S&P used Building Information Modeling (BIM) to model and coordinate mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems. Revit Architecture modeled the structure, raised fl oor, interior and exterior walls, doors, windows, and ceilings. Revit MEP modeled duct work and piping, plumbing, cable trays, and fire sprinkler system. Navisworks coordinated both models and provided collision detection.
