Every building hides a second structure behind its walls and ceilings. Ducts, pipes, cable trays, and equipment that keep the space running. Contractors call this the MEP network: Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. An MEP detail survey captures this hidden network before a retrofit, fit-out, or facility upgrade begins. So teams never drill into live cables,
