MEP Rough-Ins

AI-powered mep rough-in takeoff software

MEP rough-in takeoffs are notoriously complex because the scope spans three trades, three spec divisions, and three sets of drawings. PreCal-IQ separates the scope by trade and surfaces the rough-in requirements (in-wall blocking, framing for fixtures, wall openings) that often get missed.

What's included

Every mep rough-ins item, accounted for

  • Plumbing rough-in scope (water, waste, vent locations)
  • HVAC rough-in (duct routes, equipment pads)
  • Electrical rough-in (panel locations, conduit runs)
  • In-wall blocking for fixtures and equipment
  • Floor and wall penetrations

Why teams switch

What manual mep rough-ins takeoffs cost you

Three trades each assuming the others handle in-wall blocking

Missing equipment pads in the structural slab because the MEP and structural plans were reviewed separately
