By Jeffrey Stevens


Coordination drawings also known as a composite in some instances is crucial to the successful construction of a building be it commercial or institutional. Coordination basically entails avoidance of physical conflict in the preparation of the equipment in a building and the procedures of duct, piping and other systems in buildings. This risk is prominent in buildings projects that have many mechanical, electrical and plumbing needs. It is, therefore, important to include MEP coordination drawings in a site.

Basically, MEP refers to Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. Therefore, these drawings are used so as to reduce problems between the various trades. For example, if there are subcontractors dealing with each other. The skillful drawings act as a major planning tool that enables smooth installation of each equipment.

After all the elevations have been well-established, the designs are then made. For example, the HVAC, piping, fire protectors and electrical among others are all arranged as one. Upon completing, meeting as well as approval, the subcontractors create their own comprehensive shop drawing representation which will be dependent on the area they are handling at the time.

When you recruit an effective construction firm to perform the process efficiently, the firm is able to save so much time that is spent for construction thereby saving so much money hence making profits. This is usually important in many construction sites since most of them make losses other than profits. Nevertheless, the quality of these drawings are usually different and often vary with different firms. However, hiring non-professional with the intention of saving money become costly because more problems arise as the process continues. As a result more confusion and delay in the project arises.

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.

There is also the construction knowledge which helps guarantee the feasibility of the building and guarantee efficient field operations. It entails knowledge on access requirement, safety, construction method, and configuration. In this area, foremen and engineers are the ones who provide this knowledge.

The main areas included in the MEP process are the most crucial systems in a building. For instance, there is the HVAC system that entails cooling systems, heat generation, air handling and automatic monitoring system. It helps to ensure the air is conditioned at all times. The other one is the fire protection system which helps make the building fire resistant and also fast in warning of a fire.

Other areas are the electrical system which entails supply, distribution, and lighting. There is also the plumbing system which focuses on pressure driven systems, pumped waste among others. The final areas are the process piping system and telephone or datacom. There is, therefore, need for MEP coordination in buildings to avoid further damages or extra costs.
