MEP Engineering Coordination

Electrical plans bring together power distribution, lighting and the electrical requirements of building equipment. AB Group coordinates electrical design with architectural and interior layouts, connecting these systems with the way each space will be used.

Depending on the agreed scope, electrical coordination may include interior and exterior lighting, emergency lighting, backup power, fire alarm systems and building controls. Design considerations include functionality, energy efficiency and applicable electrical safety requirements. We coordinate power and lighting needs with HVAC and other building systems, bringing the supporting engineering documentation into the overall project design. Your building’s intended use and equipment requirements help define the electrical scope.

Mechanical engineering addresses how a building is heated, cooled and ventilated. AB Group coordinates HVAC design with the architectural layout and intended use of each space, considering temperature control, humidity, airflow and indoor air quality.

Depending on your project’s scope, mechanical coordination may also address building automation and controls, energy efficiency, and noise and vibration considerations. These requirements are considered alongside the building’s electrical systems and other engineering disciplines. By integrating mechanical requirements into the overall design, we help align building systems with the spaces they serve and the operational needs of homeowners, businesses and property owners.

Plumbing addresses how a building receives water, supplies hot water and removes wastewater. AB Group coordinates plumbing plans with fixture locations and architectural layouts, integrating water supply, sanitary drainage and vent systems into the building design.

For spaces with kitchens, restrooms or other water-using equipment, coordination helps connect utility requirements with the proposed layout. Depending on the project scope, plumbing design may also address gas piping, backflow prevention and water conservation measures. We coordinate these requirements with the architectural design and related engineering disciplines so plumbing systems are considered alongside the building’s functional needs. The agreed scope identifies the services and documentation included.

Fire protection coordination connects fire detection, alarm and suppression systems with the architectural and MEP design. AB Group coordinates these elements with the project’s fire safety planning, considering the building’s intended use and applicable requirements.

Depending on the project scope, coordination may include sprinkler systems, smoke control, emergency lighting and exit signage. These systems are considered alongside exit routes and fire-rated walls, floors and doors. Working with properly licensed engineering firms, we bring the relevant fire protection requirements into the overall project documentation. The engineering scope identifies the systems and design responsibilities included for your building.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems work together. Coordinating them with the architecture helps align lighting, power, ventilation, water supply and drainage with the way your building will be used.

AB Group prepares architectural permit documents and coordinates the supporting engineering documentation included in your agreement. Your project’s scope and jurisdiction guide the documentation required for submission and review.
