Why Our MEP Material Takeoffs Hold Up

MEP systems cannot be accurately represented by a single quantity.

A complete material takeoff may require separate quantities for pipe by diameter and material, fittings, valves, ductwork, insulation, equipment, conduit, wire, cable, devices, fixtures, panels, and other components.

We organize MEP materials according to the system and documentation provided.

Mechanical & HVAC Materials

Mechanical material takeoffs can identify: * HVAC equipment * Air handling units * RTUs * Condensing units * Furnaces * Heat pumps * Ductwork * Duct fittings * Dampers * Grilles * Registers * Diffusers * Refrigerant piping * Mechanical piping * Valves * Supports * Piping insulation * Duct insulation * Controls where documented * Equipment accessories

Plumbing Materials

Plumbing material takeoffs can include: * Domestic water piping * Sanitary piping * Storm drainage piping * Gas piping * Pipe fittings * Valves * Cleanouts * Floor drains * Plumbing fixtures * Water heaters * Pumps * Backflow preventers * Plumbing equipment * Pipe insulation * Supports * Hangers * Other documented plumbing components

Electrical Materials

Electrical material takeoffs can include: * Conduit * Electrical wire * Cable * Fittings * Junction boxes * Pull boxes * Panels * Switchgear * Transformers * Disconnects * Receptacles * Switches * Devices * Lighting fixtures * Emergency lighting * Exit signs * Grounding * Electrical supports * Other documented electrical components

Low-Voltage & Communications

Where documented, MEP material takeoffs can also include: * Data cabling * Communications cabling * Fire alarm components * Security devices * Access control * CCTV components * Audio/visual systems * Pathways * Low-voltage devices * Other specialty systems

MEP Procurement Support

MEP materials can be organized according to system, material type, size, and specification to support supplier pricing and procurement.

This can help contractors and subcontractors identify material requirements before purchase orders are prepared.
