MEP Modeling and Design Software
MEP Modeling and Design Software
(OP)
We provide support services to the AEC industry and have been contacted by a local MEP firm to provide mechanical modeling help on a large project. They are requesting that we use CAD-MECH software which costs around $7.8k per seat. I can build the cost of the software into the bid but it would likely take up much of my profit.
What is the "leading" modeling and design software in the industry?
If I'm going to spend that kind of money on software I want to make sure it is somewhat universal.

Looks like you are in the dark. I say sub it out.

It is a fairly good software that allows 3-D modeling of the systems. It is a little lighter than I would prefer on the plumbing side, but the mechanical and electrical sides seem to be very good. With it we are able to coordinate piping, ductwork, structural and architecture for conflicts and tight spaces.
It is somewhat challenging to learn if all you have used are the 2-D design softwares, but once you get into it, it is pretty good.
