Heating, water & drainage
Preliminary heat loads, radiators, underfloor heating, pipe networks, pumps and manifolds. Potable water, hot water/circulation and foul/rainwater drainage include gradients and calculation records.
secondFactory
Building services & MEP planning
Plan, preliminarily size and coordinate building services on a shared building basis, connected to quantities, costs and project workflows.
Starting point
Start with the documents you have.
The existing model provides rooms, storeys and building elements. Uses, temperatures, loads, connections, manufacturer data and design decisions complete the engineering basis. Data provenance and missing inputs remain visible.
Specialised capabilities
Engineering detail. Connected in the project.
Ventilation, cooling, electrical & IT
Airflow and duct sizing, cooling units and condensate; cooling-load estimates with required inputs. Electrical distribution, circuits, cable sizing and voltage drop, plus data networks, outlets and cable lengths.
PV, fire protection & automation
PV arrays, inverters, strings and yield assumptions; fire-stopping lists and fire-alarm components. Building-automation point and function lists are derived from the systems actually planned.
Discipline coordination
Routing, shafts, penetrations, maintenance spaces and cross-discipline collision findings. Variants and architectural changes produce reviewable design revisions.
Additional engineering tools
Preliminary gas sizing, lift coordination, compressed air, rainwater reuse, solar thermal, charging infrastructure, irrigation and separators are implemented as additional planning tools. Process media are maintained manually.

Documented software workflow
Apartment building with heat pump and office building
The residential example shows a heat pump and underfloor heating for each apartment. The office example combines planned ventilation at 5,064 m³/h, 41 fire dampers, electrical systems, PV and fire-alarm components. Quantities and services continue into quotation, procurement, installation planning and billing.
Synthetic demonstration, not a customer reference.
Integration & deliverables
Configured for your business.
PDF plans and reports, DXF, STEP, GLB, CSV, ZIP and IFC4 subsets support design handover. Revision references and review status accompany outputs. Material and component lists connect engineering and commercial workflows.
Configuration and engineering review
Calculations show their actual status: heat loads and gas are preliminary sizing; cooling loads are estimates. Missing manufacturer pressure losses, potable-water/circulation evidence or fire strategies remain open engineering items. Professional design, standards verification and acceptance belong to the responsible project engineers.
