Emergency….. hvac design larrybuilds | Posted in General Questions on February 24, 2026 08:24pm Hi all, have quite an emergency on our hands. Engaged an MEP engineer months ago with plenty of time to draft our MEP set. We were very close to completion and the engineer has fallen off the face of the earth. Honestly believe he passed away. I am looking for a backup MEP engineer to at least design my mechanical sheets, we are currently at foundation and will be ordering my lumber package soon, which my main concern is MEP distribution thru flooring/roof members, and without my M sheets in particular I am completely dead in the water..(my personal home) if there are any hvac consultants on here please let me know if there is any way to squeeze my project into your schedule. thank you in advance, Larry Answer GBA Detail Library A collection of one thousand construction details organized by climate and house part Search and download construction details Join the leading community of building science experts Become a GBA Prime member and get instant access to the latest developments in green building, research, and reports from the field.
