HVAC costs too high? Chaos on Site?

HVAC should support your project — not destabilize it.

But in many commercial builds, incomplete coordination and late technical decisions lead to schedule pressure, cost exposure, and site-level conflict.

These are not execution problems. It's preventable planning gaps.

HVAC related change orders often exceed $5,000

Issues identified late typically cost significantly more once construction has started

Complex Coordination issues can easily cost $2,000–$25,000 per conflict

Depending on project phase, access and schedule impact

Reduced RFIs and faster project execution

Clear coordination decisions reduce delays and keep projects on schedule.

Reducing HVAC-Related Risk at Every Project Stage

Schedule. Budget. Coordination. Controlled

HVAC Implementation Planning - Constructability First

We help General Contractors and Developers make HVAC systems buildable – long before they turn into RFIs, field conflicts or change order. This is where we bring real HVAC system logic, constructability thinking and real-world execution 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:

  • Clear Go/no-Go decision framework for shop drawing release
  • Identified risks impacting procurement and long-lead equipment
  • Minimizes late-stage coordination delays
  • Increased schedule predictability before fabrication

Deliverables:

  • HVAC Implementation Risk Summary report (PDF)
  • 1 Example Plan with annotated comments / redlines to the Engineer-of-Record design
  • Recommended next steps for GC and MEP trade

 

HVAC Coordination & Conflict-Free Planning - BIM based

We transform HVAC design intent into a fully coordinated, installation-ready system — protecting your project from costly field conflicts, change orders, and schedule disruption.

Through structured BIM coordination and disciplined clash resolution, we eliminate uncertainty before installation begins.
BIM is not the product. Budget and schedule stability are.

What's included:

  • All from HVAC Implementation Planning
  • BIM model integration
  • 3D coordination of HVAC
  • Clash detection & documented resolution to prevent field rework
  • Ceiling-space coordination & height management
  • Detailed routing aligned with ceiling constraints and trade priorities to avoid field modifications
  • Consolidated model updates (weekly or milestone-based)
  • Support for Submittals & Shop Drawings
  • Coordintation decisions documented to support cost clarity and procurement alignment
  • Issue management via ACC/Revizto (optional)

Result:

  • Resolved clashes before field installation
  • Minimized likelihood of change orders caused by coordination gaps
  • Increased cost predictability and installation efficiency
  • Budget & Schedule stability for GC

Deliverables:

  • Coordinated 3D HVAC model integrated wtih MEP
  • 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

 

HVAC Design Assist - Early Risk & Performance Control - BIM based

We intervene early in the design phase to prevent HVAC decisions that later create cost overruns, coordination conflicts, or performance issues.

Working alongside the Engineer of Record, we validate system strategy, space requirements, and constructability before design assumptions become contractual constraints.

This reduces redesign cycles and technical uncertainty before construction.

What's included:

  • All from HVAC Implementation Planning and HVAC Coodinatino Packages
  • Early HVAC system strategy review and type evaluation (VRF, RTU, AHU strategy)
  • 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)
  • Clear decision points for GC & EOR
  • Early coordination with other trades (MEP)
  • BIM workflows based Budget-impact
  • Implementation-level for HVAC
  • Planning and system integrator with German knowhow
  • Bridge the gap between planning permission and construction reality

Result:

  • Reduced likelihood of major HVAC redesign during construction
  • Increased confidence in system performance and space feasibility
  • Early alignment between GC, Engineer and MEP trades
  • A validated HVAC system strategy ready for execution planning

Deliverables:

  • Design Assist Reports with system insights & recommendations
  • Early coordination model, HVAC integrated with other Trades
  • Coordination workshops & meetings
  • Meeting notes & issue tracking
  • A ready-made package for execution
  • Optional ACC or Revizto project setup + coordination structure

What Makes Us Different

Why GC's Choose AGE Design & Build

Collaboration is KEY

AGE Design & Build provides Implementation-level HVAC 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 HVAC understanding and real-world constructability!

Our Role in the Building Process

We operate at the critical interface between design and construction – translating design intent into buildable, coordinated systems and ready for execution - not just BIM

Project Types We Focus On

We focus exclusively on repeatable, HVAC driven commercial projects:

Medical Office/Buildings

High code requirements, critical HVAC zoning and zero tolerance for coordination errors.

Offices

Tight ceiling spaces, dense HVAC coordination and schedule-driven tenant improvements.

Mixed-Use

Conflicting use requirements, interface risk between office and retail and complex system coordination

By staying within these project types, we reduce coordination risk, improve constructability and deliver predictable outcomes for our partners

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!
