Due Diligence Documentation "Exhibit E-17"
MEP Engineer's Report &
Approvals
The following notes
are provided pertaining to this exhibit:
-
What: the
MEP Engineer reviews the architectural designs to determine if the
foundation and load-bearing structures can support the building without
placing these structural systems at risk of failing.
-
When: during
the pre-construction phase once the market feasibility study (see Exhibit
F-3), the pro forma financial presentation (see Exhibit
F-5), site plan draft (see Exhibit
E-5), conceptual architectural drawings, the Design/Builder has been
retained (see Exhibit C-3) and the Schematic Phase Architectural (see Exhibit
E-4) have been
completed.
-
Why: the
Project MEP Engineer is the only provider legally capable of
designing the project's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Every
to-be-built real estate project must (by law) have its architectural designs
reviewed and stamped by the MEP Engineer of record.
-
Where: the
work is undertaken at the MEP Engineer's offices and copies of
reports and recommendations are kept by the Design/Builder and Project
Architect.
-
How: as
drawings pertaining to the project's design and vertical skeleton
are created by the Project Architect, these are reviewed by the MEP Engineer under the authority of the
Design/Builder.
-
What's important: all
MEP systems to be built must have the MEP Engineer's stamp on the drawing
sets that demonstrate the MEP systems designs have been properly reviewed
and approved.
-
For projects that
do not entail any new construction that is materially significant, this exhibit is not
required.
