7 Ways MEP BIM Coordination Helps Contractors

MEP BIM-enabled conflict resolution powers seamless fabrication, installation and construction processes with minimal errors and uncompromised quality. Contractors are increasingly unlocking the BIM clash resolution advantages to optimize project costs and shrink project timelines.

Inaccurate or clash-ridden MEP systems can seriously jeopardize fabrication and onsite installation. Designing and building complex projects requires perfect synchronization and harmony between multiple MEP components. Identifying and resolving clashes and any discord at the pre-construction stage through visual 3D MEP models improves onsite installation efficiency through reduced rework, fewer project delays and minimal cost overruns.

The cost of rework fueled by a single onsite clash is estimated to range from $1500 up to $8000, depending on the disciplines involved and the building stage at which they are detected.
