    Guide

    MEP fix stages explained

    Each step is tagged with its fix stage so the sequence lines up with the civil and finishes programme.

    Approvals and setting out
    Shop drawings, material submittals and setting out approved before installation starts.
    First fix
    Concealed work installed before walls, floors and ceilings are closed: conduits, pipes, ducts and containment. Inspected before concealing.
    Second fix
    Connections and exposed items once finishes are well advanced: cable pulling, insulation, equipment connections.
    Final fix
    Visible fittings after painting and tiling: switches, sockets, light fittings, grilles, diffusers and sanitaryware.
    Testing and commissioning
    Pressure tests, insulation resistance tests, balancing and functional tests, with witnessed records for the O and M manuals. Civil Defence approval where required.
    FAQ

    Questions about the MEP sequence generator

    Short answers on using the output in method statements and ITPs.

    Are these sequences ready to submit?

    They are typical MEP sequences for building works in the GCC, written as a starting point. Check every step, test pressure and duration against your approved specification, authority rules and ITP before you submit.

    Why are test values not given as numbers?

    Test pressures, durations and acceptance values depend on the specification and the authority. Add them in the remarks or edit the steps for your project.

    Can I change the steps?

    Yes. Press Edit these steps to copy the sequence into the custom editor, then add, remove or reword steps. End a line with [H] or [W] to mark an inspection.

    Which exports are available?

    Copy steps (pastes as a table into Word or Excel), Print, Flowchart PNG and a PDF method statement extract with the checklist, flowchart and step table.

    Is my data stored?

    Your inputs are saved only in this browser so they are there next time. Nothing is sent to a server.
