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.

Its other way round Shahul,

Plumbing works are carried by the same E&M Contractor and thats why the name MEP.

But it’s like a slang to use, Electromechanical instead of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing
