Computer-implemented automated design, modeling and manufacturing system for a project

A computer-implemented method for automated design and modeling for a project comprising:

• storing size and capacity information associated with predefined objects of a mechanical system in a spatial database;
• identifying an existing physical building;
• and, subsequent to the identifying:
• entering into the spatial database parametric objects of the existing physical building wherein each of the parametric objects represents a design component of an object being modeled, wherein each of the parametric objects includes an interface through which the parametric object communicates information with other parametric objects;
• representing, via at least one of the parametric objects, one or more constraints to routing, placement or flow of the mechanical system in the existing physical building;
• inputting, via an interface, project requirements for introducing the mechanical system to the existing physical building;
• and
• creating, based on at least the one or more constraints, an automated configuration of the mechanical system at least within the existing physical building.
