CAD Co-Ordination Capabilities
Starting with a Structural 2D floor plan within AutoCAD...
Utilising AutoCAD Architecture, we begin to build a fully detailed 3D model of the entire building, the example here being the basement area of the new Critical Care Unit at Royal Hospital
Once all the floors have been modelled, we then use this model as a basis to begin our services co-ordination
Using a combination of
the latest 3D mechanical & electrical services packages from both Autodesk “AutoCAD MEP” & MAP’s “CADDUCT” we begin laying out every service within each floor of the model, building up a true reflection of what will be installed on site.
Once the services have been placed into the model, we switch over to the Navisworks suite of software and can then walk through the completed model in real-time exploring ways to improve access to plant or better and more efficient ways to run services eliminating the potential of services clashes on site.
The completed model provides the ability to output specific services drawings, fabrication drawings and installation drawings to our planning, workshops and site teams.
