Building Information Modelling delivers high quality out performing designs in Electrical BIM services. We collectively work as a team and we believe in delivering end to end solutions in Electrical Designs and Drawings. Building Information Modelling delivers high end 2D designs and structural 2D drawings for Structural Building Information Modeling services. We at Building Information Modelling have the team of proficient architects and engineer who provides 2D designs and 2D drawings in structure as per our client’s requirements. We deliver out performing design and drafting services. We offer Lighting BIM services for all our pioneer clients that are natives of countries like USA, UK, Australia, Europe, Canada and India. Our services have spread its wings not only in these countries but many other countries. We have the team of designers, drafters, architects and engineers that have worked on many projects and add value to many building projects, government projects, industries projects and manufacturing projects.
MEP: MEP stands for the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing discipline of construction. The Mechanical part includes FireFighting system and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning). The Electrical part covers power supply and lighting system. The Plumbing part includes water supply and drainage management. BIM: BIM is the acronym for Building Information Modeling. It refers to a process of creating working models (3D, 4D or 5D) to design, construct and manage the building information.

4D Modeling 4D BIM Modeling is a segment of Building Information Modeling that focuses on scheduling. Here, the units of 3D CAD is attached to time or schedule-related information. The involvement of 4D BIM enables the participant in construction to contemplate the duration and progress of various event in the construction process. The 4D BIM approach improves the project management and the pace of delivery.
BIM Coordination What is BIM Coordination ? To ensure all the aspects of MEP works in coordination with each other, there arises a need of determining clashes between them. Hence, BIM Coordination comes into play. BIM Coordination refers to a process of comparing various models so as to find out any clashes or conflicts taking place among various MEP elements on the field. Role of Coordination Drawings In order to maintain coordination between different aspects of MEP, we require special diagrams known as coordination drawings. Coordination drawings are produced by contractors that can be reproduced as per requirements. These MEP Coordination Drawings showcase the installation of components, materials, and products within all the mechanical and electrical spaces.
Why BIM Coordination ? Benefits of using BIM Coordination for MEP are as follows: • Avoid field conflicts prior to installation process • Provide an early insight into the project through visualization • Accuracy in designing • Increase in productivity • Reduction in cost • Timely delivery of the project • Accurate decision making
How to Apply BIM Coordination in MEP Components The process of coordinating MEP components is a tough job and it requires a higher rate of accuracy and precision as even a slight mistake may result in a substantial loss. The process involves following steps: • Analysis Phase: In this phase, the architects and modelers undergo rigorous analysis of the MEP designs and drawings. They collectively come down to a decision on how BIM coordination models will be made. • Creation Phase: Here, coordination models are created using software like Revit and AutoCAD. This will ensure integration of all the MEP elements in the model. This means the mechanical, electrical and plumbing elements are working in synchronization with each other. • Detection Phase: This phase involves preparing coordination drawings so as to detect the interference amongst the MEP elements. These include 3D and 4D coordinated BIM models to detect the clashes and fix the errors. • Modification Phase: It involves the creation of as-built drawings. As Built Drawings provide information on site based changes and the modifications that are to be made in 3D models.
