MEP Shop Drawings is a combination of a 3D rendering of construction drawings that is the outcome of other disciplines such as architectural and structural along with MEP shop drawings. It is used used for installation and coordination purpose of MEP components such as HVAC, fire protection, electrical wire, drainage systems, and lightning.

Introduction to MEP Shop Drawings: • In the Construction Industry, MEP stands for Mechanical, electrical and Plumbing disciplines. • MEP Shop drawing is a set of drawings that are created to show in detail the pre-fabricated components of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing disciplines. • It is a combination of a 3D rendering of construction drawings that is the outcome of other disciplines such as architectural and structural along with MEP shop drawings.
Overview: • Shop drawings are used for installation and coordination purpose of MEP components such as HVAC, fire protection, electrical wire, drainage systems, and lightning. They exhibit more information than construction drawings. • MEP shop drawings must highlight the look-like of building, its functionality and coercive details in the construction drawings. Architects and Engineers from the shop drawing can review the fabricated view of the product before actual fabrication, and that helps them in the evaluation of shop drawings. • MEP Shop drawings must include dimensions, manufacturing standards and guidelines. Electrical connections and equipment will be created through MEP shop drawings.
Importance of MEP Shop Drawings • MEP Drawings helps to visualize how MEP components will be constructed and how they would function. It is very beneficial for the construction industry to convey ideas in a better way. Familiar symbols, units of measurement and notation systems are used widely to make MEP BIM Coordination Drawings understandable. • They offer an adequate level of detail for fabrication and installation. The final dimensions of fabricated components are taken from Shop Drawings which is accurate. It helps the client to get cost savings and improvement in delivery schedules of work. MEP shop drawings can help to detect clashes before installation that saves the time of Architects and engineers.
MEP BIM Coordination • Installation of numerous equipment needs MEP coordinated drawings to maintain the proper installation of equipment and is in place for the contractors. MEP BIM Coordinationhelps in achieving high quality and saves time. • It aids in better productivity through off-site fabrication, better plans, and well-informed team. With 4D and 5D BIM, you can know the time taken to complete the MEP components fabrications and estimate the cost incurred in the overall project and materials that are required in MEP components like wires and fittings. • It prevents to deploy the resource and dimensions.
Conclusion • MEP Shop Drawings are an essential part of the construction industry as most of them make use of BIM Services. • With Coordinated BIM modelit helps to get a better quality of construction and saves time. It is also responsible for improving productivity through off-site fabrication, better plans, and expert teams. • Engineers are easily able to identify clash and resolve them before construction work begins. Hence, MEP is prominent and booming in the AEC industry.
