Frequently Asked Questions
What do MEP consultants do on engineering projects?
+
MEP consultants design and manage the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that allow a building to operate safely and efficiently. At Stonehaven, our MEP engineering team supports every stage of a project from concept design and authority approvals to construction supervision and lifecycle maintenance planning. We ensure systems are optimised for performance, energy efficiency, operational safety, and long-term asset value across the UAE and GCC.
Is MEP or BIM better for engineering design?
+
MEP design and BIM are not competing disciplines, they complement each other. MEP engineering provides essential calculations, load assessments, equipment sizing, and compliance-led design. BIM enhances this by adding intelligent 3D modelling, clash detection, real-time coordination, and data-rich lifecycle management. At Stonehaven, BIM strengthens the accuracy, speed, and integration of our MEP workflows, ensuring fewer site issues and smoother project delivery.
Why are MEP engineers in high demand today?
+
MEP engineers are in rising demand due to the region’s focus on sustainable development, energy efficiency, and advanced building systems. The UAE and GCC continue to prioritise new construction, major refurbishment programmes, and compliance with green-building standards. Stonehaven’s MEP engineers support these needs by designing systems that reduce energy use, support smart-building technologies, and ensure long-term operational reliability.
