MEP Coordination (Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing)
$8,000–$85,000 per project
MEP coordination is the single biggest reason buildouts run late and over budget: when mechanical, electrical, and plumbing are three separate contracts, conflicts surface in the field instead of on paper, and every clash is a change order. We coordinate MEP in-house on every project we run, and offer it as a service for owners and contractors who want the trades managed by one team. We vet and schedule the subs, run clash detection against the architectural and structural set, sequence rough-in so trades aren't tripping over each other, and stand in for you at coordination meetings — so the system that heats, powers, and plumbs your space is planned before anyone opens a wall.
What We Do
- Single-team management of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors
- Clash detection against architectural and structural drawings before rough-in
- Sub vetting and scheduling — no day-labor, no unvetted crews
- Rough-in sequencing so trades don't collide and rework in the field
- Coordination-meeting representation on your behalf
- Humidity- and climate-appropriate material selection for the Gulf Coast
Why hire one team for the whole project?
Because we coordinate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing in-house and expedite City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend County permits ourselves, you deal with one accountable contractor instead of three. Every job gets a named project manager and a clean, documented permit record — no hidden change orders, no chasing separate subs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does MEP coordination cost on a Katy-area project?
Standalone MEP coordination typically runs about $8,000 to $85,000 depending on the size and complexity of the project and how many trades and systems are involved. On projects we build, MEP coordination is already included — this pricing is for owners and other contractors who want the trades managed by one team. We scope it to your specific project.
What is MEP coordination and why does it matter?
MEP coordination is the single-team management of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades so conflicts get caught on paper before they show up in the field. When MEP is three separate contracts, every clash becomes a change order and a delay — coordinating it as one scope is often the difference between a buildout that finishes on time and one that doesn't.
Do you run clash detection before rough-in?
Yes — we run clash detection against the architectural and structural drawings before rough-in begins, so the systems that heat, power, and plumb the space are planned before anyone opens a wall. Catching a duct, conduit, and pipe conflict on the drawings costs nothing; catching it in the field costs rework and schedule.
How do you handle the Gulf Coast humidity in MEP design?
We select climate-appropriate materials and assemblies for the Gulf Coast's heat and humidity, which informs HVAC sizing, moisture-resistant assemblies, and corrosion considerations on the plumbing and mechanical systems. Building for the actual Houston-area climate up front avoids callbacks and premature failures down the road.
Do you vet the subcontractors you coordinate?
Yes — we vet and schedule every sub we coordinate; there's no day-labor and no unvetted crews on the job. We sequence rough-in so the trades aren't tripping over each other, and we stand in for you at coordination meetings so you have one accountable point of contact for all three trades.
