MEP estimating services in the UAE
MASONORA estimates MEP for UAE contractors, MEP subcontractors and fit-out companies. We measure HVAC and district cooling connections, electrical distribution to the utility authority’s requirements, plumbing and drainage, fire protection to the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code, and low-voltage systems, for new buildings and fit-outs, priced in UAE dirhams.

What changes for MEP in a fit-out?
Fit-outs usually modify base-build services rather than install them from scratch: relocating fan coil units and diffusers, extending sprinkler branches, adding lighting and small power, and connecting to the landlord’s systems. We measure modifications, new work and removals separately, because each carries different labor and approval requirements.
Do you include utility authority requirements?
Electrical and water connections follow the requirements of the local utility authority in each emirate. We measure what the drawings show for meters, main panels and connections and list approvals assumed, so the contractor can confirm authority fees and timelines.
Can you estimate district cooling connections?
Yes. Where a building is served by district cooling, the energy transfer station, chilled water pipework and associated controls are measured from the drawings, with the provider’s connection charges excluded unless you ask us to carry an allowance.
How do you price MEP in occupied buildings?
Fit-outs in occupied towers and malls often restrict noisy or disruptive work to nights and weekends, and require permits for shutdowns of sprinklers or power. We price those restrictions as labor adjustments and list the shutdowns and permits assumed, so the estimate reflects how the work will really be carried out.
