How to Manage MEP Content for Constructible Models

Jim Reis

The prefabrication of MEP systems is now preferred over paper drawings. With BIM growing in popularity, there is no better time to learn how to manage MEP content for your constructible models.

Building Product Manufacturers (BPMs) are creating design content for commercial buildings and MEP is no exception. Because of this, it's important to stay true to the BIM authoring platform as much as possible because the cost to repurpose content across platforms isn't worth the effort. If you've ever wondered about the benefits of managed MEP content for your constructible models, this is for you.

In this guide, you'll learn:

What makes the prefabrication of MEP systems successful
What BPMs are doing with content
Benefits of managed content
The downfalls of non-managed content
Next steps for managing your MEP content
