“Stabiplan provides a core competency in CAD/CAE and BIM design software and content for MEP contractors and engineers to augment Trimble’s current portfolio of solutions for the European MEP contractor,” said Gijs Willem Sloof, CEO of Stabiplan. “The Stabiplan portfolio complements our existing products for the European MEP market, including Trimble Plancal nova and Trimble Amtech ProDesign, to provide European contractors with a robust set of design tools from a single source.” “Stabiplan’s strength lies in its ability to offer localised construction software applications and provide users with intuitive work processes for optimal efficiency and productivity in the office,” said Lawrence Smith, general manager of Trimble’s MEP Division. With MEPcontent, MEP engineers and contractors can deliver technically accurate models and drawings while including manufacturer-specific content, to ensure that a model contains uniform and accurate information for fabrication and documentation. is an open online BIM library for MEP contractors and engineers in Europe.

Stabicad is a 3D CAD/CAE software solution for Revit and AutoCAD, which integrates design, drawing and engineering calculation/analysis, supporting workflows from engineering to construction.

According to Trimble, the Stabiplan acquisition will broaden its existing construction solutions for MEP contractors and engineers that enable automated estimating, project management, modeling, detailing, layout and construction. Elements can be placed according to an a-a or an a-2a layout and you can determine how many rows and columns of the elements are being placed in one action.Trimble has acquired Stabiplan, a specialist in Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) and developer of Stabicad CAD/CAE software and the MEPcontent BIM content library. This way you can save a lot of time when installing multiple units of the same light fixture.

Maximise your productivity by switching out electrical components on mass rather than individually and easily place the same symbol multiple times in a space. The extensive list of calculations available to select from are compliant with multiple regulatory norms, including IEC 60364, BS 7671, ADDC, DEWA, NEN1010 and VDE 100. Easily and accurately execute calculations for multiple regulatory authorities to ensure you produce the highest-detailed 3D designs in Revit, regardless of your location. Powerful integrated ProDesign calculation services and BS 7671 compliant component databases enable Stabicad users to quickly perform complex circuit calculations for load summation cable sizing, including cable lengths protection, including line and earth fault adiabatic checks voltage drop selectivity checks and containment calculations, including utilized and spare capacity.
