A good MEP engineer: • Can quickly define the problem, and then take time to work toward a solution. • Either knows the answer, or knows how to find the answer. • Is a team player. • Produces CDs that are constructible, meaning they accurately reflect existing conditions, not just lines on a drawing. That starts with a good site visit. • Is quickly responsive to any construction issues. • Can be firm when needed. In other words, unwilling to bend on safety related issues. • Knows how to deploy a list full of bullet points. - Tom Yearwood, Mechanical PE #dcmep #novamep #mdmep#design#engineer #engineering#architecture#mep #designer #teamwork#consultant#buildings #construction#collaboration #fridayintroductions
Work with and listen to the client. Work with the client to develop options. Work closely with the mechanical and electrical contractors and respond to their questions in a timely manner to move the project forward. Produce good MEP drawings that the contractors understand therefore they can place a more accurate cost at bid time. - Ron Marx on what makes a good MEP engineer . . #dcmep #novamep #mdmep#design#engineer #engineering#architecture#mep #designer #teamwork#consultant#buildings #construction#collaboration #fridayintroductions
Reliability alongside a proactive attitude makes for a good starting MEP engineer. These attributes allow young engineers to learn a great deal about the industry from more senior engineers quickly. Close proximity to experienced engineers helps build a solid foundation for young aspiring engineers to build their career. - Ross Lynam . . #dcmep #novamep #mdmep#design#engineer #engineering#architecture#mep #designer #teamwork#consultant#buildings #construction#collaboration #fridayintroductions
One who is responsive to the client’s needs. Whether it is answering a phone call or returning one promptly or providing a quick response to an RFI. Even if you can’t get the RFI response right away letting the client know you are working on it is always appreciated. When the client calls with a question or a concern or sends through an RFI the sooner he gets his needs addressed the better he feels and the more confidant he is in using us on future projects. There is nothing more frustrating to a client then having to wait for his issue to be settled or to have to do a follow up call to the engineer to get an answer. I have heard many clients vent their frustration about lack of responsiveness from engineers at other firms. I know of one firm that worries more about finding out whose fault the problem is than trying to help get it figured out. We all know that the some clients require more hand holding than others but that is just the nature of the business. Sometimes helping a client out with a problem that is not ours goes a long way toward building a relationship that will lead to more work.
