Description
Programme Highlights
All Three MEP Disciplines in One Programme
Cover HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems as an integrated programme — developing the cross-discipline awareness that MEP coordinators and BIM engineers need to manage inter-system coordination on GCC commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects.
Practical Skills Through Project Work
Every module develops competency through practical project scenarios — not abstract theory. Skills are built progressively and tested on real building typologies, ensuring that learning translates directly to the MEP BIM environments participants enter in practice.
MEP Coordination and Clash Detection Within Revit
Learn to link architectural and structural models into the MEP host file, create coordination views, and identify and resolve MEP-to-structure and MEP-to-architecture clashes — the core technical skill for MEP BIM roles on GCC multi-discipline construction projects.
Construction-Ready Documentation Output
Produce the schedules, annotation sets, sheet layouts, and coordinated drawing packages that meet the MEP documentation standards required by engineering consultancies, main contractors, and authority submission processes across Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.
Course Curriculum — 7 Modules
BIM Fundamentals and Revit MEP Setup
Establish the conceptual and technical foundation for MEP BIM work in Revit. This module introduces Building Information Modeling specifically from the MEP engineering perspective — addressing how MEP disciplines use BIM differently from architectural teams, what data MEP models are expected to carry at LOD 300 and LOD 350, and how MEP BIM outputs connect to downstream coordination, construction, and facilities management workflows on GCC projects. Participants configure the Revit MEP project environment: setting up discipline-specific project templates, MEP settings for duct, pipe, and electrical system families, unit configurations aligned with Saudi and UAE engineering documentation standards, and the linked architectural model workflow that anchors the MEP model to the base building geometry. The module establishes the workset structure and naming conventions that keep large-scale MEP models manageable across active coordination programmes.
Mechanical Systems — HVAC
Model complete HVAC systems using Revit MEP's mechanical toolset — building the supply and return air networks, equipment placements, and duct routing geometry that form the primary spatial coordination challenge on GCC commercial and hospitality projects. This module covers air terminal placement and system assignment, mechanical equipment family insertion and parameter configuration, supply and return duct network modelling, duct sizing using Revit's automated sizing tools, system routing strategies for low-ceiling commercial environments, and the coordination view setup that exposes HVAC-to-structure and HVAC-to-architectural ceiling clashes. Participants produce complete HVAC construction documentation: coordinated plan views, section details, equipment schedules, and duct pressure loss reports formatted to the mechanical engineering documentation standards used on construction projects across Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar. The module addresses the specific spatial constraints of GCC project types — the false ceiling coordination zones in shopping malls, hotel corridors, and high-density office fit-outs where HVAC routing density is highest.
Plumbing Systems
Model complete building plumbing systems — cold and hot water supply networks, gravity drainage and sanitary systems, and the pipe routing geometry that must coordinate with structural slabs, MEP service corridors, and shaft allocations on multi-storey GCC residential towers and commercial buildings. This module covers pipe system creation and type configuration, plumbing fixture placement and connection, cold and hot water distribution network modelling, gravity drainage system routing with correct slope management, pipe sizing workflows, and chase and shaft coordination. Participants learn to manage the slope constraints that govern drainage pipe routing — a discipline-specific challenge that generates significant coordination issues with structural beams and slab penetration zones on residential tower projects. The module covers production of the plumbing construction drawing set: hot and cold water plans, drainage plans, pipe schedules, fixture schedules, and the isometric-style riser diagrams used in GCC plumbing documentation packages.
Electrical Systems
Model complete building electrical systems in Revit MEP — from lighting fixture placement and luminaire circuit assignment through power distribution modelling, electrical panel scheduling, conduit routing, and cable tray systems that occupy the shared coordination zone above suspended ceilings alongside HVAC and plumbing. This module covers lighting layout development using Revit electrical families, switch and socket placement, circuit creation and panel board assignment, low-voltage and high-voltage distribution network modelling, load calculation workflows, and conduit and cable tray routing with correct bend and offset management. Participants develop the electrical documentation package: lighting plans, power layout plans, panel board schedules, load summary reports, and single-line diagrams — formatted to the electrical engineering documentation standards required by authority submission packages across UAE, Saudi, and GCC regulatory environments. The module addresses the coordination specifics of electrical cable tray routing in the MEP zone — the spatial conflicts with HVAC ductwork that generate the highest density of coordination issues on GCC commercial and mixed-use developments.
MEP Coordination and Clash Detection
Apply structured coordination and clash detection workflows within the Revit MEP environment — identifying and resolving the inter-system spatial conflicts that, if undetected, generate the RFIs, change orders, and programme delays that define MEP coordination failure on GCC construction projects. This module covers the multi-discipline linking workflow in Revit: controlling linked model visibility for coordination purposes, setting up coordination views that expose MEP services against structural beams, slabs, and architectural elements, and using Revit's interference checking tool for preliminary clash identification. Participants develop systematic clash resolution procedures — categorising conflicts by type and priority, coordinating routing adjustments with structural and architectural teams, and documenting resolution decisions in coordination issue logs. The module also covers the BIM collaboration workflows that connect Revit MEP coordination with Navisworks Manage: NWC export configuration, clash set preparation, and how Revit-based coordination integrates with the formal clash detection and reporting processes required on ISO 19650-compliant GCC project delivery programmes.
Families, Schedules, and Documentation
Develop the family customisation skills and documentation production workflows that complete a professional Revit MEP deliverable. This module covers MEP family creation and editing — building custom duct fittings, pipe accessories, electrical devices, and equipment families that match manufacturer specifications or project-specific requirements not available in standard Revit content libraries. Participants develop the schedules that form a core part of the MEP construction package: equipment schedules for mechanical plant, pipe and duct schedules, electrical panel load schedules, lighting fixture schedules, and room data sheets. The module covers annotation workflows — tagging air terminals, diffusers, fixtures, and equipment with the system and specification data required for construction, commissioning, and handover — and sheet setup: title block configuration, viewport organisation, view filter application, and the complete sheet set assembly that constitutes an issue-ready MEP construction documentation package aligned with GCC engineering consultancy and contractor documentation standards.
Project-Based Application
Apply the full programme skill set to a comprehensive multi-storey building project that mirrors the scope and complexity of the MEP BIM deliverables expected on commercial and residential construction projects across the GCC. Participants model all three MEP disciplines within a single project environment — HVAC supply and return networks, plumbing cold and hot water and drainage systems, and electrical lighting and power distribution — coordinating each system against the linked architectural and structural models and resolving inter-discipline clashes through a structured coordination workflow. The capstone produces the complete construction-ready deliverable set: coordinated MEP plans per floor, section details, system schedules, annotation-complete drawing sheets, and a clash-resolved federated BIM model. This module consolidates every skill developed across the programme into a single, portfolio-ready output that demonstrates end-to-end MEP BIM competency — directly applicable to MEP BIM Modeler, MEP BIM Coordinator, MEP Engineer, and Building Services Engineer roles in architecture, engineering, construction, and facilities management across the Middle East.
