ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN · MEP COORDINATION · TECHNICAL SPACES

MEP & Technical Space Integration

Integrated planning of technical rooms, ventilation shafts, electrical routes, heating and cooling equipment, maintenance access and building-service interfaces. The objective is to coordinate architectural space with MEP requirements before installation.

Technical Coordination Categories

Electrical & Low-Voltage Routing

Coordination of electrical distribution, cable routes, low-voltage systems, technical risers and accessible service zones.

Main and secondary distribution routes
Cable trays, conduits and service voids
Low-voltage and data infrastructure
Access for inspection and maintenance

Ventilation & Air-Handling Systems

Architectural coordination of ventilation ducts, air-handling equipment, grilles, shafts and maintenance clearances.

Ventilation-shaft positioning
Supply and extract-air routing
AHU and fan access zones
Acoustic and fire-compartment coordination

Heating, Cooling & Hydraulic Services

Planning of boilers, heat pumps, manifolds, pumps, buffer vessels, domestic-hot-water equipment and associated pipework.

Equipment-space requirements
Pipework and manifold routing
Drainage and condensate coordination
Replacement and maintenance access

Technical Rooms & Service Cupboards

Efficient layouts for plant rooms, electrical rooms, service cupboards and compact technical installations.

Equipment zoning and clearances
Door, access and escape requirements
Ventilation and heat-dissipation review
Wall, floor and ceiling integration

Ventilation Shafts & Service Risers

Design coordination for vertical shafts carrying ventilation, electrical, hydraulic and communication services.

Shaft sizing and route continuity
Fire-stopping and compartment interfaces
Inspection-panel locations
Coordination across multiple floors

Maintenance & Safe Access

Planning of practical service access around equipment, filters, valves, electrical panels and inspection points.

Working and maintenance clearances
Removable panels and access doors
Lighting and service sockets
Safe technician circulation

Systems Studio Coordination Workflow

Review architectural plans and existing technical constraints
Prepare coordinated MEP and technical-space layouts
Identify clashes, access risks and missing clearances
Define shafts, equipment zones and service routes
Prepare client and contractor coordination drawings
Support implementation and site clarification
