MEP Drafting Services

Our experienced and certified MEP designers create accurate MEP 2D drafts for residential, commercial, and industrial MEPF systems, meeting national and local codes and standards.

What Do MEP Drafting Services Include?

MEP drafting services refer to two-dimensional representations of a building’s HVAC, fire protection, plumbing, and electrical systems. The 2D drawings give a bird's-eye view of the entire MEP system of a specific floor. Hence, any clashes in the design become evident to the designers when they create the drafts. MEP drafting also enables designers to ensure that the MEP design collaborates with other engineering disciplines.

Our MEP Drafting Services

Mechanical Drafting Services

Our skilled mechanical engineering designers create layouts for a building’s entire heating and cooling system and fire protection system. They also create the duct and pipe layout required for installing the HVAC system. Our team creates detailed 2D drawings for residential, high-rise buildings, hospitals, educational institutes, etc. Our mechanical design and drafting services use updated tools to ensure that the mechanical designs coordinate with other parts of the MEP design.

Electrical Drafting Services

Our electrical CAD drafting services offer electrical riser diagrams, lighting circuits, and electrical panel diagrams. We also use electrical drafting software to help you with cable tray layouts and drawings. Our team converts hand-drawn sketches into electrical drafts while providing load calculations for domestic and commercial projects. Our electrical engineering team also creates complete site drafting plans for interior and exterior lighting.

Plumbing Drafting Services

National MEP Engineers’ plumbing drafting services create layouts for domestic and commercial projects, depicting the technical details of the plumbing system. These drafts allow contractors to visualize the entire plumbing system.

Partnering with Clients

At National MEP Engineers, we partner with architects, MEP contractors, and General Contractors to provide them with comprehensive MEP drafts. This allows them to identify the ideal routes for installing MEP systems. We aim to outline each MEP system’s accurate locations and assembly details, as seen in the shop drawings, to ensure its optimal function. Our precise drafting allows stakeholders to minimize wastage during construction through our As-built drawings. We work as an outsourced MEP design support partner for our clients.

FAQs

What's the difference between MEP design and MEP drafting?

MEP design involves planning and engineering system functionality, while MEP drafting focuses on translating those designs into precise 2D technical drawings that guide construction teams.

How do MEP drafts help reduce design clashes during construction?

MEP drafts provide a clear, top-down view of the entire MEP system. They help resolve system conflicts before construction begins, saving time and costs.

Do your drafts comply with local and national codes?

All our MEP drafts are created to meet applicable national and local building codes and standards for safety, efficiency, and compliance.

What software do you use for drafting?

Our team uses industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD MEP, Autodesk Revit, and other advanced design software to ensure accuracy and coordination.

Can you convert hand sketches or markups into digital MEP drafts?

Absolutely. We can convert hand-drawn sketches and marked-up plans into detailed and professional 2D MEP drafts.

In what formats will I receive the final drafts?

We typically deliver drafts in DWG and PDF formats. However, we can accommodate other format requests based on your project requirements or software preferences.

Do you offer as-built drafting services?

Yes. We create detailed as-built drawings based on onsite changes or post-construction inputs, helping you accurately document the final installed condition of MEP systems.

How do you ensure the quality of your MEP drafts?

Senior team members review each draft multiple times before delivering it to the client to ensure code compliance, clarity, and coordination across MEP systems.

Can I request revisions after receiving the drafts?

Absolutely. While we aim to minimize iterations through our quality process, we’re flexible and open to incorporating client feedback to ensure you’re fully satisfied.
