What mep issues does Helonic catch?
Combined mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings for all building systems coordination.
Why does NYC BC mep compliance matter?
New York City Building Code compliance for mep drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching NYC BC mep issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
