Service Drawings (MEP - Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing)

Service drawings ensure that the building’s utilities and systems are integrated without interfering with the structural or architectural components.

  • Mechanical Services (HVAC):

    • Heating: Design of boiler rooms, radiators, or other heating systems for cold climates.
    • Ventilation: Design of air ducts, fans, and ventilation shafts to ensure proper air circulation. Placement of air vents and exhausts must be coordinated with the architect to avoid aesthetic issues.
    • Air Conditioning: Placement of AC units, ducting, and condensers to maintain optimal cooling. It’s important to calculate airflows and choose appropriate systems (centralized vs. split units).

  • Electrical Services:

      • Power Distribution: Wiring layouts, power outlets, main switchboards, and distribution panels are planned.

      • Lighting Layout: Placement of light fixtures (general, accent, and task lighting) to balance aesthetics and functionality.

      • Backup Power: Design for generator systems, solar power inverters, or UPS, ensuring the building can run essential systems in case of power failure.

      • Smart Systems: Incorporation of smart home technologies for security, lighting, and automation.

    • Plumbing Services:

        • Water Supply: Design of water distribution systems from the main supply, placement of water tanks, piping, and pressure systems.

        • Drainage: Designing the sewer systems, stormwater drainage, and connection to municipal lines. Includes bathroom/kitchen drainage and ensuring slope requirements for proper flow.

        • Fixtures and Fittings: Layout of plumbing fixtures such as taps, sinks, toilets, and showers, ensuring they align with architectural and interior designs.

        • Fire Safety Systems:Placement of fire alarms, extinguishers, smoke detectors, and emergency exits. If required, sprinkler systems or water tanks for firefighting may also be integrated
