Get To Know More About MEP Coordination Drawings

By Jeffrey Stevens


Basically, coordination drawing also referred to as composite is crucial for successful building constructions whether institutional or commercial buildings. Generally, coordination involves avoiding the physical conflict when preparing the equipment with a building, as well as procedures for duct piping and building systems. The risk is usually prominent during a building project with many mechanical, plumbing, and electrical needs. Therefore, it is necessary to include the MEP coordination drawings within the site.

Generally, MEP is an acronym for mechanical, electrical, as well as plumbing. These drawings are, therefore used in order to minimize problems between different trades. For instance, when subcontractors are dealing with others. This skillful drawings form a major tool in planning to help in smooth installation of every equipment.

The drawings are made after all the routines and elevations are established. For instance, the HVAC, plumbing, electrical and fire protection, piping among others and they are all laid out as one. Upon the completion and meeting the approval, the subcontractors thereafter come up with their own detailed shop drawing depending on the area they are dealing with.

If one recruits an effective firm that is efficient in this process, they are able to save a lot of time spent in the construction hence save a lot of money and make profits. This is crucial as very many construction sites tend to make more loss than profits. However, the quality of the drawings are different and varying from one coordination firm to another. Hiring non-professionals to save money tends to be costly as more problems emerge as the process progresses. This tends to delay the project and create more confusion.

For a company to be competent, it is crucial for them to be attentive to information that involves the MEP coordination tools. Firstly, there is a design knowledge, which is usually practiced to ensure that a project meets all the required standard and codes. The detailers and drawing engineers are usually consulted on this. This entails configuration, location and regulating property.

At the same time, there is construction knowledge in this tools that helps to guarantee efficient field operations, as well as building feasibility. This tools have knowledge on the access requirement, construction method, safety, and configuration. At this point, engineers and the foremen usually provide the knowledge.

On the other hand, the main areas that are included in MEP process are normally the most crucial systems of a building. One of such system is the HVAC system that includes heat generation, cooling systems, air handling, as well as the automatic monitoring system. This helps to ensure air is always conditioned. Another area is fire protection system that help to ensure the building is fire resistant, and fast on fire warning.

The other areas are such as the electrical systems that involve supplying, distribution, and lighting. Plumbing system is another area that focuses on the pressure driven systems and pumped waste among many other. Finally, there is the piping system and the telephone or datacom. Therefore, there is the need for the MEP coordination in the buildings to ensure there are no damages or extra costs.
