Built for your role

Every team on the project gets something different

BIM coordinators

Catch every MEP crossing before it becomes a site problem.

Outcome: Zero missed openings

MEP contractors

Review openings with sizes and positions clearly marked.

Outcome: Faster approvals

Project managers

Track opening approvals across floors and trades.

Outcome: Fewer site delays

The scope

Covering the whole system

Sleeves through floorsOpenings through slabs sized from pipe or duct plus clearance.

What you deliver

Deliverables at every project stage

The same model carries from design to handover, so nothing is redrawn between stages.

Example project

2,400 openings approved before the first pour

Hospital

Scope: Walls, floors, beams
Team: 1 coordinator
Size: 12 floors

The structural model was linked, and every MEP crossing was found and sleeved level by level. Opening layouts were sent to the structural engineer ahead of each pour.
