How BIM is Transforming Drafting

In construction projects, the choice between AutoCAD and Revit can shape the way MEP systems are designed, coordinated, and delivered. While both are powerful, they serve different roles in today’s BIM-driven industry.


AutoCAD in MEP

    AutoCAD has long been the standard tool for 2D drafting.

  • Precise detailing and documentation
  • Widely adopted and familiar
  • Best for small-scale or straightforward projects

Revit in MEP

    Revit takes design to the next level with Building Information Modeling (BIM).

  • 3D modeling for better visualization
  • Occupancy levels
  • Clash detection and coordination
  • Data-rich models for facility management

Which One to Choose?

For simple drafting, AutoCAD remains reliable. For complex projects requiring coordination, Revit offers unmatched advantages. The future of MEP design is clearly moving toward BIM.
