MEP related change orders often exceed $5,000
Issues identified late typically cost significantly more once construction has started
MEP Implementation Planning - technical
We help General Contractors and Developers identify system and constructability risk early – long before they turn into RFIs, field conflicts or change order. This is where we bring real MEP logic, engineering thinking and practical knowledge into the project.
What's included:
- Logical review of airflow, equipment locations & system zoning
- Constructability & installation feasibility checks
- Early conflict analysis in ceiling spaces (HVAC vs. structure vs. MEP)
- Access & serviceability review (maintenance paths, door clearances, etc.)
- Routing strategy (high-level) for ducts/pipes in congested areas
- Review of missing or unclear information in the permit set
- Technical risk report (code gaps, inconsistencies, coordination risks)
Result/Deliverables:
- Short technical summary report (PDF)
- 1 Example Plan with annotated comments / redlines to the Engineer-of-Record design
- Recommended next steps for GC and MEP trade
MEP Implementation Planning & Coordination - BIM based
We turn early design into a buildable, coordinated model. We integrate architectural, structural and MEP models to eliminate conflicts, reduce field rework and support seamless execution. BIM is not the product - constructability is.
What's included:
- All from MEP Implementation Planning - technical
- BIM model integration
- 3D coordination of MEP
- Clash detection & structured clash resolution
- Ceiling-space coordination & height management
- Detailed routing of ducts, pipes & equipment
- Multi-trade interface checks (HVAC/ELEC/PLUM/FP)
- Consolidated model updates (weekly or milestone-based)
- Support for Submittals & Shop Drawings
- Issue management via ACC/Revizto (optional)
Result/Deliverables:
- Fully coordinated 3D model (HVAC or full MEP package)
- Clash report + issue list (PDF) (if it's even still needed)
- Routing & installation-ready layouts for trades with final coordination package for GC, HVAC and MEP subcontractors
Design Assist & Preconstruction Support - BIM based
We support GCs and Developers in the early design phases with practical MEP system guidance, helping the Engineer of Record and the Contractor make faster, clearer and more constructible decisions.
This service reduces uncertainty, eliminates redesign cycles and creates technical clarity before construction.
What's included:
- All from MEP Implementation Planning & Coordination - BIM based
- Review of system concepts, options & early equipment selections
- Feasibility studies (space constraints, ceiling congestion, routing logic)
- Constructability recommendations for Engineers & GCs
- Technical design questions resolved early
- Collaboration with the Engineer of Record (non-PE scope)
- Early coordination with trades (MEP)
- BIM workflow
- Implementation-level MEP
- Planning and system integrator with German knowhow
- Bridge the gap between planning permission and construction reality
Result/Deliverables:
- Design Assist Reports with system insights & recommendations
- Early coordination model (HVAC, ELEC, PLUM and FP)
- Coordination workshops & meetings
- Meeting notes & issue tracking
- A ready-made package for execution
- Optional ACC or Revizto project setup + coordination structure
Collaboration is KEY
AGE Design & Build provides Implementation-level MEP Planning & Coordination. We are baked by real engineering logic, German technical thinking and U.S. constructability experience. We are a technical team with German roots and a clear focus: technical precision, long-term solutions and genuine partnerships - human to human with German Knowhow Specialists
Our background is built on more than 100 commercial HVAC projects in Germany. This experience is now applied in the U.S. market, where we provide our Design Assist for General Contractors and Commercial Developers.
We are not a BIM Company. BIM is only one part of it. Our Value is engineering-based MEP understanding and real-world constructability!
Coordinate early - Build seamlessly
At AGE Design & Build, we believe that qualityis never an accident. True building performance starts long before the first duct is installed - with precise coordination, clear communication and the Knowhow of German engineer Thinking.
Our method is simple: solve problems before they happen.
What you get with our FREE coordination Check:
- rapid risk analysis
- 3-5 specific findings from the permit set
- Early constructability & installation feedback
- Rough ceiling/routing conflict checks
- Potential schedule risk and missing data detection
- Zero rework mindset - do it once, do it right!
Because in the end, it's not just about finishing a project - it's about delivering Exceptional Building Performance
American Execution - German Precision - Exceptional Building Performance
So many people ask me, "Hey Peter, why are you doing this?"
I'm doing this because it frustrates me that most construction projects these days are too expensive, take too long and create so much pressure that you can't build anything and you have to meet the deadline. I know it can be done differently, I know you can meet deadlines if you approach it with the right strategy, the right partners and the right motivation. That's why I founded AGE Design & Build. Because I want to show that it can be done better, more effectively and more cheaply!
