MEP Drawing Services

We will create or update your Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing Drawings

What are MEP Drawings?

MEP drawings are technical drawings used in construction and engineering that show the layout and details for:

  • Mechanical systems (e.g., HVAC – heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
  • Electrical systems (e.g., lighting, power distribution, fire alarms)
  • Plumbing systems (e.g., water supply, drainage, waste, and vent piping)

These drawings are essential for ensuring that all building systems are properly coordinated, installed correctly, and function efficiently without interference or conflicts.

Types of MEP Drawings:

  • Mechanical Drawings – show ductwork, air handling units, exhaust systems, etc.
  • Electrical Drawings – show wiring, lighting plans, circuiting, panel schedules.
  • Plumbing Drawings – include water supply lines, sewage systems, pipe sizing.
  •  

Purpose:

  • Coordination between different systems to avoid clashes.
  • Guide for contractors and installers.
  • Basis for cost estimation and material takeoff.
  • Compliance with building codes and standards.

MEP Drawing Production

At Restoric, we produce 2D MEP drawings using AutoCAD, supporting both updates to existing layouts and the development of new preliminary designs based on client mark-ups. Accepted inputs include PDF mark-ups, redlines, hand sketches, and scanned documents.

All drawings are developed in accordance with industry-recognized CAD standards, including BS 1192 and ISO 19650 where applicable. We maintain disciplined layer management, ensuring clear separation of services (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and seamless integration with broader design models.

Our outputs are structured for efficient coordination, review, and progression into detailed design or construction documentation phases.

Frequently asked questions

for MEP Drawing Services

What does MEP mean?

MEP drawings are technical drawings that show the design and layout of a building’s Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems.

Here’s what each part stands for:

  • M – Mechanical: Includes HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems — showing ductwork, air handling units, ventilation paths, etc.

  • E – Electrical: Covers power distribution, lighting layouts, fire alarms, data cabling, and other electrical systems.

  • P – Plumbing: Involves water supply, drainage, waste, vent piping, and often includes gas systems.

Purpose of MEP Drawings:

  • To guide the installation of building services.

  • To ensure coordination between different trades.

  • To comply with building codes and regulations.

  • To help with cost estimation and procurement.

They are essential for construction planning, coordination, and long-term maintenance.

What is the difference between As-installed, as-built and record drawings

The terms as-installed, as-built, and record drawings are often used interchangeably in construction and engineering, but they have subtle differences depending on the context if taken excactly. Here’s a breakdown:


1. As-Built Drawings

  • Definition: Drawings that reflect all changes made during the construction process, showing the actual dimensions, locations, and materials used.

  • Created by: The contractor, during or after construction.

  • Purpose: To document how the project was actually built, which may differ from the original design.

  • Includes: Deviations from the original plans due to site conditions, change orders, or construction methods.


2. As-Installed Drawings

  • Definition: A type of as-built drawing focused specifically on the installation of systems, such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.

  • Created by: Subcontractors or installers.

  • Purpose: To show the precise location and layout of installed components, including equipment, ducts, pipes, conduits, etc.

  • Includes: Details of routing, connections, and terminations as they were actually installed.


3. Record Drawings

  • Definition: A cleaned-up, finalized version of the as-built and/or as-installed drawings, often compiled by the architect or engineer.

  • Created by: Typically the design team or project manager, using contractor-provided as-builts.

  • Purpose: To serve as the official project documentation post-construction.

  • Includes: All verified changes and notes in a standardized format, sometimes stamped as “Record Drawing.”
