AutoCAD MEP facilitated faster creation of 2D and 3D plans, precise measurements and accurate outcomes.Īlthough the industry had Computer-Aided Design ( CAD) software such as AutoCAD for architectural, structural and MEP designs, it required an upgrade.

CAD or Computer-Aided Design was introduced as a tool to create MEPF designs using computers. Digital technologies for planning and designing came into existence during the 1970s for MEP engineering. Later, with the introduction of computer-based systems for drafting, the job became easier, quicker and more accurate. The hand-drafted design brought in many errors and inefficiencies in the designs, due to which the execution team faced difficulties during installation. During the era of pen and paper drafting, it was very difficult to create designs for MEPF ( Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection) components of the building. However, MEP systems are also one of the most complex systems in terms of design.

It facilitates the smooth functioning of the building and makes it a better place to occupy. MEP ( mechanical, electrical and plumbing) engineering is one of the most important components of building construction.
