HVAC contractor AV Unibrak has showcased unprecedented design efficiency by integrating Trimble MEP’s Stabicad for Revit into its workflow. This collaboration underscores how advanced technology can transform mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design, benefiting contractors across the industry.
The Challenge
AV Unibrak, a leading player in HVAC solutions, faced challenges with outdated 2D workflows and the increasing complexity of modern MEP systems. Transitioning to more streamlined, accurate 3D modeling became imperative to remain competitive and ensure precision in their designs.
The Solution: Stabicad for Revit
By adopting Stabicad for Revit, AV Unibrak revolutionized their design process, achieving a threefold increase in efficiency. Stabicad integrates productivity tools, accurate MEP calculations, and UK-specific manufacturer content directly into Revit. This allows users to create constructible, highly detailed 3D models compliant with industry standards like CIBSE guidelines.
According to AV Unibrak’s Head of Design, Gabriel Asante-Boadu, Stabicad replaced multiple software tools, streamlining the workflow into one intuitive package. The real-time collaboration features, powered by Trimble Connect, further enhanced team coordination, reducing bottlenecks and delays across projects.
Impressive Results
The benefits of Stabicad extend beyond speed. With its robust calculation tools and precise modeling capabilities, AV Unibrak now delivers higher-quality designs while minimizing errors. The software also automates complex calculations for duct sizing, system pressures, and other key metrics, enabling rapid adjustments when necessary. This has been a game-changer for large-scale, intricate HVAC projects.
Jamie McCann, Managing Director of AV Unibrak, noted, “Stabicad has completely changed our workflow. It has tripled our speed while improving model accuracy.”
