m/e/p for residential
m/e/p for residential
(OP)
I work for a firm that provides architectural and structural plans and engineering for primarily residential structures. We are being asked more frequently to do m/e/p drawings. Does anyone have any recomendations of any book(s) with a basic guide for these plans (sizing pipe, electrical load calcs, etc.). The plans we have seen all look very simple, but we would like a reference so that we can learn to do them correctly (ie. "pluming plans for dummies). Thank you for any input.

However, I'll restate the question, "Does anyone know of any good references for residential m/e/p plans". I have found a few, but they seem over-simplified. Maybe they are that simple, I don't know. I understand the statement "Hire someone qualified to do the MEP", that is why we have typically stayed away from them and have stuck to the structural side. We are now trying to learn something new. Doing this could save us headaches on projects down the road when the contractor comes back and says one of the M/E/P guys put a hole in a beam - "is that OK". By controlling these plans, we can plan for such things.
So, if anyone has any reference recomendations, that would be helpful. Thanks again.
