Accurate, lightweight, and coordination‑ready mechanical models built for constructability, clarity, and field installation.
Ductwork Modeling
- Supply, return, exhaust, and outside air systems
- Correct sizes, elevations, and transitions
- Realistic routing based on architectural and structural constraints
- Proper system assignments for scheduling and filtering
- Optional 2D symbolic representation for plan clarity
Piping System Modeling
- Hydronic supply/return, condenser water, steam, domestic water, gas, and medical gas
- Accurate slopes, elevations, and fittings
- Correct pipe types, insulation, and system classifications
- Clean routing that minimizes fittings and field labor
Equipment Placement & Connections
- Place mechanical equipment per design intent or contractor layout
- Add accurate duct, pipe, and condensate connections
- Validate clearances and service access
- Adjust locations based on field conditions or coordination feedback
Routing Optimization
- Identify more efficient duct/pipe paths
- Reduce fittings, offsets, and unnecessary transitions
- Improve constructability and reduce field labor
- Provide alternatives when architectural or structural constraints tighten
Model Cleanup & Standardization
- Fix broken connectors
- Correct system assignments
- Remove unnecessary geometry
- Standardize parameters to match your template
- Improve model performance for large coordination files
LOD‑Appropriate Modeling
- LOD 300 for design intent
- LOD 350 for coordination
- LOD 400 for fabrication support (if needed)
- Link to LOD description
Integration With Coordination Workflow
- Align modeling with clash detection cycles
- Update routing based on weekly coordination meetings
- Provide clean, contractor‑friendly markup sets
- Maintain model accuracy as field conditions evolve
