Multi-discipline MEP coordination: electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire protection in one model
Four systems, one technical ceiling. Priority rules, zoning and what to watch when coordinating MEP disciplines.
Multi-discipline coordination needs a shared view of space, priorities and connections between systems.
One technical space, many systems.
Electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire protection systems share corridors, ceiling zones and risers. Each discipline needs to provide enough information for the others to assess the effect of a change.
A coordination model creates one shared workspace instead of comparing separate drawing sets.
Agree the priority rules.
The project team should agree elevation, maintenance-clearance and routing principles before solving individual locations. This keeps decisions consistent as the model develops.
