MEP Plans ?

[Joe_Carrick]

I have a project that the city is asking for more detailed MEP than I would normally provide.  Do you have any consultants you use to do plumbing diagrams and electrical panel circuit layouts?

 

Or, are there some standard details you use?

Most states are now requiring HERS ratings.

(Res-Check is becoming outdated to some degree. Especially on new builds.)

 

The energy analysis by the rating provider involves fairly skilled technicians. Aside from insulation specifications, they can often provide a basic HVAC layout w/ equipment sizes. It’s worth looking into. 

 

Lighting and plumbing are still kept in the wheelhouse for most projects. These areas aren't nearly as complex as HVAC.

Simple diagrams for permit applications typically gets the job done.

the builders I draw for have their subs provide me with the info. needed. they markup a plan, then I transfer that info. Doesn't happen very often, maybe 2 times in 10 years..

Joe,

Attached is the format that I use for Electric Service Panels. It is a Word document.
