Our MEP Design & BIM Coordination Process
We don’t just draft; we engineer solutions. Our structured workflow integrates rigorous load analysis, 3D coordination, and QA/QC to minimize change orders and accelerate permitting.
Why Process Matters
Engineering Judgment, Not Just Drafting
Many firms skip straight to drawing lines. At M&S Mechanical, we start with analysis. By understanding the building physics first, we size systems correctly—avoiding the common pitfalls of oversizing and energy code violations.
Concept Development
We evaluate multiple system types (e.g., VRF vs. VAV) to find the best fit for your budget and energy goals.
BIM Coordination
We model in 3D to detect clashes between ductwork, piping, and structure before they happen onsite.
Code Compliance
Rigorous review against local amendments, NFPA standards, and energy codes (IECC/ASHRAE).
- Retrofit & Renovation
Existing Conditions Verification
For retrofit projects, relying on old paper drawings is a risk we don’t take. We utilize 3D Laser Scanning and detailed site verification to capture the reality of your building.
This workflow allows us to design new systems that weave through existing constraints, eliminating expensive field modifications and schedule delays.
Point Cloud Capture
Millimeter-accurate digital twins of mechanical rooms.
As-Built Validation
Verifying that what is on paper matches reality.

Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
We employ a stringent Peer Review Process. Before any drawing leaves our office, it is reviewed by a Senior Engineer not directly involved in the design to ensure objectivity, code compliance, and constructability.
