Business Needs
Brunswick School required precise mechanical and plumbing 3D modeling, coordination, and shop drawings to ensure smooth construction execution. Given the complexity of MEP coordination in an educational facility, the project demanded a clash-free and well-integrated design. Tejjy Inc. In collaboration with A&B Mechanical was chosen for its expertise in BIM-driven MEP coordination. Our proven experience in delivering high-quality MEP BIM models and shop drawings that optimized efficiency in fabrication and installation, positioned us as the perfect partner for this project.
Key Objectives:
- Develop an accurate 3D model for mechanical and plumbing systems, ensuring alignment with architectural and structural designs.
- Perform clash detection and resolution to eliminate potential conflicts before construction.
- Generate precise shop drawings to facilitate smooth fabrication and installation.
- Improve communication and coordination among stakeholders through a centralized BIM workflow.
Challenges
The project involved certain challenges that required an expert approach:
- The project came with tight coordination requirements. It’s mechanical and plumbing systems needed to fit seamlessly within the architectural and structural constraints of an active educational facility.
- One of the prominent challenges was ensuring proper alignment with electrical, HVAC, and fire protection systems.
- Due to the space constraints, optimizing mechanical and plumbing layouts within limited ceiling and shaft spaces was a crucial task.
- Generating shop drawings that minimized errors in manufacturing and installation.
- Delivering the coordinated model and drawings within a strict construction schedule.

Our Solutions & Approach
To address these challenges, we implemented a technology-driven, collaborative approach:
Comprehensive 3D Modeling: Created detailed mechanical and plumbing models using Revit 2022, ensuring all elements were spatially coordinated.
- Tejjy Inc. Deployed clash detection and resolution using Navisworks to detect and resolve clashes with structural, electrical, and fire protection systems before fabrication.
- With out expert space optimization strategies our team conducted model-based spatial analysis to fit systems within ceiling voids and shafts efficiently. The mechanical and plumbing BIM models were crafted in Autodesk Revit 2022
- Fabrication-Ready Shop Drawings: We produced detailed, trade-specific shop drawings, which were fabrication ready. Our Mechanical and plumbing shop drawings ensured seamless prefabrication and field installation.
- We enabled real-time coordination using a BIM-driven workflow, reducing RFIs and project delays.
Business Impact
- Tejjy Inc.’s clash-free models ensured smooth installation, reducing rework and site conflicts.
- Strategic mechanical and plumbing layout design improved efficiency in tight spaces without compromising accessibility.
- High-accuracy shop drawings streamlined fabrication, minimizing delays.
- A centralized BIM workflow enhanced stakeholder coordination, leading to better decision-making.
- Proactive clash detection and precise documentation reduced unexpected changes and material waste.
