Computer Aided Design

Building Services

From the familiarity and productivity of software based on AutoCAD but with added features for building services design to powerful MEP design within a building model and facilities to aid the transition to fabrication, computer aided design solutions can significantly improve productivity, accuracy and coordination for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering design and documentation.

Key software applications are based on AutoCAD MEP and Revit MEP Suite. Dedicated building services design solutions such as these provide numerous benefits (depending on the software used) including: Improved design processes from design to fabrication Better collaboration between design disciplines Features to support design for sustainability Greater productivity, quality and coordination, so reducing risk Integrated design, analysis and scheduling tools

Training Courses

Training (as well as an initial review of what training is appropriate and subsequent certification) is an essential element of the introduction of new design technology software and processes as well as a valuable way to develop staff, increase quality, reduce errors and improve productivity.As the UK's leading Autodesk Training Centre and ATC of the year you can rely on Excitech to deliver on the promise.

Appropriate Workstations Getting the best out of powerful application software needs appropriate workstations with the capacity and performance to keep up with your demands and the software requirements. Click the image to the right to see recommendations and visit our workstations page for details.
