Irinjalakuda Residence — Electrical & Plumbing MEP Project Profile

Project context

EENOKI’s proposal identifies the project as a residential project at Irinjalakuda. The combined residential area recorded in the proposal is 3,096 square feet. The agreed design scope covers Electrical system design and Plumbing system design, together with drawings, schematic diagrams, schedules, MEP documentation, cost-estimation support, advisory assistance and technical guidance.

Documented Electrical design scope

The electrical scope recorded for the residence includes:

• Assessment of electrical loads.
• Selection of electrical protection equipment.
• Landscape, interior and exterior lighting design.
• Distribution Board and electrical-panel design.
• Cable and feeder selection considering short-circuit and voltage-drop requirements.
• Power-supply layout preparation.
• CCTV and other ELV layout preparation.
• Electrical power-distribution schematic diagrams.
• Bill of Quantities and tender-document preparation.

Documented Plumbing design scope

The plumbing scope recorded in the same proposal includes:

• Cold-water supply system design.
• Hot-water supply system design.
• Stormwater-system design.
• Pipe sizing and routing.
• Water-supply layout drawings.
• Drainage pipe selection and routing.
• Manhole positioning based on site orientation and levels.
• Drainage-system layout drawings.
• Bill of Quantities and tender-document preparation.

Design information and deliverables

The proposal states that design work is to be developed from issued technical information such as architectural drawings in AutoCAD format and equipment details. Deliverables are described as drawings, schematic diagrams and schedules, supported by technical guidance and project coordination where required.

This is an important distinction in MEP consultancy: the quality of the design depends on current architectural information, equipment requirements and coordination inputs being available at the right time.

Planned project workflow

The documented workflow begins with meetings and discussions with the client and architect to collect project requirements and establish a design brief. Preliminary drawings are then prepared for review so feedback and modifications can be incorporated before final drawings are issued.

The proposal also records further technical assistance and advisory support during the project where required, with site visits available for clarification.

What this project demonstrates

This Irinjalakuda residence is a useful example of a residential project where Electrical and Plumbing are treated as coordinated design disciplines rather than separate site decisions. Electrical distribution, lighting, CCTV / ELV provisions, water supply, drainage and stormwater all depend on the architectural layout and need to be planned before construction makes routes and service spaces difficult to change.

The documented scope also shows why a residential MEP package is more than a point layout. It includes load assessment, protection, distribution, schematics, pipe sizing, drainage routing, manhole positioning and BOQ-related documentation.
