Proactive vs. Reactive Project Management

How Coordination Drawings Help You Lead the Way

Saving money, making more profit, and completing projects smoothly, with fewer headaches are goals everyone can agree on.

But say things like “improved efficiency,” and “proactive project management,” and suddenly it sounds like too much effort to change.

At ZEN M.E.P., we understand how easily putting out fires can become a way of life, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Embracing Proactive Project Management can be a game changer for your customers, employees, suppliers, and your bottom line.

In the field is where we see clearly how Information Modeling and Coordination Drawings can improve all M.E.P. installations.

B.I.M. and Coordination Drawings

B.I.M. is simply the “virtual construction” of a building before the foundation is dug. Using modern software, B.I.M. considers time and cost in an integral way with design.

By using Building Information Modeling techniques, ZEN M.E.P is able to provide coordination drawings that make the life of every Project Manager, Superintendent, and Foreman far easier.

Our detailed and precise coordination drawings eliminate conflict between contractors and develop an installation plan that is objectively best for the project as a whole - while saving you time, money, and waste.
