Precision with Mechanical BIM Services
At CAD Drafters, we assist contractors, consultants and fabricators turn the intricate mechanical and HVAC designs into fully coordinated, clash-free 3D BIM models. Our services represent the entire mechanical design and construction lifecycle from initial schematic layouts to final fabrication drawings and detailed take-offs; offering you peace of mind, confidence, and maximum efficiency and accuracy on your next build.
Mechanical BIM Modeling Services
We create highly detailed 3D mechanical BIM models that include every component and system in your project. Our mechanical BIM models allow for visual representation, multi-discipline coordination and seamless workflows from design to fabrication.
Mechanical and HVAC Component Drafting
Our team creates deliverables for every mechanical and HVAC component in either 2D or 3D. Every pipe, duct and piece of equipment is drawn and documented in exact detail needed for fabrication and installation.
Mechanical System Modeling
We build coordinated mechanical system models, including ductwork, piping, and equipment layouts. We take a coordinated approach, which helps detect any clashes early and ensures that the design, engineering, and construction teams work within agreed parameters.
Mechanical/HVAC Component Revit Family
Our team builds available, custom parametric Revit families that create mechanical and HVAC components, which include accurate geometry and connectors. This flexibility speeds up updates and ensures that manufacturers and contractors have precise information for system coordination.
Mechanical/HVAC Equipment Schedules
We develop mechanical equipment schedules that provide complete information on all mechanical equipment on an HVAC system, which offers precise data for procurement, installation, and maintenance. The schedules assist everyone in having a standard reference and help with contract adherence.
Mechanical System Clash Detection
Our team uses Navisworks and Revit to perform clash detection and make changes to mechanical system designs when they conflict with all other disciplines and systems being coordinated. We establish the clashes beforehand to limit changes to the system designs when they are needed the least.
Mechanical System Coordination
We provide a coordination strategy to align the mechanical model with the architectural and structural model, ensuring that all systems fit nicely into the design of the building. This can limit what rework or issues will cause additional time and cost in getting approvals streamlined.
Mechanical Shop Drawings
We provide mechanical shop and field drawings that will give sufficient dimension detail, equipment specification, and installation requirements. Our drawing files support fabricators and contractors on their move from the model to the site by leaving very few unanswered questions.
HVAC Duct Shop Drawings
Our team prepares ductwork shop drawings of the HVAC system that delineate the layout, size, and fabrication information necessary to follow industry standards for installation.
Mechanical Fabrication Drawings
We prepare very detailed mechanical fabrication drawings for designs that need to be transformed into data for manufacturing, to assist your team in delivering good-quality assembly to their clients.
HVAC Duct Shop Drawings
Our team prepares ductwork shop drawings of the HVAC system that delineate the layout, size, and fabrication information necessary to follow industry standards for installation.
Quantity Take-off and Material Take-off (BOQ & BOM)
We can assist in providing actual costs for mechanical systems with a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and Bill of Materials (BOM) for better procurement planning and resource assignment.

Mechanical Coordination Process
At CAD Drafters, we offer a Mechanical Coordination Process to help avoid design conflicts, increase collaboration between disciplines and to provide you with mechanical and HVAC systems to utilize the architectural and structures. We use BIM software and technology to track, resolve and mitigate the impact of clashes in the design, creating a constructible model to minimize on-site disruptions as much as possible.
Step-by-Step Clash Detection & Resolution
Our coordination process begins with establishing clear architectural and structural relations, and loading in client-specific mechanical templates. The next stage is to perform a comprehensive collision detection using Navisworks, where we will establish and document the areas of conflict between systems. Each collision resolution is then reviewed, edit, and verified to confirm that your Revit model is fully coordinated and included all systems.
Smart Integration with Project Teams
Through out the resolution process, our BIM specialists will work directly with your architectural team, structural engineers and MEP designers to easily share updates, track progress across disciplines, and develop a coordinated model that allows for smooth installations, quicker approvals and to provide peace of mind during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What level of detail (LOD) do you provide for mechanical BIM models?
We develop both mechanical and HVAC models with LODs from 100 to 500 for schematic, design development, construction documents, or fabrication/install models based on the specific needs of the project.
Are you able to develop Revit families, specifically for mechanical and HVAC components?
Yes — we develop accurate, parametric Revit families for mechanical equipment, duct, and any custom component that meets your design standards and integrates smoothly with the rest of your BIM model.
Do you do clash detection/coordinated clashes with other disciplines?
Absolutely. We carry out clash detection and multi-discipline coordination using tools such as Navisworks, and let you know early to manage site installation better.
