HVAC drawings backed by real calculations
Equipment is selected from an ACCA Manual J load calculation and a Manual S selection, not from a rule of thumb about square footage. Duct sizing follows Manual D at a stated friction rate, and the numbers appear on the sheet so the plan reviewer does not have to ask for them.
Ductwork and piping laid out in real space
Duct runs are drawn double-line with fittings, transitions and the clearances a sheet-metal shop needs, coordinated against joists, beams, lighting and sprinkler. Where the ceiling cavity genuinely cannot hold everything, the conflict is resolved on paper and the decision is documented.
MEP coordination as a deliverable
Coordination is a drawing, not a meeting: a composite sheet showing all three trades in the same section, a clash list with resolutions, and elevations at the tight spots. It costs an order of magnitude less than the field change it prevents.
