MEP coordination services
MEP coordination merges mechanical, electrical and plumbing models with structure and architecture, drives clashes to zero, and issues installation or spool drawings the trades can build from. Coordinators bill $35–$95 per hour in the US and EU and $16–$40 per hour in North Africa, the Gulf, Nigeria or South Asia.

Time to hire
A plant-room pilot returns within a week; full-building coordination runs as a weekly cycle for the duration of design.
What the scope usually includes
- Federated model assembly in Navisworks or ACC
- Clash matrix, tolerances and prioritised clash reports
- Coordinated ceiling voids, risers and plant room layouts
- Installation and spool drawings with hanger and support locations
How to screen candidates
- Ask for a redacted clash report from a real project, with re-test history
- Check they can chair a coordination call, not just publish reports
- Confirm CDE and Navisworks or ACC experience
- Pilot one plant room before appointing for the whole building

Frequently asked questions
- How much does MEP coordination cost?
- $35–$95 per hour in the US and EU and $16–$40 per hour in MENA, Africa and South Asia. Coordinators sit above modellers because the work includes chairing resolution, not only running clash tests.
- What is included in MEP clash detection?
- A clash matrix defining which disciplines are tested against which, agreed tolerances, prioritised reports with owners, and re-test cycles until the count is driven down. Reports without owners and re-tests are a list, not coordination.
- Do I get installation drawings?
- Only if you ask. Coordinated models and clash reports are one deliverable; installation and spool drawings with support locations are another and are priced separately.
- Can MEP coordination be done remotely?
- Yes, when everyone works in one CDE and there is enough timezone overlap for a weekly coordination call. Gulf and North African coordinators overlap the UK and EU working day comfortably.
