What We Do
PortBIM provides end-to-end MEP design and consulting, leveraging BIM-driven workflows to optimize mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire-protection systems. Rigorous engineering analyses (HVAC load, CFD, electrical studies) and LOD400-ready BIM coordination ensure performance and compliance. Our LEED-focused sustainability consulting, C# and Dynamo automation tools, QA/QC documentation, comprehensive commissioning, and continuous innovation deliver efficient solutions within budget.
MEP Design & Consulting
Our MEP design and consulting services encompass every phase of a project’s lifecycle, from initial feasibility and load calculations through to detailed system layouts and construction administration. Leveraging BIM-driven planning, we develop coordinated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire-protection designs that optimize space, performance, and sustainability targets. Early clash detection and parametric modeling ensure that every duct, conduit, and riser is accurately placed, minimizing on-site conflicts and accelerating project timelines.
Engineering Analysis & Optimization
Advanced engineering simulations form the backbone of our consulting practice. We perform HVAC load studies, electrical short-circuit and voltage-drop calculations, CFD analyses of airflow and smoke control, and fluid-dynamics modeling to fine-tune system performance under real-world conditions. Iterative optimization of equipment sizing, control strategies, and distribution topologies drives energy efficiency and lifecycle cost reductions, all while guaranteeing compliance with ASHRAE, IEC, NFPA, and local regulations.
BIM Strategy & Coordination
Our BIM consulting services begin with a comprehensive audit of existing workflows and data structures, evolving into a tailored roadmap for template deployment, model handoffs, and compliance checks. A $500 000 investment in electrical and mechanical libraries—maintained by 25+ experts and 300+ parametric families—underpins clash-free, LOD400-ready models. Federated model coordination, automated interference checks, and cloud-enabled review platforms keep all disciplines synchronized and drive error-free documentation.
Sustainable Building Consulting
Guided by LEED-accredited specialists, we integrate green-building standards (LEED, BREEAM, WELL, Estidama) into every design decision. Detailed energy and water audits, life-cycle carbon assessments, and GHG-emissions reporting identify high-impact sustainability strategies. From specifying energy-recovery ventilation systems to commissioning high-efficiency chillers and LED controls, our holistic approach secures credits, drives resource conservation, and enhances occupant comfort without sacrificing performance.
Automation & Custom Development
Our coding and automation expertise—rooted in C# plugin development and Dynamo scripting—eliminates repetitive tasks and enforces code compliance. We deliver over 100 robust Revit plug-ins and visual scripts that automate model generation, clash detection, data extraction, and custom parameter management. Prototypes in machine-learning-driven layout optimization and predictive maintenance further extend our toolkit, freeing teams to focus on strategic design and high-value engineering decisions.
Documentation & Quality Assurance
Producing clear, fully coordinated construction documents is central to our process. Automated workflows embed compliance checks into drawings, schedules, and specifications, while rigorous QA/QC audits—spanning model reviews, clash-free reports, and shop-drawing verification—ensure contractors receive unambiguous, error-free deliverables. Our internal quality-management standards align with ISO-level precision and local code requirements, safeguarding projects against costly rework.
Commissioning & Operational Support
Prior to occupancy, our CxA-certified team leads comprehensive commissioning: functional tests, system balancing, and calibration to confirm design intent. We document performance results, train facility staff, and deliver detailed O&M manuals. Post-occupancy, we offer measurement & verification programs, performance benchmarking, and re-commissioning services to maintain LEED performance, optimize energy use, and address evolving operational needs over the lifecycle.
Client Partnership & Continuous Innovation
Collaboration lies at the heart of our approach. From stakeholder workshops and regular progress reviews to post-project feedback loops, we ensure transparency and adaptability. Our commitment to continuous improvement drives regular updates to templates, libraries, and automation tools, informed by data analytics on clash resolution rates, delivery timelines, and user feedback. This iterative evolutio n cements our reputation for delivering resilient, cost-effective, and future-ready engineering solutions.
