Drafting

MPM directly employs full time draftsmen working within our head office. Using the very latest version of AutoCAD software, our drafting team produces high quality precise shop drawings coordinated with the building structure and service elements. Our drafting procedures are designed to produce an accurate representation of the proposed installation minimizing clashes and the associated costly re-work. By directly employing our drafting resources MPM can closely control the allocation of this resource allowing MPM to respond promptly to design changes and alterations, keeping the project on program. Our drawing software is augmented by state of the art drawing reproduction tools for rapid dissemination of information to clients, sub contractors, suppliers and site.

Integrated HVAC Software

Central to our project management structure is our integrated 3D HVAC Software. The program is deployed in all key areas of our contracting division including estimating, drafting, contracting, fabrication and installation. The software contains supplier and historical pricing data to produce the most accurate and competitive estimates providing value for the client. The data from a successful estimate can be transposed into the engineering review drawings and ultimately incorporated into our construction drawing file. This efficient process ensures the integrity of the design data is maintained throughout all revisions and saves time by eliminating duplication from engineering to drafting. All services and architectural drawings are incorporated into the 3D mechanical drafting model to highlight any potential clashes and eliminate them prior to fabrication and installation. This process reduces costly rework and site delays. The data from our construction drawing files is used for the fabrication of our duct work and fittings at our state of the art workshop in Maddington. Data is directly uploaded from the construction drawing file into the plasma cutter and insulation water jet cutting machine. This method eliminates the need for manual data entry resulting in a faster and more accurate manufacturing process. This system reduces waste by maximizing useable resources, decreases human error and hastens the delivery of duct to site. Onsite installation is aided via the use of our accurate drawings which have been fully co-ordinated with the architectural, structural and building services construction drawing files. 3D drawings assist in the installation of complicated multi-service systems by illustrating the integration using isometric projections. The MPM groups use of this integrated 3D HVAC software has resulted in more competitive estimates, co-ordinated services drawings, precise and efficient fabrication and rapid and accurate on-site installation. This system provides our client with better value and higher quality mechanical installations delivered on time.
