Problem
MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) contractors often face challenges in coordinating design, fabrication, and project management, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and increased costs. Traditional paper-based workflows and fragmented communication channels hinder real-time collaboration between VDC (Virtual Design and Construction), shop, and field teams.
Solution
Stratus offers a cloud-based platform that integrates design, fabrication, and project management to streamline MEP workflows. The platform facilitates real-time collaboration and communication between VDC, shop, and field teams, eliminating paper-based processes and reducing manual errors. By converting BIM data into fabricatable spools and MAJ files, Stratus optimizes the assembly process and ensures alignment between design, fabrication, and installation phases. The platform's open API enables data-driven decision-making by feeding data to dashboards, ERP systems, and other business intelligence platforms.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes MEP contractors, VDC teams, and project managers seeking to streamline workflows, reduce waste, and improve collaboration across design, fabrication, and installation phases.
