Construction Administration: MEP Commercial Buildings

This 1-hour interactive online course provides the commercial building professional with guidelines for administering construction activities in the MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) discipline area. Many aspects of construction administration are reviewed to provide information on the roles and responsibilities involved with this position.

This course reviews the steps of MEP design for a commercial building that construction administrators are involved in as well as explaining their role in performing MEP building surveys. It provides sources of information, design parameters and discusses requirements of various local jurisdictions in the review of MEP documents for the issuance of building permits.

This course contains a lot of the same information as in the course titled 'Performing MEP Commercial Building Surveys', and it is not recommended that these courses be taken together. This course varies because it focuses on the role of the Construction Administrator.

After completing this course, you will:

• Have a good knowledge of construction administration, roles and responsibilities of the construction administrator, and key features for MEP building construction activities.
• Understand the steps involved in the MEP design for a commercial building as well as performing building surveys.
• Be provided with typical checklists that will facilitate the process of acquiring this design information.
• Be made aware of several important design requirements for commercial buildings, such as show window lighting.

This course includes a multiple-choice test to gage your understanding of the material.
