PRECONSTRUCTION CONSULTING
PROJECT TIME & COST
MEP Drawing on our extensive development and MEP expertise, we provide detailed estimating to validate a proposed project. By producing a conceptual development budget before a client invests significant time and money pursuing a project, we enable them to focus their resources on the most promising opportunities and we dig deep to identify potential issues or misalignments with our client’s goals.
ADDING VALUE EARLY IN THE PROCESS
Drawing validation and value engineering can enhance project planning by providing detailed cost estimates and schedules as they advance through design and entitlements and this leads to identify cost or risk reduction opportunities.

PROJECT REVIEW AND CODES COMPLIENCES
WHAT IS AN PROJECT REVIEW ?
An expert project review is a quality review of a design professional’s drawing package and/or reports by a MEP Engineering Professionals . By having an independent party look at the drawings, it allows for calculations, design intent, and clarity of described scope to be peer reviewed. This ensures that during the cheapest portion of a project (engineering / design), that the scope is clarified and design intent to be corrected.
Without expert review, it could be expensive to remedy an incorrect design as products are purchased and sometimes installed. This not only costs money, but hurts the delivery schedule and causes disciplines not involved in the error to potentially be affected by re-work.
Project design review by the expertise engineers to identify the errors and proposed solution to rectify the design intent for suitability of the end use and constructability
Project review by the project director / Project in charge who is responsible the project construction execution .
IMPACT OF PROJECT REVIEW
An independently reviewed package where design professionals agree that the scope is clear, design is sound, and all is ready to be constructed. You can take comfort in that your project should have minimal ‘in the field’ changes. Also, your construction estimates should have competitive pricing as the amount of assumptions that a construction professional has to guess regarding the scope. These guesses can lead to costly change orders in the field.
CODES COMPLIENCES
The main purpose of design code is to provide minimum requirement for safety of resources which will ensure the execution of the work as per compliance. Any code for EngineeringDesign specifies minimum standards required for execution of the work as per codes applicable to that design. In general following codes are followed for MEP system design .
Mechanical Codes:-ASHRAE, ASME, ASTM, SMACNA , AS1668.2 – 2012, AS 4254.2-2012
Plumbing Codes:-IPC , ASPE ,AS3500
Electrical Codes:-NFPA70 – NEC
Fire Protection:-NFPA -1, 13, 14
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Design and Drawing Solution has a thorough understanding of system designs that incorporate alternative energy and energy conservation technologies. We routinely perform energy modeling to evaluate opportunities to increase energy conservation (this modeling energy audit is a required element for Green Buildings ) , Most importantly, D & D consulting engineers can advise you on how to maximize energy conservation benefits on your sustainable design project, giving you the opportunity to meet Green Building requirements while optimizing life cycle costs. Some of the energy conservation systems we design include: chilled beam technology, geothermal heat pump systems, under floor air distribution systems, thermal storage systems, energy recovery, free cooling systems, energy efficient lighting design, daylight integrating, and effective lighting control strategies.
Through a comprehensive understanding of systems design, D & D incorporates a wide range of energy conservation technologies including the following:
- Energy modeling to evaluate system alternatives for optimal life cycle performance
- Minimizing water use and reusing wastewater/gray water
- Day lighting to enhance the indoor environment and to reduce electric light energy
- Incorporating renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics and wind energy
- Documenting facility energy use and occupant comfort through measurement and verification
- Tracking performance trends to maintain optimum system performance throughout the life of the facility
- Formal commissioning to confirm that systems are performing in accordance with the design intent and to verify maintainability of systems – for both new and existing buildings.
FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR RENOVATION
Updating of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP) systems as part of a major renovation or capital planning makes sense—if it’s done right. D &D can help building owners make informed decisions on when and how to replace systems, based on a thorough study of the existing infrastructure and building requirements. We’re proud that the owners of Boston’s largest mixed-use development chose C3 to study its central power plant to inform its long-term capital planning, then hired us to engineer its replacement
IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT
Our experienced engineering team performs a comprehensive study to assess the existing equipment’s actual remaining lifespan—not just what the book says it should be. Then we prepare a detailed report examining all the pros and cons, and options for replacing the equipment—including the cost of replacement, the risks of waiting, and the potential disruption during installation. We know that simply replacing the equipment in kind is not always the best approach. This assessment includes as follows
- Technical feasibility Study
- Financial feasibility
- Techno-economic feasibility study
- Techno -economic viability study
- Expansion study
- Diversification
- Bench marking
EXECUTING ON THE PLAN
Our experience team do the details study of the drawings and site report and once the study is complete, D & D can put the replacement plan in motion. This offers the advantage of having the same experienced professionals who conducted the feasibility study perform the engineering and manage the bidding and installation of the new systems. Throughout the process, our goal is to deliver an MEP systems that meets current and future needs while minimizing risk, operational costs and disruption. Execution on the plan of any project can be done based on following assessment criterion
- Existing plant details
- Assessment of plant and equipment
- Technical evaluation of unit
- Financial evaluation
