Design and cost estimation of Mep system for 4 storied residential building ( Nikunjo Triplex).

Abstract

This thesis presents a comprehensive design and cost estimation analysis of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems for a Design and cost estimation of Mep system for 4 storied residential building At Nikunjo Triplex. The aim of this study is to develop an efficient and cost effective MEP design that meets the building's functional requirements, energy efficiency goals, and budget constraints. The research methodology involved a detailed review of relevant literature, building codes, standards, and best practices related to MEP systems design for high-rise buildings. Based on this review, a systematic approach was adopted to develop the design parameters, system layouts, equipment selections, and cost estimation models for the MEP systems. For the mechanical system, considerations were made for the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system design, including load calculations, equipment sizing, ductwork layout, and energy efficiency measures. Various HVAC technologies and configurations were evaluated to optimize comfort levels while minimizing energy consumption and operational costs. The electrical system design focused on power distribution, lighting design, and emergency backup systems. Load calculations, voltage drop analysis, and electrical safety standards were considered to ensure reliable and efficient electrical supply throughout the building. In addition, plumbing and fire protection systems were designed to meet water supply, drainage, and fire safety requirements according to local regulations and industry standards. The plumbing design included pipe sizing, fixture selections, and water conservation measures, while the fire protection system comprised sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, and emergency evacuation plans. Cost estimation models were developed for each MEP system component, considering factors such as material costs, labor costs, equipment prices, and installation expenses. A comprehensive cost analysis was conducted to determine the total project budget and identify opportunities for cost optimization without compromising system performance or quality.
