Discipline-Specific MEPF Modeling
Developed LOD 300 models for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems in Revit.
Commercial Building
LOD 300 MEPF Modeling with Clash Detection & Coordination
LOD 300 mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection modeling with clash detection and coordination for a New York City school building.
Overview
Project Overview
This commercial school project required detailed LOD 300 MEPF modeling across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. Our team developed coordinated discipline models aligned with the client's standards and project requirements.
Clash detection and interdisciplinary coordination were performed to resolve conflicts before construction, ensuring a clash-free model ready for downstream use.

Client Challenges
Pain Points of the Client
Multi-discipline MEPF systems in a school building present coordination challenges that require structured BIM delivery.
01
Complex MEPF System Coordination
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems must fit within tight ceiling and shaft spaces typical of school buildings.
02
Inter-Discipline Clash Resolution
Overlapping routes and equipment placements require systematic clash detection before construction begins.
03
LOD 300 Detail Requirements
Models must reach LOD 300 with sufficient detail for coordination while maintaining accuracy across all disciplines.
04
Tight Project Schedules
School projects often face fixed occupancy deadlines, requiring efficient modeling and coordination workflows.
Our Approach
How We Solved It
Structured MEPF modeling, clash detection, and coordination aligned to LOD 300 standards.
Federated Model Coordination
Linked discipline models for comprehensive clash detection across all building systems.
Clash Detection and Resolution
Ran Navisworks clash tests, documented conflicts, and coordinated resolutions with the project team.
Quality-Assured Deliverables
Validated models against client standards before final delivery of coordinated MEPF outputs.
Execution Strategy
A Structured MEPF Workflow - Phase by Phase
Delivery progressed from scope alignment through discipline modeling, clash detection, and final coordination.
