Building envelope and systems context

Building systems share space, capacity and code requirements.

Equipment, distribution routes, structure, room layouts and service capacity affect one another.

Kernel defines the required disciplines and coordinates their drawings so the submission and construction team receive one consistent direction.

Selected work, shown in context.

Each image connects to a condition, design decision or field review described on this page.

How the work is carried through.

The steps below show how observations, calculations, drawings and field support connect for this service.

01

Existing conditions and loads

Review the intended use, available services, equipment, occupancy and constraints that affect system design.

02

Discipline design

Complete the calculations, layouts, selections and schedules required for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing scope.

03

Coordinated drawings

Resolve routes, equipment locations, structural interfaces and architectural clearances before issue.

04

Permit and field support

Provide permit information, respond to review comments and clarify design intent during construction when included.
