Key Services and Solutions

ENGworks Estimation, Fabrication Databases, and specialized Services.

BIM for Prefabrication and Fabrication

Preparing a building component or assembly for fabrication is time-consuming and complex. BIM facilitates various design and construction activities, including digital fabrication and installation drawings. It enables digital design-to-fabrication workflows for all building disciplines. ENGworks Global prides itself on a comprehensive fabrication database developed over 10 years, allowing for detailed spool drawings used in pre-fabrication. We can also use customer-specific databases to generate spool and installation drawings. Our fabrication team has extensive experience producing accurate shop and fabrication drawings across multiple trades, including Structural, MEP, and Civil. They are proficient in using Fabrication CADmep and Revit to develop thorough constructible plans.

Design Assist

ENGworks Global/D&D Engineering is a forward-thinking, full-service consulting engineering firm specializing in innovative MEP design, energy management, and conservation solutions. Our goal is to improve the built environment with high-performance designs that balance environmental and user concerns, constructability, schedule, and budget through thoughtful, integrated engineering solutions. ENGworks Global has consistently invested in technology, leading the MEP community in adopting CAD, 3D, and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Integration is crucial not only in engineering processes but also in fostering relationships among all stakeholders throughout a building's design, construction, use, and maintenance. The best way to achieve optimal solutions is through close collaboration, early design decision-making, and process integration.

Building Conflict Reporting / Clash Detection

Once the BIM Models for all disciplines are created, ENGworks Global performs Clash Detection and generates customized Building Conflict Reports (BCR). Our staff collaborates with architects, engineers, general contractors, and trades to resolve design conflicts before construction begins.

We use Autodesk® Navisworks Manage® Software and other platforms for precise collision detection and clash reports. Multiple CAD/BIM platforms can be imported into a single, lightweight file. Each BCR is uploaded by trade for all parties to see, issues are documented, and project schedules updated. We also provide hardware and software for turnkey solutions.

Key benefits include:

Increased transparency in design decisions
Reduced construction costs by identifying and correcting clashes early
Higher chances of winning project bids with thoughtful design visualization
Fewer change orders, reducing administrative expenses and processing time
More off-site fabrication, improving yard management activities.

DfMA

Design for Manufacturing and Assembly benefits the General Contractor/Owner by increasing field productivity and reducing schedule and cost. ENGworks teams coordinate the MEP trades within the EOR design models during the design phase. We replace duct and pipe components with accurate Revit fittings, add insulation and pitch systems, and ensure systems are clash-free, including hangers and equipment access. This process identifies and resolves issues early, confirms ceiling elevations, and generates deck penetration layouts. Multi-trade racking enhances efficiency during prefabrication and field activities.
