GGB MEP
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing: power, ventilation, gas, water and drainage. The invisible half of a kitchen build.
MEP covers the services a kitchen lives on: electrical load, ventilation and extract, gas, water supply and drainage. It is the least visible and least forgiving part of a fit-out, because undersized power or extract is discovered under full load, after opening. Restaurant kitchen MEP is designed around the cooking line and the food-safety flow, never retrofitted around finished walls.
Illustrative: the cooking line is specified at 90 kW of electrical load but the shell offers 60 kW, a 30 kW shortfall that surfaces as an upgrade application and weeks of delay. On an AED 800,000 fit-out where MEP is AED 200,000, that single early check governs 25% of the build budget.
