Healthcare & Hospital MEP Estimating Services

Precision MEP quantity takeoffs and bid-day pricing for acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and medical office buildings aligned with project drawings and healthcare specifications.

What Makes Healthcare & Hospital MEP Estimating Unique?

Healthcare MEP estimating involves specialized life-safety and clinical hygiene specifications that do not exist in standard commercial construction. Takeoffs must accurately quantify NFPA 99 medical gas piping (oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, vacuum, WAGD) using brazed ACR copper, scheduled air exchange rates and terminal HEPA filtration per ASHRAE Standard 170 for surgical suites, isolation rooms, and NEC 517 Essential Electrical System branch segregation as scheduled by the engineer-of-record.

Scope of Work

Clinical & Hospital MEP Takeoff Disciplines

Every clinical fixture, medical gas branch, air filtration bank, and isolated power circuit quantified with surgical accuracy.

NFPA 99 Medical Gas & Clinical Plumbing (Div 22)

Itemized takeoffs of medical gas piping loops, zone valve boxes, master alarms, and wall/ceiling outlets for Category 1 through 3 healthcare facilities.

  • ACR Type L/K degreased copper tubing with silver brazed joints
  • Zone valve boxes (ZVB), pressure switches & area alarm panels
  • Surgical scrub sinks, thermostatic mixing valves, and eye-wash stations
  • Acid-resistant waste (PVDF/PP) for clinical laboratories

Healthcare HVAC & Infection Control (Div 23)

Airflow quantification per ASHRAE 170 for surgical suites, catheterization labs, central sterile supply, and airborne infectious isolation (AII) rooms.

  • 100% outside air custom AHUs with dual fan arrays
  • Laminar flow diffuser arrays & terminal HEPA filter housings
  • Fast-acting Venturi air valves for room pressurization control
  • Dedicated infectious isolation exhaust ductwork & bio-fans

Essential Electrical Systems & Isolated Power (Div 26)

NEC 517 Essential Electrical System branch quantification for hospital life-safety, critical, and equipment branches, isolated power panels in wet operating environments, and nurse call raceways.

  • Three-branch Essential Electrical System (Life Safety, Critical, Equipment)
  • Isolated Power Systems (IPS) with line isolation monitors (LIM) for ORs
  • Hospital-grade tamper-resistant receptacles & ground loops
  • Nurse call, telemetry raceway, and surgical lighting support booms

FAQ

Healthcare MEP Estimating Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We quantify medical gas systems pipe-by-pipe and fitting-by-fitting using degreased ACR Type L/K copper tubing with brazed joint factoring under nitrogen purge. We itemize master alarms, area alarm panels, zone valve boxes (ZVB), and gas-specific terminal wall/ceiling outlets for oxygen, medical air, vacuum, nitrous oxide, and waste anesthetic gas disposal (WAGD).
