MEC International is a prestigious construction company in both VietNam and Cambodia market. We have many years experience in design and especially technical drawings in the process of operating projects. Hence, our engineers conclude that a number of drawings are needed to describe the building structure and its internal systems. To make construction plans clearer, drawings are divided into 4 groups: architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical.

Firstly, architectural drawings express the appearance of the building: site plans, interior and exterior elevations, sections, and any details required to provide a clear image of how the completed project must look like for investors. By working with competent architects, investors can make sure that drawings are easier to understand and then decide whether to accept the model designed or not.

Secondly, structural drawings represent how the building is physically designed. At a glance, these drawings look similar to architectural drawings because they also show the same floor plans, elevations, sections and details. But the difference is that structural drawings specify the essential elements for the dead load and the live load of buildings. There must be an absolutely exact match of shape and dimensions between architectural and structural drawings.

Thirdly, electrical drawings describe a system delivering electricity to building appliances and equipments, and they are designed by electrical engineers. These drawings are simple or complicated, which depends on the size of the project.

Finally, mechanical drawings provide the layout and technical specifications for mechanical system, which includes plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, metal mechanism and fire protection.

MEC is proud of having professional engineers specialising in designing technical drawings. Among them, structural, electrical and mechanical drawings are our strengths in construction projects. MEC understands that every project needs the best preparation, so our engineers always work wholeheartedly at any detail and stage to meet the demands of investors.
