WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Learn how building services become a coordinated model
Start with Revit foundations, then work across HVAC, plumbing and fire protection. Design values come from the engineering inputs supplied for your project.
Revit foundations
Set up a model that a project team can use
Understand the project brief, linked references, model responsibilities and expected deliverables before you start modelling.
- Templates, levels, grids and linked CAD/Revit references
- Worksets, central/local models and worksharing awareness
- Families, parameters and MEP connectors
- Views, annotations, sheets, revisions and schedules
What you’ll practiseAn organised project model with reusable content and clear documentation.
HVAC modelling
Build connected HVAC systems
Model the equipment and routes defined in the supplied mechanical design, then check their relationships with the building.
- Mechanical equipment and air terminals
- Ducts, fittings, accessories and relevant piping
- System types, routing preferences and display filters
- Equipment connections and coordination interfaces
What you’ll practiseAn HVAC model with reviewed routing, system information and drawing views.
Plumbing modelling
Model the networks behind everyday building use
Develop the plumbing systems in your brief and review their levels, slopes and connections.
- Fixtures, pipe types and routing preferences
- Domestic water, drainage, vent and storm-water systems
- Insulation, accessories and system filters
- Schedules and coordinated plan or section views
What you’ll practiseA plumbing model and documentation checked against the supplied design.
Fire protection
Understand the layout and its interfaces
Use supplied fire protection drawings to model the specified components and approximate system geometry for your LOD 200 project.
- Sprinklers, pipe routes, risers and equipment placement
- System classification, naming and disconnect checks
- Wet/dry system and pump-room workflow topics
- Coordination with ceilings, structure and other services
What you’ll practiseA reviewed LOD 200 fire model with indicative drawings and schedules.
Revit 2027 & AI-assisted practice
Explore supported Autodesk Assistant workflows with faculty guidance, then check the model and documentation yourself. Tech Preview features depend on availability.
LEARN THROUGH PROJECTS
3+ projects to build your modelling confidence
Apply the same project process to each discipline: interpret inputs, set up, model, coordinate, document and correct. Coordination is included within all three projects.
0102PROJECT 02 · LOD 300
Plumbing BIM project
Develop the water supply, drainage, vent and storm-water scope in the brief.
- Check levels, slopes, routing and interfaces
- Submit the model, documentation and coordination records
03PROJECT 03 · LOD 200
Fire Protection BIM project
Develop approximate sprinkler layouts, pipe routes, risers and equipment placement.
- Review interfaces with supplied building and service models
- Submit indicative drawings, schedules and reviewed outputs
The batch brief confirms the building types, authorised US/UAE training datasets and element scope. Fire LOD 200 outputs are educational and indicative; they are not fabrication or installation quantities.
A WORKFLOW YOU CAN REPEAT
Find an issue and follow it through to a checked update
Use Navisworks Manage to combine your discipline model with supplied architecture, structure and other service references.
- 01
Combine
Export from Revit and assemble the coordination models.
- 02
Review
Run suitable clash tests and save useful viewpoints.
- 03
Correct
Explain the issue and make agreed changes in Revit.
- 04
Recheck
Refresh the model and verify the reviewed changes.
Cloud Collaboration & Document Management
Included introductory workflows cover BIM 360 / Autodesk Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs), document versions, markups, issues and project collaboration. Demonstrations use the available training access.
BEYOND SOFTWARE COMMANDS
Get ready to explain your work in an interview
Build a portfolio from reviewed models, drawings and coordination examples, with career preparation included in the main course.
Technical preparation
Practise with 80+ BIM interview questions and mock technical interviews.
CV and portfolio
Select approved work that makes your contribution easy to understand.
AEC communication
Practise explaining model decisions, issues and corrections in English.
Placement support
Get career guidance and assistance as you apply for relevant opportunities.
Placement support does not guarantee employment. Selection depends on your skills, qualifications and employer requirements.

Questions about your next step? Our team can help you choose the right starting point.
Do I need to know Revit before joining?+
Revit foundations are included. The course is intended for mechanical students, graduates, diploma holders and professionals developing building-services BIM skills.
Are all three projects LOD 300?+
HVAC and plumbing are LOD 300. Fire protection is LOD 200. Coordination is part of these three projects, not a separate fourth project.
Will I learn engineering design calculations?+
The main course teaches modelling from supplied engineering designs. Mechanical Design is available as a separate optional course.
Is an internship included?+
The course provides guided industry-based training projects with faculty review. An external site internship is not included.
Can I use the projects in my portfolio?+
Use approved training material and clearly describe your own contribution. Faculty review and corrections help you prepare work you can explain.
