1. Plumbing Model Development
We perform plumbing system model development at levels of development 100 through 500, within which we incorporate plumbing systems and their related component, including pumps, valves, tanks, and traps, all of which are modeled to scale with proper connections and routing.
2. Above Ceiling and Underground Building Coordinating
Our experience with above-ceiling and underground plumbing coordination enables us to proficiently integrate plumbing systems, including drains, water supply lines, vent stacks, and stormwater systems, with alignment to other disciplines.
3. Clash Detection & Resolution
Our professionals will perform numerous clash detection tests in Navisworks and Revit to identify hard and soft clashes between plumbing systems and other trades, preparing our team to resolve them before the construction phase.
4. Custom Plumbing Revit Families
CAD Drafters develops custom plumbing Revit families with extensive data parameters for scheduling, fabrication, and maintenance.
5. Coordination with Other Trades
We work closely with mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, and architectural trades to ensure that plumbing does not compromise structural beams, ductwork, electrical conduits, and other critical components.
6. Design Change and Adjustment
When clashes or site limitations arise, our team will work closely with your designers and contractors to update the plumbing model and implement approved design changes quickly.
7. Coordination Ownership
Our BIM coordinators are dedicated to your project from schematic design through to construction documents. They will attend onsite meetings, gatekeeper meetings, and/or virtual meetings for the purpose of coordinating and providing guidance on the plumbing design.
8. Detailed Clash Reports
We provide detailed clash reports that clearly explain areas of concern and indicate whether the issues have been resolved or are still pending. Your team needs to know where things stand.
9. Onsite & Remote Support
Whether you need to coordinate onsite or use virtual BIM collaborations, CAD Drafters will adapt to your project’s needs to keep the workflow smooth and responsive.
10. Pre-Construction Validation
Before you sign-off, we put the plumbing model through a preliminary QA process to ensure that all plumbing systems are clash-free, constructible, and code-compliant.
11. Fully Integrated Construction Model
Your final product will be a fully integrated plumbing model that is coordinated with the mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. A model that you can rely on for a coordinated build.
12. Improved Cost and schedule control
Our Plumbing Coordination Services will keep you on track with tight project schedules and help you minimize costly change orders that require rework or field adjustments. You will be able to confidently manage your construction budget too.

Streamlining Your Plumbing Systems with a Proven Coordination Process
At CAD Drafters, our Plumbing Coordination Process is designed to provide a high level of confidence that your plumbing design will be thoroughly planned, validated, and approved, thereby minimizing the risk of mishaps in the field. Our focus is on coordinating among various trades while employing advanced clash detection technology, precise 3D UniForm modelling, and ongoing collaboration before construction begins which helps to mitigate conflicts, change orders, and minimize the schedule and budget impact of plumbing installation.
Systematic Clash Detection and Resolution
Our coordination process starts by loading the plumbing BIM template in accordance to the project standards and verifying architectural coordinates for proper alignment. We model the complete plumbing assembly, including pumps, tanks, filtration equipment, sumps, and traps. After completing the plumbing model, we run clash detection in conjunction with the BIM trades using industry-leading software such as Navisworks. This way, soft and hard clashes with structural beams, HVAC ducts, electrical conduits.
Collaborative Meetings and Design Updates
Our CAD Drafters team implements approved design changes in all associated plumbing models simultaneously, allowing us to provide ongoing updates and new clash reports that keep all stakeholders fully informed. The end product is an integrated, complete, and constructible plumbing system that interacts appropriately with other trades, avoiding the potential for rework and wasted time in site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What plumbing BIM coordination means to you and why is it important?
Plumbing BIM coordination involves developing an intensely detailed 3D model variation of the plumbing systems within your building and assuring the model is fully integrated and clash free with all other building systems including specific elements of mechanical, electrical, structural, and architectural.
What plumbing components do you coordinate in your models?
We coordinate all major plumbing components across scenarios, including pumps, water storage tanks, pool filtration systems, sumps, sewage pits, grease and sand traps, piping networks and any individual components you may need to incorporate for your project.
Can you provide clash detection reports while coordinating the plumbing drawings?
Absolutely! During the plumbing coordination process, we conduct multiple clash detection tests using Navisworks and Revit to identify both hard and soft clashes between the plumbing system and all other associated disciplines.
