Engineering services · BIM for MEP
HVAC/R system models, multidisciplinary coordination and documentation that supports design decisions and site work. BIM as a standalone scope or part of an installation project—from setting standards and inputs to agreed deliverables and model handover.
BIM service catalogue
We tailor the scope to the project stage and standards. Before starting, we agree on level of detail, required information, formats, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
Discipline models developed from design information, agreed references and project standards.
Model reviews that help teams identify and resolve spatial issues before construction.
Model-based deliverables structured to the agreed project standard and purpose.
Review of agreed modelling, information and completeness requirements before handover.
Updates to system documentation and information based on agreed construction records.
Structuring equipment and system-element data where included in the information requirements.
BIM extension · Digital Twin
Autodesk Tandem can provide a digital-twin environment where a BIM model and asset information help teams move from design documentation to a structured view of a facility. Operational value depends on adding agreed data and defining how it is kept up to date.
Autodesk Tandem Data API — documentationSpatial context for equipment and systems helps teams locate assets and connect them to information.
Agreed properties, identifiers and equipment attributes can support handover and subsequent maintenance workflows.
BMS, IoT or service-system data requires an agreed source, connection method, update frequency and data owner.
Depending on scope, the model can support asset identification, access to information and work-order integrations.
Implementation scope
The Tandem Data API supports reading BIM model data and reading and writing custom schema properties. External-system connections are scoped separately after reviewing APIs, data quality and permissions.
Identify users, required assets, attributes, sources and responsibility for keeping information current.
Review structure, identifiers, properties, locations and the handover scope for Tandem.
Design agreed data flows from BMS, IoT, service or ERP systems; scope depends on available interfaces.
Check data links and visibility, then hand over access rules and integration-maintenance arrangements.
A Digital Twin is not created by publishing a model alone. The scope does not automatically include real-time telemetry, BMS integrations or data updates without agreed sources and configuration. Tandem environment access and Autodesk permissions remain customer-managed.
Explore Digital TwinBIM delivery framework
Before work starts, we agree on the team's role, data sources, design and model responsibilities, coordination cadence and acceptance criteria.
Objectives, disciplines, responsibilities, LOD / LOI and collaboration rules.
Review of files, coordinates, versions, CDE and exchange formats.
Iterative work, model reviews and issue handling against the agreed plan.
Review of agreed requirements and delivery of models and outputs.
BIM in practice · case study
AEC Design’s account of HellCold’s implementation shows how a shared data environment connected designers, the investor and contractors—including teams working directly on site.
Give project participants access to current materials in one clear, shared place.
Start with BIM model collaboration, then extend Autodesk Construction Cloud with Autodesk Docs.
Make documentation available to installation teams using tablets and the PlanGrid app on site.
According to AEC Design, shared documentation improved communication transparency and reduced email traffic.
Mobile access supported document review and helped teams avoid installation errors and clashes.
The case study also mentions a planned Autodesk Construction Cloud integration with Microsoft Business Central to support faster estimating.
To prepare a proposal, share the discipline and project stage, modelling scope, expected deliverables, schedule, and available reference models and documentation. Before starting, we confirm formats (such as RVT / IFC), software versions, CDE, collaboration rules and required information level.
Modelling, coordination, design authorship and responsibility for input data are defined before work starts. A Digital Twin is a separate stage requiring agreement on operational data, update sources, integrations, permissions and responsibility for maintaining information.
