IP meeting with Engineering Consultants Merged

Winning the Work Proposal is written and accepted Calculation of systems begin Flow rate Air systems Pre-design and context data collection Technology used: BIM 360 PDF Markup Revit Calculations for MEP is not good enough Schematic Design / Design Development Comes in lateSD, early DD Will receive an architecture model and will have to recreate in Revit for MEP (uses BIM360) A lot of the calculations are dependent on the building information provided by the architect Visual communication with the architect really depends onthe tech savviness of the architect Construction Documentation Enscape used for major coordination issues and communication–you can only see so much in aplan view Used as an alternative communication pathway Out to bid/RFIs Mostly usePDFs and links for communication Will send Enscape renders if additional clarification on specific issues are needed Ex. will use Enscape to visualize how bright an electrical room would be, etc. Client Communication Will definitely maintain relationships with clients Emails, phone calls, photographs of final construction MEPs will reply with plan views Once the project is completed, the handoff goes to the architect Facilities are not included in the contract usually Proof of Concepts: Energy and Daylight Analysis Could see use for this, but does depend on whether or not the architect puts the correctmaterials and parameters in model Bilateral movement of data is powerful Very interested in this aspectRevit Filters Sees value,already has a way to work around this in Revit This would definitely increase use of Enscape Linking color associations to system type Would want a way to filter color within Enscape “Big first step for incorporating MEP” Annotation and Markup Reminds of Revizto (Revizto is too much for their firm) Could have one less email, one less PDF, one less hurdle of communication Interested in multiple user markup capabilities in VR
