abstract={In the construction industry, the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) of a facility
can amount to up to sixty percent of its total cost. Considering this number, together
with the challenges of routing each of its systems, the MEP coordination becomes a
high priority in design of constructions. The coordination usually involves the trade
contractors and other contract responsible e.g. engineers, VDC coordinator, to discuss
how to integrate their systems into the building. Traditionally, this process considered
a time demanding overlay of drawings - to identify clashes and route the MEP systems.

technologies should be used as a best approach in the MEP coordination. Therefore, the
purpose of this thesis is to develop a better understanding of how effective MEP team
communication and collaboration can enhance the design coordination, by taking

interviews and five observations of the coordination meetings of different

repetitive nature of the observations. The findings suggest that using BIM for MEP is

important: familiarity with the software, participant commitment, avoiding postponing,
and having present the decision makers during the meetings.},

AB In the construction industry, the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) of a facility

with the challenges of routing each of its systems, the MEP coordination becomes a
