Graphisoft announces expansion of MEP Designer rollout
MEP Designer enables seamless BIM collaboration between architects and MEP engineers
BUDAPEST, March 26, 2026 — Graphisoft, the leading developer of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solutions for architecture and multidisciplinary design, today announced the expansion of its rollout of MEP Designer, a BIM-native solution that enables engineers to create accurate system layouts.
First introduced in October 2025, MEP Designer bridges the gap between traditional CAD methods and advanced BIM workflows by enabling engineers to model, coordinate, and document building systems. Available as a subscription-based product included in the MEP Designer Studio and Archicad Collaborate plans, MEP Designer is a unique and innovative BIM solution for MEP engineering that is:
- built on the Archicad BIM core, the industry-leading platform for architects, delivering seamless, collaborative BIM workflows between architects and MEP engineers.
- easy to learn and use, with an intuitive user interface and smart modeling tools that automate and simplify the MEP design process.
- flexible and adaptable, allowing MEP engineers not just quick creation, but easy editing of their MEP models.
“MEP Designer makes BIM adoption seamless for MEP engineers, delivering an intuitive, fully integrated solution,” said Márton Kiss, Chief Product Officer at Graphisoft. “It simplifies design workflows, strengthens collaboration with architects, and increases efficiency through intelligent automation and parametric libraries—making BIM easy to adopt while remaining powerful enough for highly detailed work.”
Key capabilities include:
- Detailed documentation generated automatically — from floor plans and sections to schedules and parts lists — customizable and ready for submission.
- Built-in visualization tools and parametric libraries.
- Smooth communications and model consistency — on-site or remotely.
- Accurate planning and efficient coordination — CALHYDRA now connects to MEP Designer via a dedicated interface, enabling direct transfer of water and HVAC systems for hydraulic calculations; results are updated in the model for a seamless BIM-based workflow.
MEP Designer is currently available in select Asian and European markets on both Windows and macOS.
