MEP considerations

Spatial Allowances – risers and main


horizontal services routes must allow for
framing

Plantrooms need to consider pre-assembly –


for example, pumpsets on skids

Early involvement of suppliers essential to


ensure all DfMA options have been
considered during the concept design
