What are the benefits of MEP Shop Drawings?

1. What are the benefits of MEP Shop Drawings?

2. MEP – A brief introduction MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing. Whether commercial or residential, MEP components are vital in every project. MEP systems are designed by specialized consultants and contractors and planned during the design stage through MEP drawings.

3. So, what is a MEP shop drawing? MEP shop drawings are created by combining the architectural, structural, and civil shop drawings for a project. They facilitate fabrication, manufacturing, installation, assembly, and maintenance of the mechanical, electrical and sanitation components inside a building. MEP shop drawings add solidarity to architectural construction document sets. Contractors and engineers can refer to these drawing sets to get precise specifications and identify faults before the construction begins, thus saving time, money, and labor costs.

4. Let’s examine the three components of MEP: Mechanical Shop Drawings Mechanical shop drawings demarcate heating vents and air conditioning systems, and determine their placement. The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) shop drawings are part of the mechanical shop drawings and represent enhanced specifications for installing and fabricating ducts, custom piping connections, and air-handling units.

5. Let’s examine the three components of MEP: Electrical Shop Drawings The electrical systems inside a building include power supply and distribution, control systems, access and security systems, information and communication systems, and interior and exterior lighting.

6. Let’s examine the three components of MEP: Plumbing Shop Drawings As the name suggests, plumbing shop drawings represent the plumbing elements inside a building, such as piping systems, drainage, garbage disposals, and waste carriers. They also indicate fluid and air transport for heating and cooling, potable and non-potable water supply, fuel gas piping, and waste removal.

7. Benefits of MEP Shop Drawings Accurate representation of design and assembly instructions MEP shop drawings have a scaled outline of the final assembly of a product with its accessories, dimensions, weight, and cable and/or piping connections. It is because of this comprehensive detailing that fabricators and contractors have a clear picture of what to build or supply.

8. Benefits of MEP Shop Drawings Built-in documentation for quick reference Let’s say that a HVAC pipeline is faulty. Your contractor can refer to his mechanical drawings plan and pinpoint the exact location to begin repairing. In short, your shop drawings solve problems that arise during construction. Most licensing authorities also require MEP shop drawing plans to grant permits and licenses for undertaking a new construction project – all the more reason why you should hire experts to create your own set.

9. Benefits of MEP Shop Drawings Accurate cost estimation Nothing irks clients more than bills that are nowhere near the estimated expense. Ironically, in any construction project, it’s often the budget that goes haywire. A little up and down is usually ignored, even encouraged, but drastic increase in expenses is frowned upon. It is crucial to keep a tab on costs in the manufacturing business – especially for the MEP components.

10. Benefits of MEP Shop Drawings Uniformity across products With MEP shop drawings, you can standardize your processes and ensure that your products adhere to the industry standards – increasing your odds of obtaining license and construction permits. If you’re not sure about which standards to follow, you can ask professionals to design MEP drawings that conform to the AEC industry standards.

11. Benefits of MEP Shop Drawings Ease of access and training Modern-day technology has given a lot of freedom to its users. Everyone owns a cell phone and tablet. Communication has become seamless, giving way to collaborative working. The AEC industry has not been left untouched by technical advancements. High-speed networks have shrunk the industry considerably – your MEP shop drawings are just a tap away on your contractor’s, fabricator’s, and supplier’s mobile, for ready-reference.

12. Benefits of MEP Shop Drawings Brand building and promotion through MEP drawings Your precise shop drawings speak for themselves and when they do, your brand value escalates. Just add the logo of your company to your documents and see your business flourish. Good drawings lead to great construction, and great construction equals brand building!
