Conceptual design for BIM for MEP systems

Initiate a project in Autodesk Docs, use work-in-progress folders, share and consume models in Revit, and track design changes with Revit's Copy Monitor function.


00:03

The first stage of implementing Autodesk’s BIM for MEP system is conceptual design,

00:08

which provides a clear understanding of the project scope during project initiation.

00:13

Its development begins with establishing a common data environment (CDE)

00:18

in the Autodesk Construction Cloud for total project coordination.

00:22

By implementing collaborative approaches that also maintain design integrity, teams can improve project efficiency,

00:29

from initiation all the way through to execution.

00:32

Autodesk Docs provides a structured folder organization

00:36

to ensure seamless collaboration on the development and deployment of detailed BIM models.

00:41

Here in Docs, each design discipline has a dedicated work-in-progress folder,

00:47

which allows individual teams to develop their models independently while maintaining alignment.

00:52

Project administrators can easily assign roles and companies, as well as configure permissions and model coordination spaces.

01:00

Teams share and consume models in Revit, which enables the creation of a federated model for the design coordination.

01:07

This centralized approach fosters streamlined collaboration across disciplines.

01:13

Using Revit’s Copy Monitor function, team members can track design elements across disciplines.

01:19

This proactive approach ensures that everyone is aware of modifications in real time.

01:25

It also minimizes rework by quickly identifying and addressing potential conflicts, such as structural changes that impact MEP routing.

01:34

By leveraging the powerful coordination tools in Autodesk Docs and Revit,

01:39

teams maintain design integrity, improve collaboration,

01:43

and reduce costly rework—driving efficiency from project initiation to final execution.
