Building Services Engineering

Engineering Base is ideal for developing building services thanks to its powerful, interdisciplinary data model that enables seamless integration of multiple disciplines. Besides allowing electrical installations to be planned efficiently at every level, automation solutions can also be implemented using the cooperation platform. Engineering Base offers ingenious solutions for HVAC planning as well.

Every object in the software can be directly associated with its counterpart in the Building Information Model (BIM). This link produces a consistent and integrated database that gives all project participants a clear overview and allows them to work together smoothly. The link between Engineering Base and the BIM benefits planners and engineers alike – from the initial project outline right through to final implementation. The cooperation platform thus lays the foundation for innovative and future-proof buildings.

Revit is an important tool for many architects, building services engineers and structural engineers. AUCOTEC has developed the Revit Plant Connector to integrate Engineering Base seamlessly into the Revit-supported planning process. It enables automated and bidirectional data exchange between the two worlds. The direct connection speeds up the planning process significantly, improves data consistency and enhances documentation quality. And when changes are transferred automatically, potential sources of error disappear from the picture.

The integrated engineering – from the flow diagram through the 3D model to the BOM with material numbers relayed back to the PLM/ERP – closes the data loop and creates synergies; quotes can be submitted faster and with greater reliability.
