HVAC Drafting & Detailing
Coordinated HVAC documentation for volume home construction.
Effective HVAC delivery starts with clear, accurate documentation that integrates with the residential design and construction requirements.
What We Deliver
We provide HVAC drafting, modelling and detailing support aligned with project documentation and engineering requirements, helping coordinate HVAC systems with architectural and other building information before construction and installation.
01
Heatload Calculation
Heat load calculations prepared to size HVAC systems accurately for each home and climate zone.
02
HVAC layouts
HVAC layouts coordinated with the architectural plan, showing equipment and ductwork placement across every level.
03
Ductwork detailing
Ductwork detailed and sized to support efficient installation and reliable system performance.
04
Equipment layouts
Equipment layouts that show placement, clearances and connections needed for a clean, buildable installation.
05
Coordination drawings
Coordination drawings that resolve clashes between HVAC, structural and architectural documentation before they reach site.
06
BIM modelling
BIM models built to support coordination, clash detection and accurate documentation across trades.
07
Drawing amendments and revisions
Fast, accurate turnaround on drawing amendments and revisions as designs and specifications change.
08
Installation documentation
Installation documentation that gives your install teams a clear, accurate reference on site.
How It Supports Your Business
Increase HVAC drafting capacity, improve coordination with architectural and technical documentation, and help identify potential installation issues earlier in the delivery process.
Increase Drafting Capacity
Scale HVAC drafting capacity to meet project timelines without expanding in-house resources.
Improve Documentation Coordination
Improve coordination between HVAC, architectural, and other technical documentation across the project.
Identify Issues Earlier
Help identify potential installation issues earlier in the delivery process, before they reach site.
Software We Work In
We work within the software and platforms already used across architecture and engineering practice, adapting to the tools your team relies on.
Plandroid
Plandroid is HVAC drafting software used to design ductwork layouts, calculate heat loads, and produce coordinated mechanical drawings for residential and commercial projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
We work within the HVAC drafting software and residential design standards your business uses, coordinating layouts against the architectural documentation for the home.
Duct and equipment layouts are checked against the architectural and structural documentation before issue, to catch coordination clashes before they reach site rather than during installation.
Turnaround depends on the scope and complexity of the work. We agree a timeline as part of scoping, once we understand what’s involved, so you know what to expect before anything starts.
Built Around the Way You Work
Whether you need support for a specific project, additional capability during periods of high demand or a dedicated team working as an extension of your business, Realcognita can tailor its support around your existing systems, standards and workflows.
