If you're an MEP contractor or consultant bidding on a project that requires BIM Level 2 delivery, you'll come across one document more than any other: the BIM Execution Plan, or BEP. It sets out how a project's information will be modelled, managed, and shared — get it wrong, or skip it, and the cost ...

Handing over a finished building used to mean boxes of paper drawings and a spreadsheet nobody fully trusted. Today's buildings are far more data-rich — but only if that data survives the journey from construction to operation. This is where BIM, and specifically COBie data, makes the difference for facility management teams. If you're not ...

Scan to BIM services convert laser-scanned or point cloud survey data into accurate 3D BIM models for refurbishment, design coordination, clash detection, as-built documentation, and facilities management. For architects, engineers, contractors and project managers, the real value is not just having a digital model. It is having a reliable representation of the existing building before ...

BIM clash detection can identify conflicts between architectural, structural and MEP models before construction begins. But a clash report alone does not resolve those issues. Each clash still needs to be reviewed, prioritised, assigned to the right team and checked again once changes have been made. This is where many projects run into difficulty. ...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital process in construction that creates and manages detailed 3D project models. More than a visual aid, BIM connects design, structural, and MEP data in a coordinated system, helping teams reduce risk, avoid costly errors, and deliver projects efficiently. For project managers, BIM is more than a design ...

MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing: three core engineering fields responsible for building systems that make structures functional, safe and comfortable. In construction, MEP systems manage essential infrastructure, including heating, ventilation, power distribution, water supply, and drainage. These systems ensure buildings operate efficiently and meet safety and energy standards. For project managers and developers, ...

If you’re delivering projects under ISO 19650, you’ve probably seen the discussion around its upcoming revision. The standard isn’t being replaced, but it is evolving. Clarifications, structural updates and better lifecycle alignment are all being discussed at the industry level. For clients, contractors and design teams, the question isn’t “What exactly will change?” — ...

If you’re searching for BIM modelling services, you’re probably trying to avoid the usual project pain: RFIs, rework, late design changes, and programme delays caused by poor coordination. This is a short, practical guide to properly scoping BIM modelling, so you get a model that’s useful, not just “3D”. To learn more about our ...

Fire sprinkler systems are a critical part of any building’s life-safety strategy, but they’re also one of the most challenging services to coordinate with MEP systems. Running through already congested ceiling voids, sprinkler pipework must coexist with ductwork, cable trays, lighting, and structural elements — often with very little tolerance for error. When fire sprinkler ...

In construction, the term "MEP" stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing services. These are the hidden systems that make buildings habitable and functional, including HVAC, power supply, water and wastewater management, fire protection, and other essential service systems. Because MEP services can account for 40-60% of a project’s cost, accurately coordinating them early is crucial. ...
