MEP drafting and coordination for permits and construction
MEP stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing: the HVAC, power, lighting and water systems that make a building work. Permit reviewers and contractors need these drawings to be complete, and to agree with the architecture.
We prepare and coordinate MEP drawings alongside your architectural set, so ducts, pipes, panels and fixtures fit the space and the drawings do not contradict each other.
What is included
- Mechanical drawings: HVAC layouts, equipment and ventilation
- Electrical drawings: power, lighting, panel locations and schedules
- Plumbing drawings: fixtures, supply and drainage layouts
- Coordination of ceiling space, shafts and equipment locations with the architecture
- Schedules and notes required for permit submission
- Engineering review and stamping where required, through the registered professional
Who this is for
Restaurants and food service, retail and office tenants, clinics, and any project that changes mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems.
What we need from you
- A floor plan of the space
- Equipment lists, such as kitchen equipment or specialty appliances
- Landlord building standards, if any

MEP Drafting & Coordination: common questions
When are MEP drawings required for a permit?
Usually when the project adds or changes HVAC, electrical or plumbing systems. Cosmetic work often does not need them. Your municipality can confirm what applies to your scope.
Can you coordinate with my existing architect or engineer?
Yes. We can prepare MEP drawings to match another team's architectural set, or provide both so everything is coordinated from the start.
Are MEP drawings stamped?
Where the authority requires it, MEP drawings are reviewed and stamped by a registered professional. We confirm this for your project and province at the start.
