MEP Engineering

• Coordinate MEP systems against architectural and structural models in Newforma Konekt using BCF-based issue tracking
• Answer RFIs and review submittals for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scopes in the shared project record
• Capture and file consultant correspondence and markups so MEP design intent stays auditable

Structural Engineering

• Track structural RFIs and submittals and tie them to the drawings and specifications they reference
• Resolve model coordination issues with the architect and other trades via Konekt issue tracking
• File incoming and outgoing project email so structural decisions and approvals are documented
