Coordinated engineering services

Engineering designed for installability.

IBE provides HVAC design, plumbing design, BIM coordination, and Revit-native workflows built around one goal: making projects easier to coordinate, easier to build, and easier to revise in the field.

Design Tiers

Our design tiers define how far HVAC and plumbing coordination is taken. IBE owns the design throughout.

Selecting a tier early matters: model setup and coordination depth vary, and late changes often require rework.

Explore the scope of each tier.

Permit Set

HVAC and plumbing design developed for regulatory approval and permitting, including preliminary system selection, sizing, and layout development.

Systems are coordinated in 3D around architecture and structure to confirm feasibility and reserve space. Coordination focuses on major spatial conflicts rather than final routing.

Construction-phase coordination is led by the contractor and trade partners. IBE support focuses on compatibility with the original design intent.

Field-driven coordination redesign, fabrication modeling, detailed trade coordination, and prefabrication support are outside this tier.

For Construction Set

HVAC and plumbing design advanced into detailed construction documents, including finalized system selection, refined sizing, layouts, and installation details.

Systems are coordinated in 3D with architecture, structure, and other major trades. Major conflicts are addressed during design and routing is largely established.

Some field coordination remains. Contractors and trade partners handle final adjustments, minor offsets, and installation-driven changes.

IBE support focuses on maintaining design intent and constructability. Full fabrication-level coordination is outside this tier.

Fully Coordinated Set

Comprehensive 3D coordination of HVAC and plumbing with architecture, structure, and applicable trades, with routing, elevations, and system interfaces developed in the model.

The intent is to resolve known conflicts before construction and reduce RFIs and field rework. Coordination depth depends on the agreed scope and trade participation.

As field conditions change, IBE remains involved in evaluating conditions, updating models when required, and supporting issue resolution.

This tier suits projects planning for prefabrication, tight schedules, or a higher level of coordination before installation.

Coordination-first

Built around reducing friction in the field.

Every workflow is designed to reduce clashes, revisions, RFIs, install confusion, and coordination breakdowns before crews ever arrive onsite.

Revit-native

Connected models and coordinated deliverables.

We structure models, layouts, exports, and coordination sets around real-world workflows used by engineers, contractors, and coordination teams.

Field-oriented

Focused on constructability and installability.

We optimize for sequencing, installation practicality, fabrication coordination, and reducing downstream field conflicts.

Built in-house

We build the software behind the work.

IBE develops its own custom software — design and extraction workflows, Revit automation, reality capture, and coordination tooling — built to streamline the repetitive parts of real engineering projects.

That technology stays under the hood of every engagement: faster plan sets, cleaner models, fewer redraws — with engineering judgment always in front of it.

Select tools are in private beta with partner teams. Ask us about early access.

Engineering philosophy

Well-coordinated projects create measurable field value.

IBE primarily works through fixed-fee coordination and engineering workflows focused on reducing friction during installation and construction.

Our philosophy is simple: coordinated documentation and constructability-focused workflows should improve field execution substantially more than the coordination cost itself.

Better documentation, better coordination, and better constructability planning reduce downstream revisions, confusion, delays, and install inefficiencies across the project lifecycle.

Coordinated workflows. Better projects in the field.
