MEP Trade Coordination
Managed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing sub-scope coordination synced to our concrete and site delivery schedule.
MEP rough-in touches concrete at more points than most owners realize: conduit stub-ups before a slab pours, underground electrical duct banks routed through site work, plumbing under-slab rough-in on a tight tolerance, and transformer or switchgear pads that have to be sized and located before the site plan is final. On projects where we hold the concrete and site scope, we coordinate a team of vetted mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors so those handoffs happen on our schedule instead of getting discovered at the pour.
This is a coordinated scope built for general contractors and owners who want fewer trades to manage, not a claim that we self-perform electrical or plumbing work. We hold the MEP subs accountable to the concrete critical path — stub-ups get set before formwork closes, duct banks get routed before backfill, and pad locations get confirmed before the slab crew mobilizes.
On a ground-up industrial project in the Great Southwest Industrial District or off I-20, the site electrical package alone can involve a utility-owned transformer pad, a private switchgear pad, and duct banks running under three or four different paved areas. We track all of it against the same site logistics plan we use for grading and paving, so an owner gets one schedule instead of four uncoordinated trade schedules layered on top of each other.
What We Include
- Underground electrical duct bank routing coordinated with site concrete and trenching
- Under-slab plumbing rough-in scheduling ahead of slab pour
- Transformer, switchgear, and generator pad sizing and placement
- Conduit stub-up planning before formwork and pour
- Subcontractor sourcing and schedule accountability for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades
- Single point-of-contact coordination for GCs managing a multi-trade concrete and site package
Common Situations
- Distribution center project with duct bank and transformer pad requirements tied to the site concrete schedule
- Manufacturing facility needing under-slab plumbing rough-in coordinated before pour
- General contractor wanting concrete and MEP sub-scopes managed by a single accountable partner
- Ground-up industrial project where electrical service entrance and pad locations depend on final site grading
Common Questions
Do you self-perform electrical or plumbing work?
No. We coordinate licensed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors and manage their schedule against our concrete and site critical path so rough-in and pad requirements are locked before we pour.
Why bundle MEP coordination with a concrete contractor instead of managing it separately?
Because so much MEP rough-in is physically tied to concrete — under-slab plumbing, duct banks, stub-ups, and equipment pads. Coordinating it through the concrete scope removes a common source of field conflicts and schedule slip.
Can you size a transformer or generator pad before the site plan is finalized?
We coordinate directly with the electrical engineer and utility provider to confirm pad size and location, then build it into our site concrete sequencing once dimensions are locked.
Is this a fit for a general contractor who already has their own MEP subs under contract?
Yes. We will coordinate directly with a GC’s existing MEP subcontractors to align stub-up, pad, and trenching requirements with our concrete schedule, even when we are not managing those subs ourselves.
Who coordinates the utility company on transformer pad placement?
We work directly with the local utility provider and the project electrical engineer to confirm pad size, clearance requirements, and access easements before we finalize the site concrete plan, so the pad location does not shift after paving is already down.
How do you handle plumbing rough-in on a tight under-slab tolerance?
We review the plumbing rough-in drawings against our formwork and reinforcement plan before pour, and we hold a pre-pour walk with the plumbing sub so sleeve and stub-out locations are confirmed on-site, not only on paper.
