ESD and BIM Engineering Software:
We are dedicated to learning and working with the latest and most advanced three-dimensional
Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. In addition to completing several Revit projects,
our team has committed over 800 hours to training so that our engineers and designers are
proficient in Revit MEP 2009 and 2010.
Revit is an intuitive engineering tool that allows for complete three-dimensional coordination of
all trades during the design phase. Building owners, architects and engineers all have access
to a rendered model to see the finished product before construction even begins. Revit does
much more than produce 3D drawings - it can incorporate heating and cooling load calculations
and verify duct pressure losses.
Design Phase Benefits:
• Interference detection between all trades, allowing for more accurate coordination.
• File sharing, allowing more detailed coordination between architect and engineer.
• Maximum use of available spaces above and below ceilings.
• 3D rendering of conceptual and finished design for better visualization of the space.
• Quick and easy production of building sections, 3D views, and elevations for all involved trades.
• Integrated heating and cooling load calculation, which detects changes in electrical and architectural design.
Construction Phase Benefits
• Minimizing coordination mistakes to reduce surprises in the field.
• Coordinated spaces, allowing better clearances for equipment maintenance.
• Installation per intended design.
• Quicker decision making to reduce construction and equipment delivery time.
• A more efficient project overall, saving time and cost, thus creating greater client satisfaction.
