Mechanical systems can include elements of infrastructure, plant and machinery, tool and components, heating and ventilation and so on. Electrical systems might include, power supply and distribution, telecommunications, computing instrumentation, control systems and so on. However, mechanical and electrical engineering can be a wider field than this, including areas beyond building design and construction, such as; large- scale power generation and transmission, transportation systems, infrastructure controls, industrial installations and so on.
There are a large number of specialist M&E subcontractors and suppliers, and many of the bigger main contractors will have their own M&E divisions. A great deal of integration and co-ordination is required and designs are often a collaboration between consultants, contractors and specialists. This can cause problems where there are a number of separate disciplines, packages and suppliers, with no one party taking overall responsibility for co-ordination.
