Charl Burger, Senior Engineer, CKR Consulting Engineers, speaking to the Daily News Business, said that with permanent peace prevailing in the country, there was a construction boom, which was the reason they had decided to move in to Sri Lanka. In addition, MEP which looks after a total design and planning of a building, was some thing new to Sri Lanka.

MEP Consulting Engineers, through coordinated design of electrical, mechanical and plumbing services, were responsible for bringing the building to life, ensuring safe, conformable and sustainable buildings.

The MEP Consultant is an important stakeholder when it comes to designing, coordination and implementing of any built environment project, be it hotel, hospital, residential, commercial or infrastructure project. They complement the services offered by Architects, Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers and other specialist Consultants.

MEP Consultants are essential on a project as they take the ownership and responsibility for the design of the MEP systems to be in compliance with the local regulatory standards, established good practice, prevalent international/local standards as well as ensuring the functional aspirations and expectations of the end users and the clients are met.
