BIM modeling in Revit

Electrical BIM modeling in Revit and MEP coordination

BIM modeling of electrical installations in Revit: cable trays, raceways, panelboards and luminaires in 3D, coordinated with architecture, structure and plumbing to detect clashes.

Tools: Revit · Navisworks or another coordination viewer, depending on the project

What it includes

Scope of the service

  • Electrical model in Revit

    Panelboards, cable trays, raceways, luminaires and devices modeled with their technical data.

  • Multidisciplinary coordination

    Integration with the available architecture, structure and plumbing models.

  • Clash detection

    Review of clashes between disciplines when the scope and the available models allow it.

  • Drawings from the model

    Plans, sections and schedules generated from the model, consistent with each other.

Deliverables

  • Revit model (RVT) of the electrical discipline
  • Coordinated 3D views and sections
  • Clash report, when applicable
  • Drawings and schedules generated from the model

What we need to quote

  • Architectural model (RVT or IFC) or drawings to model it
  • Models of other disciplines, if any
  • Expected level of detail and model use
  • Revit version used by the project

Scope and clarifications

  • Coordination depends on the models delivered by the other disciplines; ECOHIDRO models the electrical discipline.
  • The level of detail and the model information are agreed in the proposal.
Frequently asked questions

About bIM modeling in Revit

What is the advantage of BIM over a CAD drawing?

The model combines geometry and information: plans, sections and quantities come from the same model, and clashes with other services are visible before construction.

Can you model a design made by someone else?

Yes, from the existing design drawings, provided the design's author validates the resulting model.

Do you have an electrical project under way?

Tell us what you need and we will assess the scope of the right engineering solution for your project.
