Before the Lights Turn On: Designing the Systems That Power Every Building | Cornelius Davis
What keeps a commercial building running long before the lights switch on, the air conditioning starts, or the water begins to flow? In this episode of the Lease & Build Podcast, Jeff Megow sits down with Cornelius Davis of Standard Building Consultants to explore the critical role of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering in commercial construction and tenant improvement projects. From office build-outs and renovations to ground-up developments, MEP consultants work alongside architects and contractors to design the systems that make every building functional, safe, and code-compliant. Cornelius explains why proper planning during the design phase can prevent costly mistakes, construction delays, failed inspections, and expensive change orders later in the project. In this episode, you'll learn: * What an MEP consultant does and why they're essential to every commercial project. * How mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems work together behind the scenes. * Why obtaining permits and following approved plans is critical. * The risks of "going rogue" during construction. * How poor coordination between trades can derail a project. * Why HVAC equipment lead times should be considered early in the design process. * How energy codes are changing commercial building design. * Why investing in professional engineering saves time, money, and headaches. * Whether you're a building owner, commercial tenant, real estate developer, architect, general contractor, property manager, broker, or subcontractor, this episode offers practical insights into one of the most overlooked—but most important—parts of the construction process.
