About MEP Drawings
MEP drawings, short for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing drawings, are essential in the construction and building design process. These drawings detail the layout of mechanical systems (such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), electrical systems, and plumbing systems within a building. Mechanical drawings show the layout of HVAC systems, including ductwork, vents, and equipment placement. Electrical drawings illustrate the placement of electrical outlets, lighting fixtures, switches, and wiring diagrams. Plumbing drawings depict the layout of pipes, fixtures, and equipment for water supply, drainage, and sewage systems. MEP drawings are typically created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. They are crucial for coordinating the various systems within a building and ensuring they are installed correctly. MEP drawings help contractors understand the spatial requirements for each system, identify potential clashes or conflicts between systems, and estimate materials and costs accurately. In summary, MEP drawings are detailed diagrams that show the layout of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within a building. They are essential for the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings, ensuring that these systems function efficiently and effectively.

Tutors & Services Philosophy
Don't Learn Alone
Professionals these days are sitting alone and staring at their computers. They spend years searching online for tools that will increase their workplace efficiency—digging through forums and watching lengthy videos for the right CAD or visualization tip.
Sometimes they just have one small question that would take a person two minutes to answer, but customer support lines are a thing of the past. Big companies will direct you to an FAQ that will hardly begin to answer your question.
Bring Back the Human Connection
We strive to bring human connection back to the work environment. Our tutors work directly with you to solve your problems, similar to the way an apprentice works hand-in-hand with a skilled professional.
Screen-share technologies like Zoom have allowed us to work together in real time. We can see each others' screens and cursors, switch presenters to share information easily, and even turn on webcams for a more human interaction. Learn efficiently across workflows like architectural rendering, interiors, mechanical modeling, and construction documentation.
Tutors, Services, or Both
Sometimes our clients want to learn a program from beginning to end; sometimes they completely hand over the services to us; and other times, they want something in between.
Some clients want to be able to use the program on a basic level and let us do the hard stuff. Others want to co-work with us, supervising our work to ensure their artistic vision is realized. Along the way, they learn the tools—whether that’s SketchUp, Blender, Fusion 360, Revit, or AutoCAD.
By the end of the process, some clients are able to wean themselves completely off of our services and are empowered to do the work themselves. If they get stuck or behind on a deadline, they use us as a lifeline. They can call anytime—even if it’s just a 10-minute question—we are here to help.
