MEP Design

What is MEP Engineering?

In the construction, M.E.P stands for MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL and PLUMBING. MEP engineering is the design, planning and management of the MEP systems of a building.

KIPO Engineering Consultants specialise in all three elements together with full consultancy services across all RIBA stages and assist with all client and design teams decisions as well as producing drawings, specifications and tender documentation.

Well-designed MEP systems are essential to building livable and pleasant spaces, no matter if it is a single-story home or a 50-story skyscraper.

Without well-functioning MEP solutions, buildings are caves. Our mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers turn a building into cozy spaces we all know and enjoy.

The mechanical design of a building, deals with internal conditions such as heating and cooling systems, which maintain the occupancy design requirements ensuring these systems are in accordance with current regulations.

The electrical system starts at the incoming supply for all the electrical requirements of mechanical plant, lighting and small power in a building which can require low and high voltage depending on the requirements

Plumbing relates to anything carrying or sustains water from heating, hot water and drinking water systems to steam operated plant

Kipo Engineering

Detailed Engineering Made Simple

We take pride in our high-quality drawing production to RIBA stage 4. With the production of BIM designs, we encourage a collaborative approach, allowing it to develop with confidence and preventing costly mistakes down the line.

With every drawing that we produce, we ensure that all engineering plans are communicated with stakeholders and accurately documented so that our clients can make informed decisions.

Our drawings are produced in the latest AutoCAD, REVIT/BIM software to meet a projects requirements.
