MEP Trade Coordination

Most MEP delays on a commercial concrete job aren't caused by the MEP trades themselves-they're caused by underground rough-in that wasn't finished before the pour, or a slab that got poured before an electrical conduit run was located correctly. Once concrete sets, fixing that mistake means saw cutting, patching, and a schedule hit nobody budgeted for.

We coordinate electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-in as a managed sub scope alongside our own foundation and slab work. That means we track the MEP rough-in schedule against our pour schedule and flag conflicts before they become change orders, we verify sleeve, conduit, and floor drain locations against the approved MEP drawings before concrete goes down, and we manage the handoff so trades aren't waiting on each other or working around a pour that happened too early.

On projects where we're a concrete subcontractor to a general contractor, this coordination happens as communication between us and the GC's other subs-we're not taking over their trade relationships, just making sure our schedule doesn't blindside them. On projects where we're contracted direct by a developer or owner, we can manage vetted MEP subcontractors as part of the overall build so the owner has one team accountable for how the underground and structural work comes together.

This service exists because North Texas commercial schedules are tight enough that a single missed rough-in coordination step-one floor drain in the wrong spot, one conduit sleeve forgotten before a pour-can cost more time than the entire concrete scope saves by moving fast.
