Transforming MEP Design with BIM: A Detailed Exploration of Desapex’s Approach

Image
  In the modern construction industry,   Building Information Modeling (BIM)   has become indispensable for designing and managing complex projects, especially in Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems. At   Desapex , our adoption of   BIM for MEP design   has not only streamlined our processes but also enhanced the quality and efficiency of the systems we deliver. This Newsletter delves into the detailed steps we follow using Autodesk Revit and Solibri, highlighting how these tools facilitate superior MEP system design for commercial buildings, workplaces, and data centers. Introduction to BIM in MEP Design BIM represents a paradigm shift in how construction projects are designed, coordinated, and executed. In  MEP  design, BIM allows for the creation of highly detailed and integrated models that include all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and  fire protection  (MEPF) systems. These models serve as a comprehensive digital ...

Bringing an Old Glass Factory Back to Life: As-Built BIM with Laser Scanning

Image
Problem Statement from the client : The client, a multinational pharmaceutical company involved in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical substances, and intermediates, is planning to convert one of their oldest properties in Bengaluru, a non-operational glass  factory  for decades, into a convention center and other commercial blocks. However, the lack of accurate as-built information posed a significant obstacle to the client's design and execution planning. Without a comprehensive understanding of the existing  infrastructure , the client encountered unexpected design challenges, including structural limitations, hidden utility lines, and others. This resulted in numerous design modifications, reworks, and increased expenses. Additionally,  accurate   quantification  of the building's existing assets, such as steel structure quantity and mechanical and electrical equipment, was unavailable. This information is crucial for future procu...
