Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Do you follow AIA and SMACNA drafting standards for US projects? +

Yes. We model strictly in accordance with AIA G202 BIM protocols, BIMForum LOD 350/400 development specifications, and SMACNA duct construction standards.

Can you provide spool drawings ready for shop fabrication in the US? +

Yes. We produce complete spool sheets with pipe roll angles, fitting callouts, and automated bill of materials tailored for pre-fab workshops.

What is your turnaround for commercial projects in the Midwest? +

We turn around coordinated shop drawings and clash resolutions in 48 to 72 hours, helping mechanical subs stay ahead of concrete pour schedules.
