MEP Drafting

MEP (M&E) drafting encompasses CAD drawings for MEP design and MEP coordination workflows and covers all MEP services and elements, including risers, plant rooms and floor layouts for underfloor, mid-level and within the ceiling void areas. Effective and accurate MEP drawings are used for design progression, MEP installation,  building records and maintenance.

Designs and marked-up images received as input are converted to MEP CAD drawings for consulting mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, consultants and contractors.

Design Stages We Cover

MEP BIM models are created by M&E/MEP designers and contractors throughout the MEP design process and supply chain.  They are created to generate drawings for different stages of the various design stages,  including

• Concept
• Tender
• Contract
• Coordination
• Approval
• Construction
• As-fitted (record or as built) stages.

We also provide MEP drafting services for MEP CAD conversion where MEP drawings may not exist in digital format.

Software We Use

We use AutoCAD and Revit to create MEP drawings and use the latest technology to communicate and share files using web-based online collaboration systems, such as BIM 360 Design (formerly known as C4R) and sophisticated, web-based mark-up tools.
