Our Process for Tampa Projects

Systems Review

We evaluate the plans for each discipline (M, E, P) and identify where systems intersect or drive sizing for one another.

Detailed Takeoff

Quantification of all equipment, piping, ductwork, conduit, wire, and fixtures.

Coordination Check

We flag potential clashes (e.g., ductwork and plumbing in the same chase) that could cause change orders.

Pricing & Delivery

We apply current Florida labor and material rates to deliver a unified MEP estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does MEP estimating include?

MEP estimating includes the cost estimation of mechanical (HVAC), electrical, and plumbing systems, including materials, equipment, and labor for installation.

Do you provide separate estimates for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing?

Yes. We provide standalone mechanical, electrical, and plumbing estimates, as well as fully coordinated MEP estimates for combined bidding.

Can you estimate MEP systems for both new construction and renovations?

Yes. Our MEP estimators handle new construction, renovation, and system upgrade projects across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Is Tampa located in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ)?

No. Tampa and Hillsborough County are not HVHZ-designated. They fall under the standard Wind-Borne Debris Region provisions of the Florida Building Code, which require impact protection but accept statewide Florida Product Approvals.

Have wind speed requirements changed recently in Tampa?

Yes. The 2023 Florida Building Code (8th Edition) adopted updated ASCE 7-22 wind speed maps, altering design wind speeds and Wind-Borne Debris Region boundaries across the Tampa area.
