Before the roofers can get very far, contractors will have to review the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) checklist. Without a complete checklist, it's possible that even the most seasoned contractor will neglect to install some vital part of the home's mechanics or structure. Interior conditions and dimensions, electrical systems, HVAC systems, plumbing systems and emergency equipment are all areas of the home structure and mechanics that are included on the checklist.
The Roof Plan should be present in every project portfolio. These drawings tell roofers what pitch, angle and rise to use for the roof, as well as, other added architectural features to create. A complete roof plan will include information about the current conditions of the home and site and any planned renovations. They will also include any parapet walls, roof outline, mechanical equipment, and roof penetrations.
The Above Ceiling Plan shows contractors and architects where the mechanics of the house lay. The Above Ceiling plans help roofers know where important parts of the home structure exist such as, duct work and electrical wiring. Contemporary laser scanning devices help immensely in the creation of these two different plans. It will provide the following, exterior and interior walls, deck heights, columns, beams, joists, sprinkler lines, ductwork, and HVAC locations with roof penetrations.
The Roof Plans and Above Ceiling Plans are needed to safely complete a new roof or renovations to the roof. AS built drawings can also help create incredibly accurate and detailed plans possible for roofing contractors. A MEP checklist is also practical in ensuring that all other aspects of the homes mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are completed and in place before finishing the roof. Time-consuming delays can be avoided by getting these plans in advance of any building project.
