Why HVAC Contractors Choose Advantage Engineering Technologies
U.S.-Based, PE-Led HVAC BIM Team
All HVAC BIM modeling, coordination, and shop drawing work is performed in the United States by a licensed Professional Engineer (NY, NJ, ME).
No offshore outsourcing. No communication delays. No quality surprises.
Built for Mechanical Contractors and Sheet Metal Fabricators
We understand the real‑world constraints that HVAC contractors face:

HVAC BIM Modeling Services
Our HVAC BIM modeling services go far beyond generic duct layouts. We deliver high‑accuracy, fabrication‑ready HVAC models that reflect real‑world constraints, manufacturer data, and field installation requirements.
Ductwork BIM Modeling (LOD 300–500)
We model complete duct systems with:
- Rectangular, round, and oval duct
- Fittings, transitions, and offsets
- Turning vanes, dampers, and access doors
- Duct insulation and lining
- Pressure class segmentation
- SMACNA compliant fabrication standards
- Hanger and support layouts
- Fire/smoke damper integration
Every duct run is modeled for constructability, airflow performance, and field installation.
VAV Systems & Terminal Units
We model:
- VAV boxes with manufacturer accurate dimensions
- Reheat coils
- Access clearances
- Control boxes
- Service space requirements
- Downstream diffuser layouts
We ensure VAV placement respects:
- Ceiling plenum constraints
- Lighting and sprinkler conflicts
- Access panel requirements
- Maintenance clearances
Air Handling Units (AHUs) & Roof Top Units (RTUs)
We model AHUs and RTUs with:
- Manufacturer accurate geometry
- Supply, return, OA, RA, and condensate connections
- Equipment pads and housekeeping slabs
- Service clearances
- Access zones for routine maintenance
- Mechanical shafts and chases
- Fire & smoke dampers (FSDs)
- Roof penetration coordination
- Curb details (if provided)
Mechanical Room BIM Modeling
We create fully coordinated mechanical rooms including:
- AHUs
- Pumps
- Heat exchangers
- VFDs
- Control panels
- Duct mains and branches
- Piping connections
- Valves and strainers
- Access and maintenance clearances
Mechanical rooms are modeled for constructability, serviceability, and coordination.
Airflow & System Logic Integration
We incorporate:
- Airflow balancing
- Static pressure zones
- Duct sizing logic
- Terminal unit performance
- Return air pathways
- Exhaust and relief air routing
This ensures your HVAC BIM model supports commissioning, TAB, and system performance.
HVAC Coordination Services
We provide full HVAC BIM coordination services for ductwork, mechanical piping, and associated equipment.
Deliverables Include:
- Coordinated 3D HVAC models
- Clash detection and resolution
- Navisworks coordination files
- Weekly coordination meeting support
- Updated models after each clash meeting
- Final coordination sign off package
We coordinate HVAC systems against:
- Structural beams
- Architectural ceilings
- Lighting layouts
- Sprinkler mains
- Plumbing systems
- Electrical conduits
- Fire protection systems
Our goal is simple: zero field conflicts.
