The document discusses MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) design using an extended metaphor comparing it to a band making music. It states that accurate MEP modeling is like the precision required to play guitar frets. It emphasizes that different guidelines are needed for different types of MEP design, just as different guitars and instruments are used for different music styles. Finally, it stresses collaboration is essential in MEP design, just as different musicians coming together is needed to make music as a band.

2. If construction process would
be a music…
The Meaning of Collaboration

3. Accuracity of MEP design
The neck of the guitar is about 630mm long, chords are
generated when fingers have ~20mm accuracity at frets
MEP designer has to do modeling with same accuracity for having
networks installed in to the building according the design

4. Guidelines and Requirements
You have to know, how to play guitar – there are many different guidelines
With different guidelines, you play different music

5. Understanding differencies within softwares
There are different guitars for different songs
With one guitar you cannot play all styles of music

6. Combied models
In the Band, you need more than guitar
Rock -music cannot be played without other instruments

11. The Role of General Contractor is Significant
Roaders are essential – without a good stagemanager you cannot have
timetables, audio or lighting etc. working
Roaders are making enviroment for the clients

12. Bim to Facility Management
For continuous success, band should do albums between ~1-2 years.
The format of recordings varies from c-tape to blue-ray

13. The End User
Within a journey, you need to remember why music is done
It’s for getting new enjoyments and feelings.
The end user should be happy about results
