What’s the best software for creating detailed MEP shop drawings that align with construction drawings in complex commercial projects?

[sarahmerget]

Honestly, for detailed MEP shop drawings, Revit has been a game changer for us. The parametric modeling and coordination tools really help in aligning the MEP CAD drawings with the actual construction documents. We also use Navisworks for clash detection—it integrates seamlessly with Revit. For purely 2D work, AutoCAD MEP is still reliable, but for complex commercial builds, BIM workflows are hard to beat. Some firms also integrate BIM 360 for version control and cloud-based collaboration, which keeps everyone aligned across disciplines. Have you tried combining Revit and BIM 360 yet?
