What are MEP and EPC?

 

  • Mechanical: This deals with the building’s air conditioning, heating and ventilation. Mechanical aspects are carefully designed and installed to set optimum temperatures and for comfortable living. MEP engineers build unique designs for each of the different types of buildings to address specific ventilation, heating and air conditioning requirements while trying to make it as cost-efficient as possible.
  • Electrical: MEP engineers use special MEP software to plan wiring and conduit layout structures to minimise total circuit length and avoid conflict with the plumbing and mechanical installations. The main purpose is ensuring the electrical system is simple, cost-effective, and functions efficiently.
  • Plumbing: This refers to planning a plumbing structure for optimum, smooth water flow, wastewater disposal, acid waste systems, water supply, etc. Each building has a different plumbing layout requirement, and MEP engineers work to address them respectively.
  • Engineering: Consists of initiation, planning, estimation and design development.
  • Procurement: Includes purchasing, expediting, receiving and invoicing.
  • Construction: Involves the construction schedule, on-site material handling, building activities, on-site client communication and finally, the closing of the project.
