Why You Need MEP Engineering for Your Commercial Design Project

Behind every beautiful picture of a completed design project, there is a lot that cannot be seen. It’s not just the work that went into it, but also the background on which all these elements of designs are built. We are talking about what goes on behind the walls, floors and ceiling of each building, and about the art and science of MEP engineering.

MEP engineering is just a fun acronym for a serious concept: mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering. While these three disciplines provide very different services, MEP engineering combines them into one and eliminates the coordination problems that come with hiring different specialists. 

MEP engineering, however, offers more than just a communication solution. While mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are different, the one common denominator in a successful project is optimizing all these elements for each specific building. This cannot be done by disparate entities without a common path to follow. MEP engineering ensures that the client’s budget is respected, utility needs calculated, codes considered, the best design completed and documentation carefully drawn. In short, MEP engineering means less time and money spent on a project – and a better outcome.

The documents provided by engineers shows contractors what they need to do and are essential in obtaining building permits or soliciting construction bids.
