Overview
Contractor-Grade Mechanical BIM Services Built for Speed and Accuracy
Mechanical system conflicts can appear on site even when 2D drawings look accurate. Virtual Building Studio delivers Mechanical BIM Services across the USA, UK, Australia, GCC, EU, and South Asia.
Our BIM specialists create 3D models from LOD 100 to LOD 500 along with clash coordinated layouts, material takeoffs, shop drawings and prefabrication spools. Our mechanical BIM models are prepared as per IMC, UMC, IECC, IRC, ASHRAE, SMACNA and local codes.
What you get
What You Get with Our Mechanical BIM Services
When you choose VBS as your Mechanical BIM Services Company you get coordinated mechanical models and drawings that support installation, fabrication and project coordination.
Coordinated BIM Deliverables
Receive mechanical models coordinated with architectural, structural, electrical and plumbing systems. This helps your team find conflicts before installation.
Installation Drawings
Get plans, sections, elevations and detail views showing mechanical system layouts and installation requirements for field teams.
Fabrication Details
Receive piping and spool drawings with pipe lengths, fittings, connections, weld locations and material information for fabrication.
Quantity Information
Use the completed model to extract quantities for ducts, pipes, fittings, equipment and other modeled mechanical components.
Revit Project Data
Receive Revit models and families with the parameters and information required for schedules, coordination, and project documentation.
Standards-Based Deliverables
Get mechanical BIM deliverables prepared around applicable project requirements, including IMC, UMC, ASHRAE, SMACNA, and local building codes.
Our Comprehensive
Complete Range of Mechanical BIM Modeling Services
Our Mechanical BIM support starts with design development and continue through coordination, construction documentation, fabrication and as-built delivery following your project requirements, standards and LOD.
HVAC System Modeling
Our HVAC models cover supply, return, and exhaust ductwork, along with dampers and air handling units. We verify for duct sizes, insulation and connection points during modeling.
Mechanical Equipment Modeling
Our expert BIM engineers leverage project data and manufacturer information to model chillers, boilers, cooling towers, pumps and all other mechanical equipment. Models include equipment clearances and space needed for maintenance.
Piping System Modeling
Our piping models cover hydronic, chilled water, condenser water and refrigerant systems. As required we add valves, fittings, hangers, slopes and connection details to support installation.
Plant Room Modeling
We create models equipment in plant rooms along with headers, piping and access areas. This gives project teams better understanding of available space and possible coordination issues.
Mechanical Shop Drawings
We generate shop drawings from coordinated mechanical models. The drawings give dimensions, elevations, sections, connections and all other information that is needed before the construction process.
Mechanical Spool Drawings
Our mechanical engineers develop spool drawings for mechanical piping fabrication. Each spool gives the measurements of the pipes, fittings, weld locations, connections, and other information about the materials used.
Parametric Revit Family Creation
We create custom Revit families for mechanical equipment and components. Families include project specific dimensions, parameters and data required for schedules.

Coordinate the Model
The mechanical model is cross checked against all other trades: architectural, structural, electrical and plumbing elements. We identify and resolve conflicts before the model moves to documentation.

Outsourcing Guide
When You Need to Collaborate with Mechanical BIM Services
Consult mechanical BIM support when your team requires assistance with challenging projects, short timelines or a heavy modeling workload.
Short Project Deadlines
When deadlines are pressing, the extra BIM support is essential as it allows the team to finish models and drawings without stopping to perform other tasks.
Complicated Mechanical Design
Complicated projects with crowded layouts of HVAC, piping, and equipment require substantial spatial planning. A thorough BIM model soon is going to help you examine these conditions before installation.
Coordination Problems
Mechanical systems can conflict with structural, architectural, electrical or plumbing elements. BIM coordination helps find these issues while changes are still possible.
Fabrication Requirements
Fabrication teams need accurate dimensions, connections, pipe lengths and fitting details. Mechanical BIM deliverables provide this information for shop and spool preparation.
Heavy Project Workloads
When several projects run at the same time, your in-house team may not have enough capacity for every modeling and documentation task.
Frequent Design Changes
Late design updates can affect models and drawings across. BIM support helps your team keep these BIM deliverables updated whenever requirements change.
