Miguel Ortiz

I am a mechanical/HVAC BIM and VDC professional with 26 years experience. I've been in this field of work since i was 16 years old. It's a family trade. I have a strong mix of technical design, coordination, and estimating expertise.

For a living, I model, coordinate, and document HVAC and mechanical systems to make sure they’re buildable, code-compliant, and cost-effective—bridging the gap between engineering, fabrication, and the field.

Services I provide

HVAC BIM & VDC coordination (Revit, AutoCAD, FabricationCAD)

Shop drawings & fabrication drawings (SMACNA-compliant)

Clash detection & coordination with fire protection, mechanical pipes, structure, electrical, plumbing, ceilings, and lighting

Constructability reviews & field-accurate layouts to reduce RFIs and rework

Mechanical estimating & takeoffs (material, labor, scope of work, etc…)

As-built drawings & redlines

Consulting support for contractors, GCs, and fabrication shops

I worked as a BIM Coordinator, VDC/Project Manager, Head Estimator, and HVAC Project Manager, supporting projects from early coordination through fabrication and installation. My background combines advanced drafting and 3D modeling, deep knowledge of SMACNA standards and building codes, and real-world field awareness—allowing myself to produce shop drawings and models that are accurate, buildable, and cost-efficient

I have developed strong technical training in:

HVAC system design and layout

Mechanical drafting and detailing

Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Revit, AutoCAD, and FabricationCAD

SMACNA standards, construction documents, and code compliance

Constructability, coordination, and fabrication processes
