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 Coordination helps 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 model it 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.
