dc.description.abstract The challenge in coordination of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems is a common problem peculiar to the MEP industry. Although the traditional Two-Dimensional Computer Aided Design (2D CAD) has been used in the industry to resolve the problem of coordination, it has not been effective. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework for Building Information Modelling (BIM) that can be implemented in the MEP Industry. This will facilitate a seamless transition to BIM and solve the MEP coordination problem of the traditional 2D CAD project delivery approach. The conceptual framework was developed and refined through an extensive review of the literature concerning BIM. The framework developed is a model based collaboration framework that will allow MEP firms to collaborate to produce the coordinated construction model during the MEP coordination process. The framework has the potential to be used as a practical methodology for guiding the MEP firms that intend to implement BIM. en_US
