Industry Trends
Business Environment Is Changing
  • Complex projects involving multiple AEC disciplines
  • Industry demand for integrated project delivery
  • MEP process shift from design to fabrication
4
Business Challenges
Owners, CEOs, and Principals
  • Increasing global awareness of the environmental impact of the AEC industry
  • Industry trend toward larger, more complex projects
  • Decreasing availability of trained and competent professionals
5
Business Challenges
MEP Engineers, Designers, and Drafters
  • Time-consuming, repetitive manual drafting tasks
  • Lack of accurate, coordinated documentation workflow


  • Difficulty understanding
    complex engineering designs
  • Difficulty incorporating last-minute design changes during the design process
6
Product Solution
AutoCAD® MEP 2009
7
Problem
Larger, More Complex Projects
  • The more complex the project, the harder it is to stay coordinated with the other design disciplines.
  • We are usually the last to hear of changes that impact our designs.
  • I’m held responsible for RFIs if my construction documents aren’t accurate.
8
Solution
Better Collaboration Using a Single Model
  • Reduce coordination errors between disciplines.
  • Accommodate last-minute design changes.
  • Reduce costly RFIs with coordinated documentation.


9
Problem
Scarcity of Trained, Competent Professionals
  • We are so busy, I need immediate productivity from my people.
  • I need my people creating designs, not content.
  • My clients depend on our clear and consistent construction documents.
10
Solution: AutoCAD® Revit® MEP Suite 2009
Start with a Common Platform
and Move to BIM at Your Own Pace
  • Work in a familiar environment.
  • Use tools and content designed for MEP professionals.


  • Create MEP documentation faster.
11
Problem
How do I deal with time-consuming and repetitive drafting tasks?
  • How do I keep my annotation accurate as my design changes?
  • How can I better manage my schedules during the design process?
  • How can I avoid doing redundant work as I create my final CD’s?
12
Solution
Design and Coordinate more effectively!
    • Automated labeling tools streamline annotation process
    • Annotations update automatically when design changes are made or when switching view scale
    • Schedules are created and updated automatically as you create your design
