MEP Drafting Services for Smooth Project Delivery

At CAD Drafters, we take on MEP Drafting services which are detailed focused and improve efficiencies for your building projects. We work in the following aspects of MEP Drafting; HVAC duct layouts, electrical riser layouts, plumbing shop drawings, and many more. Our trusted and qualified draftsman assist, general contractors, engineers, consultants, and fabricators with accurate coordinated and construction ready drawings. We can take on all projects large and small and successful projects no matter the type; high-rise residential, extensive commercial fit-out, and specialized facilities such as hospitals and labs (Featured MEP Drafting Project). Create accurate electrical systems using our Electrical Drafting expertise.

HVAC Duct & Pipe Drafting

Our team provides detailed layouts for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems which includes ducting and routing systems, pipe layouts, mechanical room layouts, and more. This will ensure that complete and ongoing airflow design, well thought out and logical routing so that on-site contractors have easy installation instructions with ease and zero conflicts.

Plumbing System Drafting

Our plumbing drafting services will cover domestic water supply, drainage systems, natural gas piping, sump pits, etc. We develop precise piping layouts, isometric drawings, sectional views, and penetration drawings that satisfy code and provide a smooth transition to installation.

Electrical System Drafting

We develop clear, concise electrical plans, riser diagrams, wiring diagrams, panel schedules, lighting layouts, cable tray install routes, and distribution drawings. All electrical drafts are produced in conjunction with the mechanical and plumbing trades to alleviate the risk of an expensive clash in the future.

MEP Shop Drawings

Shop drawings help fabricators and contractors fabricate off-site and install on-site precisely what the plan specified. These drawings will include measurements, materials, and installation information, and assist clients to reduce waste, control budgets, and meet tight timelines.

Coordination Drawings

We provide fully coordinated MEP drawing which presents mechanical, electrical & plumbing and fire protection trades, in one conflict-free plan. This allows for ducts, pipes conduits and equipment to be installed without interference.

As-built Drawings

We develop accurate as-built MEP drawings in which all on-site changes and mark-ups are reflected. These invaluable records to the asset manager will not only assist with future renovation works but also for on-going building maintenance.

Mechanical CAD Drafting

From layouts for fire protection to layouts for heating and cooling equipment installation, we provide all facets of mechanical CAD drafting. Our detailed mechanical drawings allow project stakeholders to visualize system performance and allow for integrations with other trades to proceed seamlessly.

MEP BIM Coordination & Clash Detection

In addition to providing 2D drafting, we utilise BIM software to perform clash detection using either Navisworks or Revit. The before and after sequencing of clash detection prevents conflicts between MEP systems and existing structural and architectural building components prior to the commencement of construction.

Fabrication Drawings

We provide clients with detailed fabrication drawings that will allow them to prefabricate ductwork, piping, and electrical assemblies off site. One of the primary benefits of utilizing fabrication drawings is it frees up time that would otherwise be unnecessarily spent installing equipment on site. Installing equipment earlier, off site, minimizes on-site labor and allows for more quality control.

Erection Layouts

We provide the contractor with detailed erection layouts to follow during installation. Erection layouts allow for a clear identification of where to install equipment, the routing path of the systems, and the mounting details to verify the installation matches design intent.

Quantity Take-offs & Material Lists

We provide our drafts in a format that produces precise quantity take-offs & quantities lists that are generated from the drawing. These take-offs provide accurate information needed for bids, thereby speeding up the procurement process, preparing materials sooner, and keeping projects on budget and on schedule.

Final Delivery & Support

After validation, we can deliver all BIM files and facilitate their integration into your construction process, facilities management, or future phases of new projects. Ongoing support may be available, depending on the project, as it progresses.
