construction Documentation
Generating shop drawings, spool drawings, and BOQs directly from the model. -
As-Built and Facility Management
Delivering a digital twin to the client for lifecycle operations.
Tools Used in MEP BIM Services
-
Autodesk Revit
-
Navisworks Manage
