Taking MEP Design to the Next Level

Revit MEP: A BIM Powerhouse

Before diving into the world of Naviate MEP, let's take a moment to appreciate the capabilities of Revit MEP. Developed by Autodesk, Revit MEP is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that has fundamentally transformed the way MEP systems are conceived and managed in construction projects. This tool empowers engineers and designers to effortlessly create intricate 3D models of building systems, promoting a holistic approach to design.

One of Revit MEP's standout features is its support for interdisciplinary collaboration. It fosters seamless teamwork among HVAC, electrical, and plumbing specialists, allowing them to integrate their designs into a single model. This collaborative approach prevents conflicts and errors at an early stage of the design process, leading to substantial time and cost savings during construction. Moreover, Revit MEP automates the generation of precise construction documents from the 3D model, streamlining documentation and reducing discrepancies between the design and execution phases.

Revit MEP significantly enhances collaboration, simplifies documentation, and empowers MEP experts to create efficient, sustainable systems tailored to each project's unique requirements. It has undeniably become an indispensable tool in the construction industry.

The Benefits of Naviate MEP

Now that we've established the prowess of Revit MEP, let's shift our focus to Naviate MEP and how it can further amplify these capabilities. Developed and owned by Symetri, Naviate MEP is an add-on solution for Revit, meticulously designed to enhance and extend the functionality of Revit MEP. Symetri's customer-centric approach ensures that Naviate MEP addresses the real-world challenges faced by MEP professionals.

Naviate MEP offers specialised MEP toolsets, templates, and workflows that are tailor-made for MEP professionals. These tools are strategically designed to streamline the daily tasks of MEP experts. One of the standout features of Naviate MEP is its support for 3D modeling views. This means no more toggling between plan views, sections, and 3D views to understand how elements are connecting and how runs are developing. Engineers can seamlessly work in 3D, saving valuable modeling time.
