M&E Consultant Services Surveys

The M&E Consultant is to survey the building services and related project areas as neccessary to ensure that the project design as it develops can be coordinated with:

  • Existing infrastructure
  • Modifications to the existing services systems
  • Proposed incorporation of the design within the building/designated area.

M&E Building Services Validation

The Project Manager and M&E Services Designer are to select and agree with the Engineering Team the appointment of a contractor/consultant to carry out a validation of the existing building services. This survey is to be carried out in consultation with the relevant Maintenance Team.
