Competition for work is becoming tougher.  At the same time, already reduced profit margins are being squeezed even further.  It is becoming increasingly difficult for MEP engineers to ignore the benefits of software especially tailored to meet their own particular demands.

 

MEP engineers have a specialised role within the building industry, but many are still using generic software help do their work.  As good as solutions such as the global  industry standard AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are, they are intended to meet the needs of the broadest ranges of businesses and skills.  As a result, they do not address some of the specific challenges faced by the MEP industry.

 

However, many of our customers who have already invested in Autodesk’s software especially tailored for MEP engineers tell us that they now find themselves at an advantage over their competitors because:

 

• Autodesk MEP software increases productivity – for example, basic tasks can be performed at least 30% faster; the time taken to produce fabrication drawings can be cut by weeks.
  
  
• Autodesk MEP software helps improve design accuracy, automatically detecting clashes and validating designs to a level that just isn’t possible using traditional CAD.
  
  
• Autodesk MEP software co-ordinates all project drawings and documentation instantly and automatically.  This means that changes by other project team members such as architects or structural engineers no longer result in hours of re-work for the MEP team.
  
  
• Autodesk MEP software can be implemented without the upheaval and downtime usually associated with new software. Users work in a familiar CAD environment, so the learning curve is minimal.
  
  

And on top of this, to help get you started and make the transition as painless as possible, Autodesk is currently offering one free day of training with every licence.

• Autodesk MEP software makes it easier to work closely with other project team members using the same or interoperable software solutions. This puts MEP firms in a good position to take steps towards building information modelling (BIM) and working in a single project model environment.
  
  
• Autodesk MEP software enables enhanced communication of designs to clients and prime contractors.
  
  
• Autodesk MEP software facilitates the analysis of a building’s performance over time. This enables users to optimise designs and so develop more efficient and sustainable designs.
  
  
• As a world leader in design innovation software, Autodesk represents a safe investment for today. As a substantial investor in research and development it also offers a solid business partnership for the long term.
