  1. What are Different Types of MEP Drawings?Matzen Solutions

  2. What are MEP Drawings? For the construction industry; it is a field of engineering with a sole focus on building safe, working and energy efficient structure for humans. The Mechanical part of the MEP discipline is about HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning), and the Electrical part refers to the power supply and Plumbing addresses water supply and drainage of wastewater. To prepare these drawings Revit MEP, AutoCAD, CADDUCT, CADPIPE, and Autodesk Inventor are used.

  3. Why are MEP drawings important to the construction industry? Construction MEP drawings help to visually communicate how MEP components should be constructed and how will they function. They are widely used to convey ideas across the construction industry. To make Coordination Drawings understandable, expert CAD drawing and drafting companies use familiar symbols, units of measurement, and notation systems. Preparation of these drawings according to industry standards like ASHRAE, SMACNA, NFPA and IEEE, and in appropriate formats & layouts as per client and construction requirements is also necessary.

  4. How are MEP drawings prepared? Detailed MEP shop drawings help subcontractors to install the ductwork, piping, plumbing, electrical conduits & fire protection piping, such that the elevations and routing of each system do not interfere with each other. Additionally, each trade is coordinated with the building structure and architecture, such that there are no conflicts between ceiling and structural members. Upon establishing the routing and elevations for the HVAC a composite coordinated shop drawing that overlays or incorporates all the services on a single and main MEP coordinated shop drawing is created. Then MEP coordinated shop drawings are signed off by all those involved in the construction project; allowing each the subcontractor to create detailed duct shop drawings, plumbing shop drawings, fire protection shop drawings, etc. Only an expert and experienced professional CAD service provider can save several man-hours of labor in the field for an installing contractor, hence maximizing profits on a particular project.

  5. Different types of MEP drawings: Penetration Drawings Penetration drawings are prepared for mechanical, electrical and plumbing items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor. It includes items like pipes, electrical conduits, electrical cables, and ducts. Piercing these items carefully into the wall or floors is necessary, as they create a space between the surroundings and penetrant. These drawings help contractors with necessary views with appropriate clearance.

  6. Different types of MEP drawings: MEP Shop Drawing Detailing It is done for dimensions, elevations, and annotations. No fabricator can imagine workshop fabrication or onsite installation without shop drawings. These types of MEP drawings are made with help of standard codes applicable to the project.

  7. Different types of MEP drawings: Block-out and Sleeve Drawings Block-out drawings are useful for cement and steel contractors. Knowhow about where to leave space on floor and ceiling cutouts for various MEP systems is a challenge that is addressed using these drawings. Sleeve drawings as a subset of these drawings are used to ensure that the holes left between the walls and floor are placed properly for piping and ductwork.

  8. Different types of MEP drawings: Pipe Spool Drawings The spool is known to be the assembly of components which are prepared in a workshop and then shipped to the installation site. Pipe spool drawings are used to gather information required by fabrication workshops to accurately assemble the spool.

  9. Different types of MEP drawings: Coordination Drawings Construction projects with intense mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements face the risk of interference. Lots dollars, time and efforts go in vain because of unaccounted clashes and collisions that go unidentified during the design phase, only to get detected when the project goes on-site. Detection of hard and soft clashes within MEP systems, 3D clash detection reports with detailed mapping of every part of the current structure to resolve clashes, and clash-free and streamlined installation of MEP systems; is one of the most important tasks these days.

  10. Different types of MEP drawings: As-Built Drawings In any building project, it is very common to have on-site changes. As-built drawings are used to assess what has been actually built. More than often, contractors mark up the changes which are made on-site.
