# Best MEP Software

  *By [Daniel Rivera](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/daniel-rivera)*

   MEP software allows engineers, designers and contractors in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) fields to design building systems in their particular discipline. These solutions streamline the design, modeling, documentation, and construction of these systems and ensure they integrate seamlessly with the building its being placed into. MEP software enables users to conduct simulations, helping ensure their building systems do not cause any interference with the rest of the building.

MEP software is incredibly beneficial to any business involved in business construction. Every building requires some combination of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems within the structure. Utilizing MEP software will ensure users that everything within their building is running smoothly.

These solutions can typically integrate with [general-purpose CAD software](https://www.g2.com/categories/general-purpose-cad) to enhance the overall design and modeling process.

To qualify for inclusion in the MEP category, a product must:

- Provide the functionality to design mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems
- Offer clash detection early in the design process
- Offer reporting capabilities to help users make informed decisions in the construction process

## Buyer Guide

### What You Should Know About MEP Software

### What is MEP Software?

MEP software stands for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing software. MEP software is a subset of CAD software that is specifically designed for users in the mechanical, electrical, or plumbing fields to improve the overall design of their projects.

Key Benefits of MEP Software

- Speed up electrical, mechanical, and plumbing designs with modeling and drafting outputs
- Reduce errors by identifying problems within the visual design
- Streamline the engineering design process by using a single model
- Improve building element energy analysis and structural analytical modeling
- Project overall construction cost for particular models

### Why Use MEP Software?

When engineers are designing the infrastructure of a building, whether it’s related to heating and cooling or electrical circuitry, every calculation in the design must be met with precision. This is why mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design requires diligent planning and qualified engineering professionals. MEP software allows engineers to break down and visualize these complex designs so they can improve overall workflows and speed up the design of projects from start to finish. Key use cases include:

**Improved collaboration —** A major reason to use MEP software is to improve collaboration. With one design at the center of an engineering project, anyone on the team can jump into the design and help where needed. This allows everyone to monitor the progress of the design and conduct joint work so the entire workflow is streamlined.

**Better client communication —** Having a design in 3D software such as MEP offers a great visual aid for businesses to display to their clients. When a client enlists a group of engineers to create a design, they often need to communicate every detail of their needs. With these needs in mind, engineers can incorporate sustainability needs and commercial aspects that clients require within the design structure. After engineers finish the design within the 3D MEP software, it can easily be displayed to clients, and they can work together to solve problems by tinkering with it in the 3D design.

**Save time —** MEP software can save time by displaying whether location conflicts are detected within a design. If an engineer spends countless hours designing a structure on paper, they cannot identify how certain designs overlap with other parts of a building. With 3D MEP software, however, location conflicts are immediately detected and engineers can make quick changes. This concept can be applied to all aspects of engineering design, as 3D modeling within the software allows for immediate changes, saving users plenty of time.

### What are the Different Kinds of MEP Software?

**BIM MEP software —** BIM MEP software is a type of MEP software that falls under building information modeling. When engineers are designing a building, they must be aware of how each change in the building’s infrastructure will affect the energy efficiency of the building. MEP software for BIM enables engineers to see how each modification to the plumbing and electricity will affect the overall energy flow of the building. This allows engineers to focus on energy, solar study, and heating and cooling analysis in regards to the building they are designing.

**CAD MEP software —** General-purpose CAD allows users to draft mock-ups of 3D designs. With CAD MEP software, users can draft and design those 3D systems with specific tools for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. This allows engineers to design more effective systems.

### MEP Software Features

**Design feedback —** One of the most useful features of MEP software is design feedback. When engineers are manipulating the overall structure of a design, MEP software can notify them if there is a flaw in the critical flow of the mechanical system. This allows engineers to modify designs for maximum performance and efficiency.

**3D design —** 3D design features allow engineers to transform rudimentary 2D drawings into a three-dimensional visualized space. This helps engineers design piping and ductwork in 3D, which enhances the ability to visualize a final project and what it would look like when it is finally produced.

**HVAC design and documentation —** HVAC design and documentation allows engineers to design heating, ventilation, and air conditioning with mechanical design intent. Within a fully integrated environment, users can design all the calculations for heating and cooling systems, which allows engineers to design a more efficient system. HVAC features also provide a bill of materials and projected cost of the final design.

**MEP fabrication —** MEP fabrication features allow users to bend and mold steel and metal fabric to reach a desired state. This helps mechanical engineers design piping and ventilation systems that fit within the structure of a building. By being able to easily manipulate designs, engineers can save plenty of time and money by identifying the most effective ways to design piping systems.

**Project communication —** MEP software provides a variety of features that enhance communication between several engineers that are working on a project, as well as between engineers and their clients. Import and export features allow anyone to easily share their project design and import any designs to enhance the overall engineering design.

### Potential Issues with MEP Software

**Steep learning curve —** Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers work in a complicated field. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that MEP software comes with a steep learning curve. For users who have previously experimented with CAD software, it may be easier to adjust, but for users who have never dealt with complex 3D design, the learning process can take quite some time.

**High cost —** Many MEP software packages can run from $200 to $500 a month. For small businesses or individual users, this may prove to be a little pricey.

### Software and Services Related to MEP Software

[**General-purpose CAD**](https://www.g2.com/categories/general-purpose-cad) **—** General purpose CAD software help engineers create 2D technical drawings, mock-ups of conceptual designs, and 3D models of physical objects. CAD software can help engineers take MEP designs and render models so they can be actualized in a real environment. Since many MEP products integrate with a variety of CAD formats, engineers can transfer their designs from one software to the other in order to enhance the overall design of an engineering system.
