The proper functioning of a building is largely determined at a stage that is often invisible to the eye—during the design of engineering systems. This is where the foundation is formed that later defines everyday comfort and functionality. It is precisely at this stage that Layout becomes involved, ensuring the proper design of a building’s engineering systems.
Layout is the engineering company and design division of Baumeri, focused on MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) system design. The company’s team has been operating in the engineering field for many years, applying its accumulated experience across various types of projects in daily practice—whether residential, commercial, or sports facilities.
Layout’s services cover the full design of engineering systems, including heating and cooling, ventilation, electrical systems, water supply, fire safety, low-current systems, automation, and IT systems. The company has expanded its activities and, in addition to engineering system design, has also added architecture and design services to its portfolio. This development allows Layout to offer more comprehensive and fully integrated solutions to clients, where all parts of a project are planned in a unified way from the very beginning.
One of the key advantages of the company’s operations is the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. This is not only 3D modeling, but a comprehensive data management system that, already at the design stage, significantly reduces potential errors and engineering risks. This approach greatly improves coordination between different engineering disciplines, minimizing unforeseen delays during construction and enabling maximum optimization of financial and time resources.
The company’s portfolio includes more than 50 projects. Among its current projects are Next Development’s projects in Batumi—Next Address and Next Downtown—as well as the BIM-based design of the headquarters of Basis Bank.
At different times, Layout’s engineering team has worked on projects such as the Tbilisi Velodrome designed by Giorgi Gurgeneidze Architecture, the Caucasus University Ortachala Campus, the Cushman & Wakefield office, Ocean Capital premium apartments, Zugdidi Mall, and many others.
Today, as buildings become increasingly complex and technologically advanced, the proper planning of engineering systems is of critical importance. Layout operates on the principle that a project should be well-conceived from the very beginning—precise and fully adapted to the real environment. This significantly reduces the need for later modifications and ensures the stable and efficient operation of all systems.
