MEP Estimating Services
Coordinated mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection takeoffs and clash-checked budgets that close the scope gaps between Divisions 21, 22, 23 and 26–28.
Technical Overview
MEP divisions carry a large share of commercial construction cost, and most change orders happen at the hand-offs: mechanical starters and VFDs, electrical feeds, fire alarm duct-smoke tie-ins and condensate drains. Our MEP team estimates all four trades together, against CEC, NPC and NECB requirements, so nothing falls between subtrades.
Governing Canadian Codes & Standards:
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 National Plumbing Code of Canada NECB energy requirements NFPA 13 as referenced by the National Building Code
