BIM coordination and fabrication-level modeling for mechanical and plumbing subcontractors. Clash-resolved systems, LOD 400 where it pays for itself, and shop drawings drawn the way installers read them.

| BIM coordination | Trade coordination from contract drawings through sign-off. Clash detection and resolution in Navisworks, 4D sequencing against the schedule, and coordination meetings run so decisions get made. You get: a signed-off model, clash reports, and a record of every decision. |
|---|---|
| Fabrication modeling and shop drawings | LOD 400 modeling evaluated on every project — used where it cuts field hours, skipped where it doesn't. Spool sheets, hanger layouts, and sleeve and insert drawings built to your shop's standards. You get: fab-ready spools and drawings your field can request and read on a phone. |
| Mechanical and 3D design | Parametric modeling for anything mechanical: equipment skids, custom supports and frames, fixtures, and one-off parts. Design intent through fabrication detail. You get: a 3D model, drawings, and a parts list you can send to a shop. |
Run by Eddie Adams, BIM Manager at Southern MEP in Greenville, SC, with BIM and VDC work on MEP systems since 2018.
Project types so far: semiconductor fabs, hydrometallurgy plants, detention centers, and behavioral health facilities — the end of the spectrum where coordination mistakes are expensive.
Send the contract set, or just the scope you're trying to price, and you'll get a straight answer on whether LOD 400 is worth it on this one.
