What We Do

The right mechanical design changes everything about how a project gets built.

Every service INFORM offers exists for one reason — so you walk into construction with answers, not questions.

All INFORM services are delivered in Revit BIM. Every design, drawing, and coordination model is built in Revit — not CAD, not hand-drafted. This means full 3D coordination, clash detection, and drawings that integrate directly with your architectural and structural models.

01 — Primary Service

Mechanical Design

No surprises. No change orders. No clashes.

This is the full service — and the one most architects come to INFORM for. We start with heat and cool load calculations, room by room, which tell us exactly what the building needs to perform. From there we design the systems, coordinate with your structural and architectural documents in Revit BIM simultaneously, and produce a drawing set your contractor can actually build from. What the project requires determines what's included.

May include
  • Heat and cool load calculations — Manual J (USA) and F280 (Canada)
  • Ventilation design plan
  • Plumbing design plan
  • Range hood and makeup air design
  • Hydronic systems — radiant floor, boiler, snow melt
  • Building controls schematics
  • Fully coordinated Revit BIM model
  • Complete drawing set — drawings, details, specifications, equipment documentation

02 — Construction Support

Construction Administration

Someone in your corner who speaks mechanical fluently.

Most builders are exceptional at what they do — and mechanical systems aren't always their strongest ground. When INFORM is involved through construction, you have someone who can communicate clearly with the mechanical contractor, settle questions before they become delays, and make sure what was designed is what gets built. We've been on those job sites. We know what good looks like — and we have your back until the project is done.

Includes
  • Mechanical contractor communication and coordination
  • Site question response
  • Quality control review
  • Shop drawing review
  • Available to builders, architects, and owner-builders
Available as standalone or add-on
03 — Entry Point

Heat Load & Direction Session

A clear starting point for projects that don't need the full service.

For owner-builders and one-off projects, a heat load calculation paired with a review meeting gives you exactly what you need — performance data, honest equipment recommendations, and a clear direction forward. We walk through the options with you, explain the tradeoffs, and guide you toward what makes sense for the building. No agenda. No brand loyalties.

Includes
  • Heat and cool load calculation — Manual J or F280
  • Room-by-room analysis
  • One review meeting
  • Equipment options with honest guidance
  • Ideal for owner-builder and smaller scope projects

04 — BIM Modelling

Mechanical BIM Modelling

Your mechanical drawings, built into a fully coordinated Revit model.

Already have your mechanical design sorted — whether from CAD drawings, sketches, or an existing set? We'll build it into a fully coordinated Revit BIM model. Clean, accurate, and ready for coordination with your architectural and structural models. No redesign required. Just the modelling expertise to get it done right.

Includes
  • Mechanical systems modelled in Revit BIM
  • Works from CAD drawings, sketches, or existing sets
  • Clash detection ready
  • Integrates with architectural and structural Revit models
  • Clean, coordinated, contractor-ready output
