Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hai Friends,

Is there is any typical (traditional) installation sequence (priorities) between MEP systems such as AC ducts, Chilled water piping, Firefighting piping, Plumbing & Drainage piping, Electrical raceways etc, when all this work would come in one area.

Thanks Andrew, I agree. We have to look into the combined services drawings, sections. But it is difficult to show this things while developing a program.

Generally there is not a typical sequence because all installations are different. You need to look at the drawings, particularly any sections. Think what is highest, install that first, think what is most flexible, install taht last.
You may find that in most cases Duct and any form of pipework is installed prior to electrical works.
