Calling all M&E Planners

Hi,

My 2 pence worth of advise for M&E Planning...

First thing to note is you are at the mercy of the Main contractor regarding overall M&E duration! Increasingly, a good number of planners & PMs are taking into cognizance the fact that M&E package is probably the most integral part of a construction project, hence involving M&E from the onset.

Generally, I conside M&E to have 3 fixes - 1st, 2nd & Final. 1st Fix Electrical being your primary & secondary containment, conduit drops etc. 2nd Fix being cabling & termination & final fix - light fittings, sockets, spurs etc etc.

Also worth noting is the high level of co-ordination with other fit out trades such as 1st & 2nd side partitioning, painting & mist coating, ceilings etc etc.

As much as possible, I would avoid having 2 disciplines on 1  line of programme - e.g. M&E 1st Fiix - For the simple reason - That line of programme becomes as ambiguous as possible. Clear case of how long is a piece of string!

Hope this helps...

Kayode.
