AI for MEP Drawings
How AI assists with MEP drawing creation and coordination.
Definition
AI for MEP drawings helps mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers create and coordinate documentation. AI can check MEP drawings for code compliance, verify system sizing, identify coordination conflicts, and ensure proper documentation. AI-powered MEP review improves coordination and reduces conflicts.
In Depth
MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) drawings communicate the most spatially complex building systems — ductwork and piping that weave through ceiling plenums, electrical distribution that runs from switchgear to every outlet, and plumbing supply and waste systems that serve every fixture. AI for MEP drawings addresses both the production and the review of these information-dense documents.
Coordination checking between MEP disciplines identifies conflicts that would cause problems in the field — a duct run that conflicts with a pipe main, a conduit tray that blocks access to a valve, or a sprinkler head that is obstructed by a lighting fixture. AI checks these spatial relationships across all MEP disciplines simultaneously, catching conflicts that might be missed when reviewing disciplines individually.
