HVAC Shop Drawings
Our HVAC system shop drawings illustrate complete layouts of ductwork and equipment for your project. Importantly, these drawings ensure that cooling and heating airflow distribution is precise, that all element sizes are accurate, and that everything is labeled for quick installation. Each HVAC shop drawing contains specific dimensions, sections, and material requirements that will allow the contractor or installer to execute an excellent installation of the HVAC systems with maximum precision and efficiency.
Piping Layout and Fabrication Drawings
We provide accurate and detailed piping layout and fabrication drawings. Drawing detail includes accurate pipe routing, diameters, elevation, and fittings. Each piping drawing is coordinated with architectural and structural, to eliminate the potential for clashes and conflict. Each drawing will make the fabrication, installation, and inspection of plumbing and mechanical piping systems seamless.
The Equipment Layouts
The area layouts that we develop define the spacing, location, and orientation of the major mechanical equipment including boilers, pumps, chillers, and compressors. By defining the placement and connections for equipment, we assist engineers and contractors in maximizing the use of the area and can help analyze the relative safety, efficiency, and accessibility related to the mechanical rooms configuration.
Duct Shop and Field Assembly Drawings
We will produce full duct shop drawing packages that provide workshop production and installation in the field. Providing detailed shop drawings, section views, labels, tags, and insulation information coordinated within a package will reduce waste, enhance the accuracy of components being built, and provide a guide to install in the field without costly modifications.
Room Layouts

Isometric drawings provide a 3D perspective of elevated piping and/or ductwork systems depicted in a two-dimensional drawing; it shows elevations, routing and connections clearly for site teams, is invaluable for installation teams and the quality control function within a the project. Isometric drawing views also improve communication between design and field teams.
Coordination Drawings for the Integration of MEP
We create coordination drawings that combine the mechanical system with the electrical, plumbing, and structural layouts. By detecting clashes and optimizing layouts in the coordination drawings, we allow your team to avoid change orders in the field. You can be assured that all MEP systems will interact correctly within the building.
Prefab and Modular Assembly Drawings
Our prefab process and modular assembly drawings allow components to be built in controlled environments, enhancing accuracy, and saving labor time on-site. Detailed drawings for prefab and modular assembly considering construction approaches increases quality control of the system and minimizes labor time once the materials reach the job site.
As Builds Mechanical Documentation
We document as-built mechanical drawings, showing changes since the construction process. These updated records will provide accurate documentation for future building maintenance, renovations, and management, advocation the building owner/operator to have clear and reliable system information into the building lifecycle.
Mechanical Drawings Integrated into BIM
With building information modeling (BIM), our firm develops intelligent, detailed three-dimensional mechanical drawings that facilitate collaboration, visualization, and coordination across disciplines. Utilizing the process of BIM improves clash detection, accurate material take-offs, and allows implementation of the system to be viewed for functionality prior to installation.
Revit MEP Modeling & Coordination
Our specialists are experienced with Revit MEP and create highly detailed, parametric models to integrate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in a single digital environment. This allows design and construction documents to agree with one another while providing teams a way to make informed decisions, eliminate uncertainty, and coordinate the project at all stages.
