Building Services
Solutions for Efficient Infrastructure
Empowering Building Services Engineers Across the US
The demands on building services consultancies have expanded beyond traditional pipework, ductwork, and electrical layouts. Today, visualization, coordination, and clash detection are essential to project success.
As smart buildings rise, digitally captured asset data is driving condition-based monitoring and maintenance. Building services engineers are becoming the virtual backbone of modern buildings, and our consulting services are here to help you build the skills and knowledge needed to stay ahead.

Effective Application of Asset Data
COBie and Uniclass 2015 data are essential in many projects but can be overlooked or delayed. Since asset data is often a contractual requirement at key project stages, applying it progressively makes the process easier and less time-consuming.
Symetri offers tailored training and consulting to help you effectively manage and apply asset data throughout your projects.
Evolving Roles of Engineers and Technicians in Building Services
Traditionally, engineers designed systems while technicians translated those designs into CAD drawings. With BIM and Revit MEP, these roles are converging and engineers are adopting CAD skills, and technicians are gaining deeper engineering knowledge.
Today, digital collaboration is key to project success. Symetri offers the tools and expertise to unify your teams and maximize the benefits of digital engineering in building services.
2D Details vs. 3D Supports in Revit MEP
Choosing between 2D details and 3D components in Revit MEP impacts project goals and performance. While 2D details keep file sizes small and provide installation info, they can’t be quantified or used for clash detection.
3D supports enable coordination and clash resolution but may increase file size and affect performance. At Symetri, we help you create and use both methods, empowering you to choose the best approach for your project needs.
Design Applications & Interoperability
If you’re wondering how Revit MEP fits with your existing design tools, Symetri can help. We’ve worked with many consultancies and contractors to develop best practices and smooth workflows between Revit MEP and other design applications.
