MEP Engineering Design
We design coordinated mechanical, electrical, and public-health systems around the project’s performance, energy, safety, and maintainability requirements.
Service scope

Water and drainage design with coordinated routes and loads
What this service strengthensBetter operational performanceDesign aligned with project energy requirementsCoordinated, maintainable systems
Technical documentation
Our technical record includes these types of multidisciplinary outputs. Project-sensitive drawings are not published without the applicable usage permission.
- HVAC, ventilation, and air-distribution drawings
- Water, drainage, fire protection, and pump-room layouts
- Power, lighting, earthing, and lightning protection
- Low-current, structured-cabling, and BMS systems
Delivery method
From operational needs to coordinated systems and routes
- 01
Define system requirements
Review building use, architectural drawings and available project operation and energy requirements.
- 02
Develop the design
Develop the agreed HVAC, ventilation, electrical, water, drainage and fire-protection scope.
- 03
Coordinate routes and equipment
Review service routes, plant spaces and openings with architecture, structures and maintenance-access needs.
- 04
Document the technical package
Organise system drawings and details, identifying coordination points and information still required.
Common questions
Can AYM be appointed for one system only?
The scope can cover a particular system or several connected systems. Inputs and coordination interfaces with systems and disciplines outside the scope are identified.
Does the service cover existing buildings or system alterations?
Existing systems can be reviewed for design development using available use, condition and drawing information. Any inspection or additional data needed is identified before establishing the design basis.
What to prepare for our first discussion
A short brief is enough to start. We will confirm which records are needed after understanding your scope.
- Current architectural and structural drawings and space uses
- Required systems and available operational requirements
- Utility, equipment and existing-system information for alterations
- Available project maintenance, energy and approval requirements
From equipment space to maintainable design
The unit fits in the room: can it also be maintained?
In a hypothetical design review, an air-conditioning unit fits within the room, but a nearby service occupies the space needed to open its service panel and remove the filter. Fitting the equipment body does not establish that its components can be reached and maintained.
- Inputs: The room use and operating requirements, the selected equipment model’s data and installation, operation and maintenance instructions, plans and sections, service routes and doors, and connection and control requirements.
- Check: Review panel-opening directions, the manufacturer’s component-removal space, the access route, and interference with partitions and services. Review these requirements alongside design performance, calculations and selection data; one maintenance clearance cannot be applied to every model.
- Design action: Record the constraint and responsible discipline. Within the design scope, assess changes to the layout, service route or equipment selection, coordinating effects on loads, connections, openings and architecture before issuing the update.
- Closure evidence: Updated plans and sections showing the equipment and service zone, selection data consistent with the calculations, and a review record showing how the comment was addressed and which constraints remain.
This is a design decision example, not evidence of installation or verified operation. Procurement, installation, testing and commissioning are separate scopes; field verification depends on the appointment, equipment and project requirements.
The service zone can be represented in BIM coordination and checked against the architectural layout. Clash detection alone does not complete the review.
Illustrative reference: Service and filter access on an air-conditioning unit — Daikin Applied. This illustrates why component access matters. Actual design decisions use the selected project model’s data; the reference is not a brand recommendation.
Output shape: a maintenance-access review record
Original educational specimen for the preceding example. Every record reference below is fictional, not a project record.
- Item and status: “Illustrative unit” in a “hypothetical room” — open for information. Its body fits the plan, but the service-panel opening direction conflicts with an adjacent route.
- Missing verification source: “Illustrative model data — fictional revision A” lacks filter-removal instructions. The mechanical designer requests model-specific installation, operation and maintenance information from the supplier. The equipment outline cannot confirm maintenance space.
- Action and closure condition: Study rerouting with the affected discipline. Keep the item open until “illustrative section — revision B” links panel and component-removal space to the model reference, with the access route, designer’s review and remaining constraints recorded.
This is a design-review record, not an installation or operating result, and it sets no universal equipment clearance.
