From Design to Fabrication: Streamlining MEP Models with Cloud-Based Collaboration and Automation

Turning a design-stage MEP BIM model into a fabrication-ready (LOD 400) model using Fabrication MEP parts is one of the most critical and complex phases in the project lifecycle. Once IFC files and construction drawings are handed off, the responsibility shifts to general contractors and subcontractors to ensure constructability, meet engineering standards, and align with fabrication requirements. This session will demonstrate how Construction Cloud , AutoCAD or Revit with Fabrication MEP parts, curated MEP database sets, custom scripts and powerful add-ins enhance model refinement. You’ll discover how early modeling decisions reduce waste, improve rerouting, and accelerate field installation. By resolving fabrication needs in the model, teams reduce material use and empower crews with ready-to-build content. Whether you're a GC or MEP subcontractor working toward high-detail prefab, this session offers the tools to bridge design and construction empower by the cloud base tools.
