As-Built Drawings / Surveying

It is common to run into roadblocks during construction. The process is very complex, which is why problem solving is an important skill to obtain in this industry. Modifications are bound to be made as the project moves along and the final result may not resonate with the initial plans. This is why as-built drawings are encouraged, for they depict a rendering of the building in its final form. As-built drawings are essential to the proper maintenances and servicing of the MEP equipment and systems. They provide a clear record of what equipment has been installed and where valves, smoke / fire dampers and access panels have been installed etc.

Coordination Drawings

The ultimate purpose of a coordination drawing is to avoid and eliminate any physical coordination conflicts that may arise in the layout. For instance, it assures that there is a sufficient amount of space available for the equipment intended to be used. This is often done prior to the start of a buildings construction process in order to create a more efficient way of working for everybody involved. Buildings with complex mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements run a greater risk of physical interferences which is why coordination drawings are not only a great help but necessary for the successful completion of any project of any size.

The production of installation and coordination shop drawings is a crucial and rather essential component in the process of construction. It is a highly detailed and informative drawing that depicts all the technicalities listed in particular construction documents but in drawn form. The overall intention of a shop drawing is to logistically plan out and exemplify both the fabrication and installation of the required and needed items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor’s installation crews. Sleeve / penetration drawings will also be provided for approval by the A/E of Record.

BIM Management

BLR3 Inc. offers contractors the flexibility of performing their own drafting and coordination while we facilitate the process. BLR3 Inc. will ensure that all of the latest documents are being utilized and the drafting standards (L.O.D) are being executed in a timely fashion. We will collect and compile the contractors’ drawings / models to generate a composite model and run clash detection using Navis Works. A clash report will be generated and shared for all to make corrections as needed. Our staff is comprised of a highly technical team with extensive field knowledge,

which will bring resolutions to the table while maintaining the integrity of the original

design intent.

Fire Protection Hydraulic Calculations and Drawings

Hydraulic calculations and drawings are a vital element when designing fire protection systems. These calculations and drawings make certain that the flow rate confirmed through the piping network will be sufficient enough to successfully control fires.

BIM ( Building Information Modeling )

BLR3 Inc. specializes in BIM. BIM software is an intelligent 3D model based process that gives us the insight and tools to more efficiently construct and manage your buildings and infrastructure. This allows us to better capture the data we create during the coordination process to benefit MEP installation, operations and maintenance activities.
