Coordinated MEP model
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire systems modeled in native Revit MEP categories with correct system types.
MEP Discipline
MEP scan to BIM that shows exactly what runs above your ceiling
Ceiling voids are where projects go wrong. We model every duct, pipe, tray and hanger as it actually runs, so your new services fit the first time instead of on the third attempt.

Overview
The most expensive part of a retrofit is the space nobody measured
Legacy MEP drawings show design intent from twenty years ago. Since then, systems were extended, rerouted and patched. The only reliable record is a scan of what is up there right now.
We model services with real diameters, real routes and real clearances, including the hangers and supports that quietly steal the space your new plant needs. MEP models built this way are ready to run straight through clash detection against structure and architecture.
- Ducts, pipes and trays with true size and route
- Hangers, supports and brackets included at LOD 350
- Plant equipment modeled with access and clearance zones
- System naming and colour coding to your standard

Why choose us
The ceiling void detail most vendors leave out
Missing hangers and clearance data is how a clean looking MEP model still fails on site.
01
Hangers included at LOD 350
Supports modeled, not just the pipe or duct
Hangers and brackets sit exactly where your new services need to fit. Skipping them is how a clash report misses the real problem.
02
Real clearance data
Plant rooms modeled with maintenance access zones
Equipment removal routes and service clearances are checked against the model, not assumed from a layout drawing.
03
System types mapped correctly
Clash rules work without manual regrouping
Ducts, pipes and trays are set up with the correct Revit system types from the start, so Navisworks tests run cleanly.
04
Occupied building experience
Surveyed around live schedules as standard
Hospitals, hotels and operating facilities are normal projects for us, not an exception that slows the programme down.
What you get
What the MEP package delivers
Everything needed to plan a services replacement without a site shutdown.
Plant room models
Boilers, chillers, AHUs, pumps, tanks and switchgear modeled with maintenance clearance zones marked.
Clearance study
Available void space mapped floor by floor so you know what will and will not fit before design starts.
Service route drawings
Layout drawings per system, generated from the model, ready to issue to your installation team.
Equipment schedule
Every item of plant listed with size, location, service and access notes for the operations team.
Clash report
A Navisworks clash test against the structure and architecture with a prioritised action list.
Scope of work
What we model in the MEP disciplines
Pick the systems that matter to your project and leave the rest out of the price.
Included in every project
- Supply, return and extract ductwork with fittings
- Chilled water, heating and condenser pipework
- Domestic water, drainage and vent stacks
- Sprinkler mains, branches and head positions
- Cable trays, ladders, baskets and conduit
- Electrical panels, busbar and containment
- Air handling units, fan coils and diffusers
- Pumps, tanks, boilers, chillers and heat exchangers
- Hangers, supports, brackets and seismic restraint
- Access panels, valves and isolation points
| Scope item | What we deliver | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| LOD 300 | Systems routed with correct size and position | Space planning and feasibility |
| LOD 350 | Supports, hangers and interfaces added | Clash detection and coordination |
| LOD 400 | Fittings, valves and fabrication detail | Prefabrication and spool drawings |
| Plant rooms | Equipment with clearance and access zones | Replacement and maintenance planning |
If your project involves replacing plant in an occupied building, ask for the clearance study first. Knowing the tightest point on the removal route often changes which unit you buy.
How it works
How an MEP model is built
Modeled by discipline specialists, then coordinated as one federated set.
System scoping
We agree which systems are in scope, what level of detail each needs, and how they should be named and colour coded.
Main routes first
Primary risers, mains and distribution runs are modeled to establish the spatial framework.
Branch and terminal
Branch runs, terminals, diffusers, sprinkler heads and outlets are added against the cloud.
Supports and plant
Hangers, brackets and plant equipment go in with clearance zones where LOD 350 or higher applies.
Coordinate and check
The MEP model is federated with structure and architecture, clash tested and reviewed before release.
Why clients pick us for this
Real clearances
Supports and hangers modeled, not ignored.
Clash ready
Federates cleanly with structure and architecture.
Live building safe
Experienced with occupied and operational sites.
Case study
Replacing a plant room without closing a single ward
Healthcare · Manchester
The challenge
A hospital trust needed to replace an aging plant room and reroute several service risers, but the only way to plan the work safely was to know exactly what was running through the ceiling voids above three live wards.
What we did
We modeled ducts, pipes, cable trays and supports above the wards from scan data captured during scheduled ceiling access, then ran a clash test against the proposed new routing so the installation team knew every conflict before mobilising.
The result
Zero ward closures
Survey and modeling completed entirely around the live clinical schedule
3 riser clashes found
Resolved on paper before installation began
7 weeks delivery
From first scan to a coordinated, clash checked MEP model
"The model saved us a shutdown. Three clashes in the riser would have cost us a weekend of rework. They found all of them first."

Questions
MEP Scan to BIM questions we hear most
Straight answers so you can scope your project with confidence.
Only where the scanner could see them. We plan the survey with your facility team so tiles are lifted in agreed locations. Anything not scanned is marked as unverified rather than guessed.
At LOD 350 and above, yes. They matter more than most people expect because they take up the exact space where new services usually want to run.
We model both the pipe and the insulation outline where it is visible, since the outer dimension is what governs clearance on site.
Yes. Systems are set up with the correct Revit system types and naming so Navisworks clash rules work without manual regrouping.
Yes. At LOD 400 we include fittings, valves and connection detail suitable for spool drawings and off site fabrication.
