We prepare building-services designs from concepts and calculations through BIM coordination and construction documentation.
Coordinated information for every project stage
MEP design brings a building's mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements into one coordinated set of information. Work starts with the project objectives, architecture and the available design inputs.
The service can cover concept development, load calculations, BIM coordination, working drawings, tender information and design clarification during construction. The final scope is defined by the project brief.
How we work
Brief and inputs
We review the building use, architectural information, spatial constraints and client requirements so each discipline works from the same project inputs.
Calculations and coordination
System parameters are developed through the relevant calculations, while routes and equipment are coordinated with the architecture and other engineering disciplines.
Documentation and support
We issue the drawings and schedules required for the agreed stage and, when included in scope, respond to design questions during construction.
Included scope
Concept & detailed design
Load calculation & modelling
BIM coordination (Revit)
Tender documentation & cost estimates
Designer's site supervision
Coordination with other systems
MEP design connects HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire-safety and low-voltage systems. Shared coordination reduces spatial conflicts between routes and gives the project team aligned information for the next stage.
Frequently asked questions
What can an MEP design package contain?
A package can include concept information, engineering calculations, a BIM model, plans, schematics, schedules and tender information. The exact documents and level of detail are set by the project brief and agreed design stages.
How is BIM coordination used?
BIM coordination reviews routes and equipment from different engineering disciplines in one model. It helps the team identify spatial issues and prepare decisions that are coordinated with the architecture.
Is design support available during construction?
Design support can be included in the agreed service. Its scope may cover design clarification, review of submitted information and incorporation of agreed changes when these activities are defined in advance.
