MEP Coordination Drawings

MEP coordination drawings are clash‑resolved, installation‑ready drawings that align mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems within the architectural and structural constraints of a project. They show final routing, elevations, clearances, and installation details after all trades have coordinated in 3D.

Coordination drawings eliminate field conflicts, reduce rework, and ensure every trade installs their systems exactly as agreed during BIM coordination. They also provide inspectors and owners with clear documentation of the final coordinated design.

BIM modeling creates the 3D geometry.
Coordination drawings document the final, approved, clash‑free routing that all trades agree to install. They include dimensions, elevations, offsets, clearances, and installation notes that aren’t typically included in raw BIM models.

Yes. We actively participate in weekly or bi‑weekly coordination meetings, provide clash reports, propose resolutions, and update the model after each meeting until all trades reach sign‑off.
Our Licensed P.E. also runs the coordination meetings if included in our scope up front. On some projects, the G.C. will delegate this responsibility to the mechanical contractor, so we pick up that responsibility for our clients so they can focus on their core business.

Typical deliverables include:

• Final coordinated routing for all MEP systems
• Dimensions, elevations, and offsets
• Hanger and support locations
• Sleeve and penetration drawings
• Equipment clearances and access zones
• Trade‑by‑trade color coding
• Installation sequencing notes (if required)

Yes. We run clash detection in Navisworks and resolve conflicts directly with each trade. Our goal is to deliver a fully coordinated model that installs cleanly in the field.

Many contractors hire us specifically for mechanical and plumbing coordination.  However, we can coordinate all MEP/FP systems, which include electrical, sprinkler, process piping, medical gas or any other specialty piping systems.  So although ductwork, plumbing and mechanical piping are our most frequent systems, we can coordinate any combination of trades based on your scope.

Yes. Once all trades agree on the final routing, we produce a complete set of signed‑off coordination drawings that reflect the approved model. These drawings are used for installation, inspection, and closeout documentation.

Yes. Hanger layouts, support details, and sleeve/penetration drawings are standard add‑ons to our coordination packages. These help installers plan ahead and avoid field delays.

We can work from:

• Design drawings
• Redlines and markups
• Existing BIM models
• Point cloud scans
• As‑built documentation

If no BIM model exists, we can build one from scratch.

We typically provide:

• PDF coordination drawings
• RVT (Revit) models
• NWC/NWD Navisworks files
• DWG exports (if needed)
• Sleeve and hanger spreadsheets

Timelines depend on project size and the number of trades involved. Most small to mid‑size projects take 2–4 weeks. Larger projects may require phased coordination aligned with the GC’s schedule.

Yes. We coordinate all MEP systems within the actual structural framing, slab elevations, beam depths, architectural soffits, ceiling heights, and equipment rooms to ensure everything fits before installation begins.

Yes. We support mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection contractors nationwide, delivering fast, accurate, and constructible coordination drawings on contractor timelines.
