The team approach to MEP systems
is based on several factors. There are several ways to
provide MEP designs however; the best method is to
understand the owners goals and budget in regards to the
systems they wish to install. The approach begins by
conducting several meetings with all involved parties in
order to gain an understanding of the project expectations,
budgets and requirements. The MEPCE staff conducts site visits for
existing projects in order to evaluate the existing systems
in order to identify components that can be reused and make
our recommendations. Often times, there are ways of
achieving the owners wishes more efficiently and less
costly than typical strategies that the owners might not be
aware of. The MEPCE team values informing owners of different
strategies and the associated costs with each method for the MEP systems.
The experienced staff members are not only
fully knowledgeable in regards to every type of MEP systems,
but are also aware of the sensitive needs that each project
requires.
