Mechanical / Electrical Engineering designs

[Internet Know How]

Hey everyone,

 

For new builds, did you always bring in an M&E engineer or did you just bring in a trade and talk them through what you want them to install? 

 

- I am building a 5 bed detached house around 500sqm. 

-  I have previously managed all of this myself for a 400sqm conversion, but never done a ground up development and wondered if I should just bring in someone else to do this for me

 

Thanks

Chris

M & E engineer can be expensive and often better to get design and install for each element.

 

MVHR / ventilation people can do their designs fairly cheaply.  Bathroom designer will inform on that.  Architect will normally suggest SVPs.  You may need a drawing showing switches, sockets and lights, but you may be able to mark it on a plan and get the architect to add these in.

 

M & E people are useful more for non-domestic, blocks of flats etc.
