MEP Coordination (Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing)
$8,000–$85,000 per project
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, or MEP, is the biggest reason buildouts run late and over budget. When the three trades are three separate contracts, conflicts show up in the field instead of on paper, and every clash becomes a change order. We coordinate MEP in-house on every project we run, and we offer it as a standalone service for owners and other contractors. We vet and schedule the subs, check the drawings for clashes before rough-in, and sequence the work so the trades don't collide. We also stand in for you at coordination meetings.
What We Do
- One team manages the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors
- Drawings checked for clashes before rough-in starts
- Subs are vetted and scheduled, no day labor
- Rough-in sequenced, so trades don't collide in the field
- We attend coordination meetings on your behalf
- Materials chosen to handle Gulf Coast heat and humidity
Why hire one contractor for the whole project?
We handle mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work in-house. We also handle City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend County permits ourselves. That means one 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 means one team manages the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades, so conflicts get caught on paper before they show up in the field. When those three trades are three separate contracts, every clash becomes a change order and a delay. Coordinating them 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 check the architectural and structural drawings for clashes 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 time.
How do you handle the Gulf Coast humidity in MEP design?
We select materials and assemblies that hold up to the Gulf Coast's heat and humidity, which shapes our HVAC sizing, moisture-resistant assemblies, and corrosion protection on the plumbing and mechanical systems. Building for the Houston-area climate up front avoids callbacks and early failures down the road.
Do you vet the subcontractors you coordinate?
Yes. We vet and schedule every sub we coordinate, so 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 point of contact for all three trades.
