MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing)
Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, helps investors, owners, and lenders across Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the I-4 corridor put terms like this to work on real deals through Linton Global Solutions.
MEP stands for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing: the building systems that include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, power distribution and lighting, and water and sewer piping.
MEP engineers design these systems, and their condition is a major part of building due diligence.
In Due Diligence
A property condition assessment reviews MEP age, condition, and remaining useful life. In Florida, HVAC systems and roofs are often the biggest near-term capital items. See due diligence.
In Development
MEP design affects construction cost, energy use, and tenant flexibility, and is coordinated with architectural and structural design.
A Hypothetical Example
A buyer's property condition report finds that several rooftop HVAC units are near the end of their useful life, and the buyer negotiates a price credit. Hypothetical scenario.
From the Desk
The roof and the HVAC are where the surprises live in Florida. Get MEP age in writing before you price the deal.
