AJ Design Group

Hydraulic & plumbing BIM · Auckland, NZ

Prepared for Aotea Plumbing & Drainage

The BIM & design team
behind Aotea.

Picking it back up from October, Mark. Here is where AJD has got to, and what we would bring to Aotea as you grow into the bigger work.

The problem

Growing into bigger work hits the same wall: BIM and documentation.

01

Spikes

The wins land faster than you can hire modellers and drafters. The work arrives in waves, never a steady line.

02

Consistency

Every job, every branch documents a little differently. The packages going out under the Aotea name should not show it.

03

Programme risk

Shop drawings and coordination sit on the critical path of someone else's build. Late drawings cost far more than the modelling does.

04

The fix isn't a hire

A BIM and design team you switch on and off beats a permanent seat you have to keep busy between jobs.

The offer

Your BIM & design team. On tap.

A full team behind Aotea, without putting one on the payroll. Plug us in as the jobs land, scale back when they pass.

Plug us in

A full hydraulic BIM and design team behind Aotea, ready to model, draw and coordinate from day one.

Scale up and down

Turn capacity up when the pipeline fills, down the moment it passes. You carry no team between jobs.

Under your title block

White-label, on your templates and standards, so packages come back ready to issue under the Aotea name.

No full-time hire We become Aotea's BIM team without the overhead between jobs.

01

Start with a job

Hand us one live package. See how the work comes back before you commit to more.

02

Under your name

Your templates, title block and standards. Drawings return coordinated and ready to issue.

03

Scale with the pipeline

Turn the team up when the workbook spikes, down when it settles.

04

Engineer-led

We make the coordination calls on site and in meetings. Design intent stays with your team.

How the work comes back

Clean, coordinated, on time.

We model and check off the model, so the things that usually bite on site get caught first. Tap any tile to watch it run.

Penetration set-out demo
Penetration set-out
Pipe penetrations

Sleeve and penetration set-outs dimensioned straight from the model, so they are right before they reach site.

Clash detection demo
Clash detection
Clash-free models

Clashes surface in the federated model before the coordination meeting, not on site.

Quantity take-off demo
Quantities
Take-offs

Pipe lengths, fittings and fixture counts pulled straight from the model for pricing and procurement.

Set-out and dimensioning demo
Set-out
Automated dimensioning

Consistent set-out and dimensioning across the whole set, so every sheet reads the same.

Proof — live model

The standard your packages get.

A construction-level hydraulic model we delivered, live in your browser. Site crews scan a QR on the drawing and the model opens on the spot, no CAD seats.

How we work

Under your name. To your standards.

White-label production that behaves like Aotea's own drawing office, without the permanent seats. Your clients see Aotea, on time.

01

Your standards

Your templates, title block and file structure. Drawings come back ready to issue under the Aotea name.

02

Engineer-led coordination

We make routing and coordination calls in the meetings, not just push pixels.

03

Design stays yours

Design intent and engineering sign-off stay with your team. We carry the production load.

04

Your name looks good

Clean, coordinated packages on time. It is Aotea that looks good to its clients, not us.

Why it matters to you

On MPI and Mason Clinic, two large and demanding jobs, Southbase put this in writing:

“[AJ Design is] competent in understanding our BIM delivery standards and workflows.”

Sadique Anam · Southbase BIM Manager
You put us behind you, and it is your name on a clean, coordinated package, on time.

Why AJ Design Group

An engineering team behind your drawings — not a drafting shop.

01

Engineer-led

You work directly with the engineers who run the team, on the design calls, not just the drawings.

02

Built to deliver faster

We back our own people with in-house automation, so packages come back cleaner, faster and sharper on price.

03

All wet services

Sanitary, stormwater, water and gas under one roof, with fire when you need it, coordinated together.

04

NZ-based, NZ codes

Auckland-based, working alongside NZ teams, on NZ standards and timezones.

Let's talk

Let's pick it
back up, Mark.

Twenty minutes this week and I will show you where we would start, and how we would fit in behind Aotea.
