Project Overview
Client Profile
Stoddert Public School
Industry
Educational
Deliverables
Mechanical piping and plumbing design, clash detection coordination, shop drawings. VDC management.
Business Needs
The Stoddert Elementary School East Building project required efficient integration of mechanical piping and plumbing systems within the broader scope of the building’s expansion. The project also demanded precise MEP coordination for educational facilities ensuring potential for future facility upgrades.
The Key objectives involved:
- Seamless integration of MEP systems for smooth construction and minimal rework.
- Optimization of space to accommodate mechanical systems without compromising functionality.
- Future-proofing plumbing and piping systems for long-term adaptability.
- Maintaining project schedule and budget through efficient system coordination and clash detection.
Challenges
Tejjy faced several challenges in the execution of this project, each of which required precise planning and coordination:
- The tight project timeline meant that any delays in the coordination of mechanical systems would directly affect the overall project schedule, pushing back construction milestones.
- Coordinating mechanical piping and plumbing with other building systems, including HVAC and electrical, was challenging due to spatial constraints and the need to integrate within the existing structure. It demanded careful planning.
- Designing plumbing and mechanical systems to be flexible and adaptable for future changes without disrupting the building’s overall functionality added another layer of complexity to the planning and implementation.
- The project had to meet local building codes and regulations for both plumbing and mechanical systems. This required ongoing collaboration with inspectors to ensure compliance without compromising on design integrity.

Our Solutions & Approach
Tejjy approached the challenges that came with the Stoddert Elementary School East Building project with a combination of advanced BIM tools, efficient project management, and expert VDC leadership.
- Tejjy Inc. created detailed mechanical system BIM models using Autodesk Revit 2022, enabling smooth integration with the overall building design. The accurate 3D visualizations allowed for efficient MEP (HVAC, mechanical, plumbing systems) coordination.
- Navisworks was used to conduct thorough MEP clash detection, identifying and resolving conflicts in the virtual environment before construction began. This proactive approach helped reduce onsite issues and avoid costly delays.
- Procore facilitated real-time collaboration among project teams, ensuring that everyone was aligned on progress, timelines, and documentation. Our centralized communication system kept the workflow smooth and decision-making efficient.
- As the VDC lead, Tejjy Inc. ensured all systems were thoroughly coordinated in the virtual environment. It helped prevent conflicts during construction and provided flexibility for future modifications without disrupting the overall building design.

Has Tejjy facilitated 3D LiDAR scanning for Educational Institute?
Yes, Tejjy Inc. has indeed facilitated 3D LiDAR scanning for educational institutes as part of their 3D Laser Scanning and Scan-to-BIM services.
Here are some notable examples:
-
Beach Elementary School, Chesapeake Beach, MD — Tejjy delivered LOD 350 BIM modeling for this nearly 10‑acre campus, including electrical modeling and fabrication shop drawings. They offered BIM and 3D Laser Scanning services for an educational project of 74,000 sq ft.
-
Great Valley Grade Centre, Malvern, PA — Tejjy is engaged in modeling mechanical ducting, piping, and coordinating BIM (including clash detection) for this state-of-the-art educational facility. This project also includes BIM and 3D Laser Scanning services.
Furthermore, Tejjy’s 3D LiDAR scanning capabilities are highlighted across various sectors—including educational and institutional buildings:
-
Their 3D scanning services cover architectural, civil, and infrastructure projects such as schools, colleges, and universities, and they emphasize the inclusion of scanning for educational institutes alongside other facility types.
Can Tejjy’s MEP services help meet local code and safety standards?
Yes. All MEP designs in Washington, DC are aligned with construction codes and educational building safety regulations. We ensure full compliance while maximizing efficiency and sustainability.
