For mechanical contractors, moving from BIM modeling to prefab is often slowed down by manual tasks, disconnected workflows, and communication gaps. EVOLVE Mechanical closes those gaps by tying modeling, prefab, and shop management together in a single workflow...directly inside Revit. 

Here’s how it works: 

1. Intuitive Revit Modeling & Detailing (EVOLVE Mechanical + Electrical) 

EVOLVE adds rul-based automation directly inside Revit, automating tasks like hanger placement, sleeves, and spooling based on smart filters and utility tools. 

Designers can rapidly generate fabrication‑ready models with embedded metadata (e.g. manufacturers, specifications), clash detection, and accurate BIM data—all aligned with installation needs. 

2. Automated Spooling & Prefab Prep 

EVOLVE lets users select elements, assign spool IDs, and automatically produce complete prefab packages: 3D views, plans, elevations, spool continuation tags, and BOMs in minutes—reducing manual effort significantly. 

Built-in clash detection ensures spools are consistent and accurately modeled before fabrication. 

3. Seamless BIM‑to‑Fab Integration via EVOLVE Shop 

The “Revit to Work Request” feature ties EVOLVE Revit models directly to EVOLVE Shop—publishing spools, BOMs, cut lists, and docs instantly into the fabrication workflow, with no exporting, uploading, or PDF/email juggling. 

EVOLVE Shop then handles work requests and orders: tracks lifecycle statuses, generates Kanban boards, calendar views, integrates parts catalogs and automates status notifications—keeping all stakeholders aligned and informed. 

4. Real‑Time Coordination & Visibility 

EVOLVE ensures everyone—from VDC teams to shop managers—is working from the same model. That eliminates confusion and outdated data, avoiding rework and delays EVOLVE MEP Autodesk App Store. 

Shop managers get dashboards with key metrics (throughput, overdue orders, lead times) to proactively improve operations EVOLVE MEP. 

5. Implementation Support & Workflow Optimization (EVOLVE Elevate) 

EVOLVE provides tailored onboarding and strategy support through Elevate services—custom training, workflow diagnostics, rule setup, database standardization, and automation scripting to adapt the workflow to each firm’s way of working EVOLVE MEP. 

✅ The Result: EVOLVE Mechanical eliminates manual steps, reduces mistakes, and speeds up prefab turnaround. From design to fabrication to installation, teams gain a connected, real-time workflow that drives both efficiency and profitability.
