MEP As-Builts

Enable Effective Collaboration Among Multiple Engineering Services With Our MEP As-Builts

No Drawings? No Problem.

MEP As-Builts drawings are among the most important resources in analyzing building performance issues or identifying ways to improve upon them. MEP stands for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. MEP drawings aid component vendors, equipment manufacturers, and suppliers in understanding the mechanical intricacies of a building under construction. Without these crucial mappings, obtaining an in-depth understanding of a building’s systems is time-consuming and costly work. Many buildings don’t have up-to-date drawings or any drawings at all. We provide as-built updated renderings to project owners and facility managers post-construction based on site mark-ups received as inputs.

 

We also work with engineering teams to prepare MEP design development drawings during the design phase in new construction. We provide HVAC CAD drafting services for HVAC contractors, which include coordinated duct and shop drawings. We also provide plumbing drafting and electrical drafting services. These precise fabrication drawings save time and reduce wastage.

We use cutting edge modeling technology.

Our As-Built MEP modeling services use state-of-the-art laser scanners to import and create high-quality field surveys for projects. High resolution and information-rich 3D CAD models are generated using these scans along with detailed point clouds.  Apart from 2D drafting using AutoCAD MEP, we are also experienced in clash coordination with the help of BIM software tools.

 

BDS is equipped to handle projects of any size and complexity. Our experience covers an array of projects such as highrise residential towers, large shopping complexes, schools, hospitals, laboratories, and power plants.

Upon completion, you will receive traditional full-size prints, electronic PDFs, and the native CAD drawing files you need to keep your drawings updated in the future.

◊ Conversion of Point Cloud information to CAD models

◊ Comprehensive CAD cleanups for MEP companies and engineers

◊ Creation of MEP As-Built 3D Revit Models from 2D drawings

2D/3D Building As-Builts

As-builts are sets of detailed drawings that reflect modifications made during the construction process of buildings that deviates from the original design. They document what the existing conditions are and can be produced as a 2D drawing set or a 3D model showing size, shape, and location. 

 

The final sets of as-built drawings can be useful for design, construction, renovation, asset management, and building records as they hold important information, such as:

◊ Design changes

◊ Field changes

◊ Any modification to the final project

 

If you have 3D models of your site, then you can create site safety procedures as well as maintenance zoning requirements.

Clash Detection Services
In Building Information Modeling (BIM), clash detection is the technique of identifying if, where, or how two parts of the building (e.g., plumbing and walls) interfere with one another. It is used in pre-construction and design phases in the field to prevent construction issues from happening in the first place and is executed through a highly sophisticated and computerized analysis of multiple 3D models

BIM for Fabrication
BIM stands for Building Information Modeling, which is a process for creating and managing information on a construction project throughout its entire life cycle using a combination of information-rich 3D models and associated structured data such as product, execution, and handover information. BIM-based practices promote the integration of design, manufacturing, and construction processes. This enables higher transparency, better collaboration, and interoperability among stakeholders in the digital fabrication process.

Drone Site Mapping
Drone mapping is an aerial survey conducted by a drone and specialist cameras, which can include RGB (for photogrammetry), multispectral, thermal or LiDAR sensors. This combination of drones and high-resolution cameras enables the collection of highly-accurate data that can help to build high-resolution, centimeter-accurate 3D and 2D maps and models extremely quickly.

Building Energy Analysis
Running a building energy analysis allows you to measure a building’s energy performance by calculating how well the integration of that building’s form, systems, and envelope performs under the surrounding environmental conditions. Performing this analysis on a building design through all phases helps to ensure that you are constantly working towards the most energy-efficient building possible. Energy simulation can help analyze the movement of energy in, out, and through the rooms and volumes in a building model. This information can help designers make better informed, cost-effective decisions that improve the performance and reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
