MEPF Modeling

All four MEPF trades modeled for the crew installing them, not just for the reviewer approving the sheet. Ductwork, chilled water piping, and plant room equipment; lighting, power, cable tray, conduit, and panels; supply, drainage, sanitary, and storm systems with slopes and inverts; sprinkler, hydrant, and fire-fighting piping with pumps and tanks. Carried to LOD 400, clash-resolved against each other and against structure, with each trade's shop drawings coming off the same coordinated model.

Scope

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection - each with full shop drawing production.

How This Scope Runs

Process

  1. 01

    Design intent review

    MEPF drawings, equipment and panel schedules, fixture data, reflected ceiling plans, and the fabrication standard reviewed together.

  2. 02

    Modeling

    Duct, pipe, tray, conduit, drainage, and fire protection modeled to LOD 400 with supports, slopes, inverts, and access clearances.

  3. 03

    Coordination

    Clash resolution between the four trades and against structure and architecture, checked in section as well as in plan.

  4. 04

    Shop drawings

    Layouts, isometrics, tray and duct drawings, pump and plant room drawings, sections, and installation details issued from the coordinated model.

Who It's For
  • MEP engineering firms needing fabrication-ready modeling across all four trades
  • Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection subcontractors needing shop drawings
  • General contractors coordinating a congested ceiling void
FAQ

Common questions

Yes. The model carries to LOD 400 and the duct, pipe, tray, and sprinkler shop drawings, equipment layouts, and installation details come off it directly.

STRATA models design intent supplied by your architect or engineer of record. We are not the architect or engineer of record on your project, and we do not stamp or seal drawings.
