Electrical, mechanical or coordinated MEP engineering—from early design decisions through permit, tender and construction support.
Architectural decisions set the building's use, circulation, ceilings, rooms and material expression. Electrical and mechanical systems must support those decisions without leaving critical loads, equipment space, access or approval requirements until the final submission.
ETEM works from the project brief and available architectural information to define the required disciplines, design basis, interfaces and deliverables. The objective is a clearer engineering scope and fewer late-stage coordination gaps.
Request an MEP scope reviewThe architect can retain the discipline the project is missing, or bring electrical and mechanical requirements together through an integrated MEP scope.
Power distribution, service capacity, lighting, emergency systems, fire alarm, low-current systems and required electrical studies.
Heating and cooling, ventilation, equipment selection, air distribution, plumbing, drainage and controls intent.
Loads, equipment, rooms, ceilings, controls and construction milestones reviewed through one project workflow.
Early coordination protects the architectural concept while keeping the permit and construction package technically workable.
Electrical rooms, mechanical rooms, shafts, risers and service access identified before space becomes fixed.
Lighting, diffusers, grilles, alarms, devices and access requirements reviewed against the architectural ceiling intent.
Mechanical equipment selections and operating requirements aligned with electrical capacity, feeders and points of connection.
Fire alarm, emergency power, mechanical shutdowns, dampers and other interdependent functions assigned and coordinated.
Municipal submission, ESA plan review, utility requirements and discipline-specific approvals identified around the project route.
Equipment access, shutdowns, occupied-building constraints, addenda and contractor questions managed against the design intent.
The exact services are selected for the project's current stage. A late-start assignment is scoped differently from early integrated design.
Occupancy, system options, major loads, utility context, equipment space and MEP implications reviewed before the plan hardens.
Calculations, layouts, schedules, risers, reflected-ceiling interfaces and discipline responsibilities advanced through milestones.
Permit drawings, review comments, tender documentation, specifications, addenda and bidder questions supported as required.
Submittals, RFIs, site reviews, field changes and closeout matters coordinated within the agreed professional scope.
The required calculations, drawings, schedules, specifications and coordination effort depend on the building, authority requirements and project stage.
Use our MEP coordination checklist for architects to organize the concept, permit, tender and construction milestones.
ETEM coordinates the workflow and brings together appropriately qualified electrical and mechanical professionals for the required scope. Discipline-specific deliverables are prepared and reviewed by the appropriate professionals.
Describe the available architectural package and project milestone. We will identify the likely electrical and mechanical workstreams and respond with the next information needed to define the engineering scope.

Yes. The scope can be electrical only, mechanical and plumbing only, or coordinated integrated MEP depending on the consultants already retained and the project deliverables.
Early engagement is most valuable while equipment space, shafts, ceiling zones, service capacity and utility requirements can still influence the plan. ETEM can also join at later stages when information and responsibilities are defined.
Send the project address, architectural plans, reflected ceiling plans or sections if available, building use, project stage, requested disciplines and target submission date.
Yes. The project-specific scope can include calculations, permit drawings, tender documents, review comments, addenda, contractor RFIs, site reviews and construction coordination.
Yes. Lighting, diffusers, grilles, alarms, devices and access needs can be reviewed against the architectural RCP at agreed milestones.
Yes. ETEM supports existing-building renovations, commercial and institutional fit-outs, system replacements, multi-residential work and new construction across Ontario.
