As explained by u MEP 1st Fix, 2nd Fix, Final Fix defininations are clear...
Thanks
Hi
As explained by Mike
1 st fix could be builders works ,activities before plaster
2 nd fix after plaster
3rd or final fix were it is last step of classification of MEP installation .It is preferential construction sequence
As of my knowledge there is no 4 th fix and so on
Even you could refer links posted by Pinan for further clarification
There is another classification in MEP installation that is BOH & FOH i guess that is not required
Dear Phil,
Jordan is close to UAE. In our work, the 3rd fix means the Electro mechanical items that will be installed after the final painting of walls and ceiling or Wood Covers, and the installation of Floor tiling or wood.
With kind regards,
Samer

Hi Phil - Welcome to PP.
Use the local terminology and follow your friends advice.
Don’t try to change the world you are in - you will lose any potential respect.
In the UK there are usually 3 stages in M&E (MEP) operations.
1st Fix - before plaster
2nd Fix - After plaster
Finals - Luminaires - taps - grilles etc
In a detailed M&E programme I have used many more activities in each of the sections.
As Anoon says - write a detailed definition of what you have included in each section.
Best regards
Mike Testro
its up to you to define what is it, others may use "final fix" while for some has even 4th fix, so it doesnt mean anything until you had defined it and it is known to the rest of the team especially the one who will approve it.
