This 1-hour interactive online course provides the commercial building professional with guidelines for administering construction activities in the MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) discipline area. Many aspects of construction administration are reviewed to provide information on the roles and responsibilities involved with this position.

This course reviews the steps of MEP design for a commercial building that construction administrators are involved in as well as explaining their role in performing MEP building surveys. It provides sources of information, design parameters and discusses requirements of various local jurisdictions in the review of MEP documents for the issuance of building permits.


This course contains a lot of the same information as in the course titled 'Performing MEP Commercial Building Surveys', and it is not recommended that these courses be taken together. This course varies because it focuses on the role of the Construction Administrator.


Vector Solutions has a long history of providing industry-specific content for its customers. While this course and its content remain accurate and functional within our systems, the look and feel may not match our more modern offerings.
