MEP Estimating Services
An MEP estimate organizes mechanical, electrical and plumbing costs by system. Match equipment and fixture tags to the drawings, then identify which trade supplies and installs shared items such as controls, sleeves and power connections.
MEP bids are easier to level when equipment, distribution and connections sit in distinct parts of the estimate. We organize quantities by system and identify the points where two trades could carry the same work or leave it out.
Resolve trade handoffs before comparing bids.
What the scope can include
- Mechanical equipment and distribution
- Electrical panels, fixtures and feeders
- Plumbing fixtures and piping systems
- Controls, sleeves and testing responsibility
What to send with your plans
Send the mechanical, electrical and plumbing sets along with equipment schedules, control diagrams, addenda and division-of-work notes.
Frequently asked questions
How do you handle incomplete design?
Identify missing system information and price an allowance only when the bid team agrees on its basis. Keep that allowance visible.
Can you estimate a single MEP trade?
Yes. Scope the estimate to one trade or a defined system, and document the interfaces that still need pricing from another contractor.
