Multiple Business Models

Pinnacle specializes in providing integrated MEP design services using a collaborative 3D BIM platform. Our track record includes 1700+ MEP Design projects over 30+ years across 6 continents. 

We integrate advanced design tools like Dialux, Elite, Pipenet & ETAP, which enables faster iterations leading to substantial savings in design time and costs.  

Our findings show that integrated MEP Design results in 40% savings in design time and 20% savings in design costs on average for our clients.

Benefits

  • Faster & Efficient design Process with automated iterations
  • Design software interfacing directly with the BIM model
  • Data integrity
  • Engineers, architects & owners work on a single online model
  • Optimization of material quantities and equipment sizing with the final routing of ducts & pipes in the coordinated BIM model
  • Substantial savings in design time & cost
  • Constructible & Value engineered BIM models
  • Consistent & detailed Construction Documents
  • Detailed Quantity Take-offs for project costing

Integrated MEP Design

The traditional design process is a sequential process where the stakeholders work in silos. It involves a series of handoffs from owner to architect and architect to engineer, leading to multiple iterations, which renders it inefficient, costly, and time-consuming. It does not view a building as an interdependent system; hence it does not facilitate stakeholder collaboration.

Integrated MEP Design takes a collaborative approach to promote synergy between various building systems. It allows the integration of third-party design tools directly into BIM, which allows faster iterations leading to substantial savings in design time and costs. The 3D BIM model is detailed & constructible, which enables MEP engineers to develop detailed construction documents.
