W.T. Rich utilizes BIM-based 3-D modeling to conduct MEP coordination on all projects.  We believe there are significant added value and cost savings through the use of BIM.  Early planning during the preconstruction phase includes: 

• Clearly define subcontractor roles, responsibilities, standards and deadlines for the MEP coordination process

• Manage data and information exchange standards

• Provide baseline 3D architectural and structural models to each major trade discipline

• Define and manage the schedule for coordination process

• Schedule and lead regular MEP coordination meetings

• Assemble and integrate contractor developed models

• Run collision detection software

• Lead MEP coordination efforts/meetings to investigate and resolve all conflicts

• Catalog all coordination issues, along with their resolution

• Verify that all agreed-to changes are properly captured in final models

• Conduct regular field visits to verify that installation complies with coordination models

“W.T. Rich provided outstanding leadership through a team-driven process that built understanding and trust. Their proactive, thoughtful and highly committed approach to project delivery has allowed us to achieve the goals of the project in an effective and efficient manner.  It has been an absolute pleasure working with them.”
