What Are MEP Coordination Drawings?

MEP stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing. On most buildings, each trade draws its own services. MEP coordination drawings bring those layouts together in one set, so you can see where a duct, a pipe and a cable tray want to use the same space.

Finding these clashes on the drawings is easier than finding them on site, where fixing them can mean rework and delays.

3D MEP Coordination and Clash Checks

We build a 3D coordination model from the drawings you send. The model shows the services together with the structure and architecture, and we run clash checks between them. Each clash is marked and listed in a clash report. Your design team decides how to resolve it, and we update the drawings once the changes are confirmed. For full building models, see our BIM modelling services.

What We Coordinate

HVAC

Ducting and equipment, shown against structure and ceilings.

HVAC design

Electrical

Cable trays, conduits and switchboards, as shown on your drawings.

Hydraulics

Water supply, sanitary and stormwater pipework.

Plumbing estimating

Fire services

Fire pipework and equipment, as shown on your drawings.

Fire protection design

Structure

Slabs, beams and columns, so services are checked against them.

Ceilings and architecture

Ceiling heights, bulkheads and layouts, checked against the services above them.

What You Receive

3D coordination model

Built from the architectural, structural and services drawings you send.

Clash report

Each clash is marked and described, with a suggested route where we can offer one.

Coordinated drawings

Drawings updated after your design team confirms the changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are MEP coordination drawings?

MEP coordination drawings combine the mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts of a building into one set, so clashes between services, structure and architecture show up before construction.

Do you provide 3D MEP coordination?

Yes. We build a 3D model from your drawings and check it for clashes between services, structure and architecture.

What do I need to send?

The architectural and structural drawings, and the services drawings you have, as PDF or CAD files. If a trade has not drawn its services yet, tell us and we will confirm what is possible.

Who fixes the clashes?

Your design team decides how each clash is resolved. We suggest routes where we can, and update the drawings once the changes are confirmed.

Do you design the services?

No. We coordinate and draw from the information you supply. Engineering design, certification and compliance stay with your engineers and consultants.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the project and the drawings supplied. We confirm the timeframe in your quote before work starts.
