For MEP Engineers

Size, balance, and document your systems — without the spreadsheets

ApexBIM brings your MEP engineering calculations right into the building model. Size pipes and ducts, balance electrical panels, figure out water demand, and design fire sprinkler systems — all while seeing exactly how your systems fit alongside the structure.

The Problem

Challenges mep engineers face

These are the real problems you deal with every day. We built ApexBIM to solve them.

Sizing pipes and ducts with spreadsheets

Figuring out pipe and duct sizes means looking up formulas, friction loss tables, and guidelines — then plugging numbers into a spreadsheet. It's slow, easy to get wrong, and completely disconnected from the 3D model you're designing.

Panel balancing by trial and error

Distributing circuits across a 3-phase panel to keep things balanced is done by guesswork. There's no tool that just tells you the best arrangement and shows you the imbalance percentage.

No easy check for MEP vs structural clashes

A duct hitting a beam or a pipe crossing a column — these clashes are often caught during installation. Checking for them means exporting both models to a separate tool.

Riser diagrams drawn by hand

Plumbing riser diagrams for cold water, hot water, sanitary, and fire sprinkler systems are drawn manually in CAD. Every floor change means redrawing — a repetitive task that should just happen automatically.

The Solution

How ApexBIM helps

Each pain point has a direct solution in ApexBIM. Here's how the platform addresses your challenges.

Built-in pipe and duct sizing

MEP Sizing Tools

Enter your flow rate and instantly get the right pipe or duct size, velocity, and pressure drop. No more looking up formulas or maintaining spreadsheets — the math is done for you.

Automatic panel balancing

Panel Balancing

List your circuits and loads — ApexBIM figures out the best arrangement across all three phases, applies the right safety factors, and tells you the imbalance. It even suggests which circuit to move if things are off.

Check MEP against the structure

Clash Detection

See where your pipes, ducts, and lights clash with walls, columns, and beams — with one click. Each clash is flagged with its location and handed to the right person to fix.

Risers and schedules, automatically

MEP Documentation

Generate plumbing riser diagrams, equipment schedules, and panel schedules straight from your model. No more drawing by hand — they update when the model changes.
