MEP documentation & BIM · Australia
Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and fire — DA concept through CC-stage construction sets, modelled in your Revit environment and drawn to Australian Standards. Every job starts by agreeing the setout: title block, layer standard, template, LOD. Nothing gets drawn until that is signed off.
Documented to
01 — Disciplines
Not a drafting bureau that traces what you send. We model the services, size them, and produce the sheets — then coordinate them against each other before you ever see a clash.
02 — Standards & compliance
Australian Standards and the National Construction Code are the basis of every set we issue. Certification is a separate thing, and it is not ours to give — so we say so here rather than leaving you to find out.
Who certifies the work
Aurevix produces documentation, models and calculations. We do not issue certification, compliance declarations or engineering sign-off, and we are not a registered certifier in any Australian jurisdiction. Every set we issue is prepared for your engineer of record to review, amend and certify — and we supply the models, calculations and design summary they need to do it efficiently.
We are arranging review arrangements with registered Australian engineers so that certification can be offered as part of a package. Until those are signed and we can name the jurisdictions they cover, we will not imply otherwise anywhere on this site.
03 — Process
The step most outsourcing goes wrong at is the third one. Agreeing the setout before anything is drawn is what stops a package arriving in the wrong template, on the wrong layers, at the wrong LOD.
04 — Deliverables
A package is not "the drawings". This is the whole contents list, and it is the same list that goes into your fixed quote.
These three sheets are illustrative — drawn for this page to show sheet composition, title block and discipline coding. They are not project work. Redacted sheets from live projects are available under NDA on request.
05 — Who you deal with
Offshore delivery usually means an account manager between you and the people drawing. It does not here — you talk to a partner, and the partners run the jobs.
35years
Partner — client delivery
Educated in Australia and the partner you will speak to first, on the phone or in person. Thirty-five years across large, complex building services jobs. Owns the brief, the setout sign-off and the programme.
15years
Partner — delivery
Fifteen years on large complex building services documentation. Runs production across the discipline models and holds the internal QA checklist that every set is signed against.
15years
Partner — engineering technologist
Assessed by Engineers Australia as an Engineering Technologist. Fifteen years on large complex jobs. Responsible for the technical basis of the sets — sizing, calculations and standards compliance.
06 — Time zone
Our studio runs on UTC+6 and Bangladesh observes no daylight saving, so the gap never shifts twice a year. That is four hours of live overlap with the east coast every afternoon, and six with Perth.
The practical version: you mark up a set at 4pm in Sydney. That is midday here and we still have most of a working day left. It is back in your inbox before you open it the next morning — not a day later.

07 — Sectors
We take work in any sector, but these four are where MEP density, redundancy and compliance actually decide whether a project documents cleanly — and where we are most useful.
CRAC and CRAH layouts with hot and cold aisle containment, N+1 and 2N distribution documented as such, busway and UPS reticulation, room-level power density schedules, gaseous and pre-action suppression coordination, and containment that survives a real cable schedule.
Medical gas reticulation to AS 2896, body-protected and cardiac-protected areas to AS/NZS 3003, essential and non-essential supply separation, pressure cascade and isolation room documentation, and theatre and imaging services coordination where the tolerances are unforgiving.
Base-build tie-in documented properly, condenser water and supplementary cooling, tenancy lighting and emergency to AS/NZS 2293, comms and DAS containment, NCC Section J for the fit-out scope, and make-good drawings that the landlord will actually accept.
Hydraulic risers and stacks that coordinate with the structure, apartment ventilation to AS 1668.2, metering and sub-metering layouts, car park ventilation and CO monitoring, fire services through repeating typical floors, and typical-unit documentation that stays typical.
08 — Commercial & data
Every model, drawing, family and calculation we produce for you is assigned to you outright on final payment. We keep no licence to reuse project-specific content, and nothing of yours appears in our portfolio without written permission.
We sign your NDA — we do not require you to sign ours first. Project information is shared only with the named people on your job, and never subcontracted outside our own studio.
Project files are held in access-controlled storage with named accounts and multi-factor authentication, backed up daily, and removed on request at project close. No client data is held on personal devices or personal cloud accounts.
Your project data is processed outside Australia, and we say so plainly. We handle personal information in line with Australian Privacy Principle 8, and we will tell you exactly where data sits and who can reach it before you send us anything.
Your fixed quote names the revision allowance. Comments arising from our own error are corrected at no cost and are not counted against it.
Programme dates are written into the quote. If we miss one for a reason that is ours, you are told before the date, not after it, and the fee is adjusted.
09 — Pricing
Hourly billing transfers your schedule risk onto your own budget. We price the scope, not the hours — and the number in your quote is the number on your invoice.
Defined drawing register
A fixed fee per sheet against a named register. Best when you know exactly which drawings you need and want to compare like for like.
Whole discipline, defined scope
One fee for a complete discipline set to an agreed stage. Best for a full CC-stage submission where the sheet count is ours to work out.
Ongoing capacity
A named modeller or documenter working only on your jobs, monthly. Best when the pipeline is continuous and you would otherwise be recruiting.
Move the sliders for an indicative range and turnaround, and see it against what the same sheets cost to produce in house.
Calculating…
Indicative only. It is arithmetic on sheet count, LOD and project type — it has not seen your drawings. The in-house comparison uses a fully loaded cost of $85–$125 per productive hour. Your actual fee is fixed in the written quote, within 24 hours of the brief.
